Nice movie about a nice Jewish family

All the actors did good work and were great to watch. The oldest Douglas did a real good job and there were moments that he sounded like he did in his youth. The Passover Seder brought back a lot of family memories for me. The relationships were very real and touching and I felt like I knew these people or was related to them. This movie was fun and moving and I really liked it and I think everyone enjoys this even if they are not Jewish.
