Synopsis:
coming-of-age teen comedy, the Israeli BONJOUR MONSIEUR SHLOMI eschews scatological humor for a warm, melodramatic humanism. Shlomi is a young man who has become the linchpin of his dysfunctional family--he does the cooking, he cares for grandfather, he mediates between feuding parents. He spends so much time caring for others that he is unable to look after his own schooling and personal life. But when he simultaneously falls in love and is declared a genius by the school principal, Shlomi must find a delicate balance between serving himself best without abandoning his needy family. BONJOUR MONSIEUR SHLOMI was nominated for 12 Israeli Academy Awards.

Your Opinions and Comments
This is a truly brilliant and emotional drama about a kid. A special kid called Shlomi. Shlomi is a brilliant kid, who is accidentally thought to be stupid.
The movie tells Shlomi`s story and his interaction with his messed-up family, friends, school principal and much more.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression sings and the widescreen frame is accurate. Note that the disc includes the original widescreen version and not the fullscreen one.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are used occasionally, but no overwhelmingly, which totally fits the movie`s pace.
The menus are nicely animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary by the director and cast, a picture gallery, a behind the scenes look and a music video.
Bottom line - a great movie with a great cast, and yeah, it was made in Israel!!! :) Don`t miss it.
