ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

artpf Mordechai Jefferson Carver, aka the Hebrew Hammer, is an orthodox Jewish stud who goes on a mission to save Hanukkah. When Santa Claus's evil son Damian is pushed over the edge by his father's liberal policies, he does away with the Christian patriarch. Subsequently stepping into his father's role, Damian launches a campaign to eradicate the Jewish Holiday. The Hammer joins forces with Esther Bloomenbergensteinenthal, the gorgeous and dangerous daughter of the leader of the Jewish Justice League; and his brother-in-arms Mohammed Ali Paula Abdul Rahim, the head of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front, to topple Santa's evil progeny and to save Hanukkah for future generations of Jews.It's a bigoted intolerant sacrilegious movie that could only be made in America. Morty gets a dreidel while all the Christians get an abundance of presents. Well whose fault is THAT?I now this is a comedy, but the movie is idiotic. And if any Christian made a film that started with a title page that said something to the effect of "we're sick of the Jews" Hell would be had to pay.Suck is the double standard under which we live today. Time to change things, don't you think?Anyway, it's a reasonably funny movie, albeit a one trick pony.

lastliberal If I had my eyes closed at the opening, I might have though that I was hearing Isaac Hayes introducing Shaft. What I got, however, was the Jewish version of Shaft - The Hebrew Hammer.It plays like a blaxploitation film of the seventies, but it's purpose is to slam every Jewish stereotype they can. They added a lot of Black stereotypes as well, as the Hammer joined with the Kwanzaa League to defeat the evil Santa that was trying to wipe out Hanukkah.Adam Goldberg was good as the Hammer, and Mario Van Peebles as his Black partner. Andy Dick as Santa's son, not so much. Nora Dunn was perfect as the Hammer's mother.

gwienerbrodkey I completely enjoyed this film. It had all of the things that I think make a good movie. It was comedic, romantic, completely unorthodox and somewhat perverted. The storyline was put together very well and the actors and actresses completely fit the parts. I think you would enjoy this film much more if you were Jewish, but you would still understand most of it even if you weren't. I think this movie shouldn't be viewed by anyone under 11, depending on how fussy the parents are about their kids seeing a film with coarse language, mild sexuality and some violence. I, however am 12, and I thoroughly understood every joke in the movie, but that's only because I happen to be Jewish. I think comprehension is a major necessity in this film, because there are many references to Judaism. Thank you for reading my review.

wmjgas59 I got his film on DVD for Channukah. The friend who gave it to me and my best friend watched it recently. The film itself is quite good. Lots of cool folks in it (and Andy Dick). Some fine comedic acting and a lot of fun visual gags.We had fun watching it. But when we decided to listen 'for a few minutes' to the commentary we were in stitches. The director and the star of the film were discussing it when the director's Mother came in. She MADE the commentary. We laughed so hard we had to back the thing up to hear what we'd missed. She's a hoot! Great flick, except for Andy doing his usual shtick. FANTASTIC director's commentary.Buy the DVD and enjoy!
