Bad Shabbos

Audience Award Winner at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, BAD SHABBOS is here to prove that even Shabbat can go haywire in this off-beat comedy. Directed by Daniel Robbins and co-written by Zack Weiner, this chaotic “one-night-in-New-York” story turns family dinner into a sidesplitting disaster.

When two couples — Abby and Benjamin, and David and Meg (freshly converted to Judaism)— gather for a traditional Shabbat dinner, things spiral faster than you can say “hamotzi” when an accidental death (or…murder?) derails the evening entirely, and Meg’s devoutly Catholic parents are due any moment to meet David’s very Jewish family. Before you know it, Shabbat becomes a comedy of biblical proportions.
