Default "When Do We Eat?"

CINDY ADAMS (umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer - legendary gossip columnist
for the NY Post - oldest, continuously published newspaper in the world
- founded by one of our founding fathers - Alexander Hamilton):

ACTRESS' FILM FAMILY FEELS LIKE HER OWN

I had a hilarious talk with Lesley Ann Warren, who's coming out in a
sort of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" Jewish-style film called "When Do We
Eat?" Said Lesley: "Besides flashbacks and fantasy sequences, it's
basically all set around one Passover meal. That means our whole cast
was shot all around this dinner table for three months. I got to the
point where If I saw one more matzo ball, I thought I'd kill myself. "I
remember these actual family Passover dinners. Probably nobody suspects
it, but I'm Jewish. I don't practice the religion, but my parents did,
and I remember my great-grandma's Seders.
They were very much like the movie. Crazy. Sweet. Rambunctious.
Contentious. Funny. Dysfunctional. With factions. Those doing well,
those not doing well. Who's siding with whom. Those pairing off and
those left out. And the jealousies like, "You were always mama's
favorite.' Stuff comes out in every family get-together." "When Do We
Eat" opens April 7, and Lesley Ann Warren hits New York next week for
the expected sit-down interviews.
