Sentimental comedy-drama about a year in the life of a Jewish family in 1950's Baltimore.

A fine light hearted drama that you'd expect from Levinson. Although I found this movie could've ended five or six times in its final 15 minutes, it doesn't detract much from the rich characterizations that lend to the high audience appeal of this film.

Several nice performances offset some less than spectacular writing. And there's more than a couple scenes that should garnish a healthy belly laugh as well as those that poses imaginative irony.

Directed by Barry Levinson.
