Comedy turns to drama when two schmucks try to sell a classic car in Germany

Two Israeli car dealers believe they have it made when they buy a clean 1985 Lincoln Continental Limousine from an Arab recently arrived from Canada. They expect to get ten times more by reselling it in Germany. Ship the car by freight, fly to Germany and pick up the car at the docks. That's when the story begins in earnest.

The comedy part relies on two schmucks used to a rough and tumble working class existence traveling across a well organized and disciplined society. The learning experience for the two would-be nouveau riche provides a few good laughs, e.g. the wine ahead of beer sort of thing. The travails of selling the car are gradually overlapped by recollections of how Jews were treated in Nazi Germany. Comedy shifts to drama.

Though the film if sometimes formulaic, the story is well developed. Acting is spotty. Comic opportunities were missed; I would have expected some jokes about the limo and the expectation for a fully dressed chauffeur. Ultimately what retains our interest is the fate of the car.
