Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
If director Eran Riklis's intention is to show the blossoming humanity, so to speak, of a human resources manager, the transformation is much too subtle to work.

rotten:
Even with incidents involving drunken locals, an underground bunker and a decommissioned tank, the film doesn't build the comic momentum of good intentions hurtling downhill in a strange land.

fresh:
A cross-cultural shaggy-dog story along the lines of Bill Forsyth's "Local Hero."

fresh:
Yehoshua and Riklis are sometimes better at setting things up than following through, but the result suggests a novelistic density.

Ivanir's acting is the key - he portrays the transition without sentimentalizing his character.
