This raucous, rowdy, funny, warm, gross, action-packed, delight if a movie is full of twists and turns. It kept me laughing, guessing, aroused and on the edge of my seat. It is at once filled with cliched blocking and originality; feeling like a low budget B movie and an A-rated blockbuster. By the 8th and final episode, I was satisfied and completely obliterated, myself.

BTW - C. Thomas Howell was icing on the cake. I didn't even recognize him till episode 6 or 7. That's only one of the many little surprises that when combined, out this series over the top. I wouldn't be surprised if this is nominated for a number of awards. It excels in several categories across the board and if there was a category for "Movie that looked most fun to make", this would be a contender. Just don't overthink any plot loopholes, sit back and enjoy the action, hijinx and snappy dialogue.

Funny, but most of the comments here are raving about the movie, yet somehow

it only scored 6.7 stars at the time of this posting. To me, Crossing Delancey is one of the best romantic comedies ever made and ranks highly among my favorite movies in general.

Reizl Bozyk's performance as Bubbie Kantor is priceless. Amy Irving and Peter Riegert have amazing chemistry and all of the characters are very well defined and well portrayed, although I think the matchmaker was just a tad over-the-top, even for a yenta. But that's okay, The storyline is paced just right - a great flick to do popcorn by.

Though I would ordinarily give it an 8.5, I rated it 10 stars to bring the average closer to what the reviews (and my personal opinion) reflect.
