Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

davewe Perhaps it's my American perspective, but I didn't like anything about this film. In order to characterize a film as a comedy-drama it has to be funny. I don't think there was a solid laugh in the entire film.As to the romance, audiences generally root for a likable couple that they want to see get together. Both characters were horrible. David, unemployed and not anxious to change that status, verbally abuses Batya, calling her dingbat and bitch repeatedly. Batya is not much better. They argue constantly and neither character was exactly a great wit! Even so, as a drama this can all still be salvaged if the characters change during the course of the movie. They don't. David gets successful by pure chance and by clinging to the coattails of a friend.Batya leaves him (the only smart thing she did in the whole film) and returns to her home town.Somehow they decide to get married in the end. Here's wishing they don't have any kids!

DrWhynot David, portrayed as an auto mechanic who dreams of being a magician is actually an verbally and sexually abusive boyfriend with delusions of competence. His live in enabler, characteristically and delusionally, hopes that he will change. The only magic in the film is his "magical" and unexplained rise to success. To be fair some individuals who watched it with me called it "poignant" and "interesting." However NO ONE called it "funny." The ending offers little help in giving meaning to the film. Implied oral sex and graphic anal sex contribute nothing to the vapid content.

mc22 I just saw this movie and I want the last 90 minutes of my life back. At about the 50 minute mark I looked up and groaned that I still had 40 minutes left. I would've just stopped it, but I paid a damn good $2 to rent it so I figured why not let it end.Pick a Card (Afula Express) is an entirely horrible movie. It follows to hateable, mismatched people who are in love (??)....Maybe. David is a pathetic, lazy loser that dreams of an obviously unreachable stardom. Batya is his overweight, whiny girlfriend who appears to have no ambition or care about anything else but David and her former home. There is no rhyme or reason for these two to care about each other except maybe they're both so unattractive they can't find anyone else to sleep with them. In fact, the most memorable thing, and by memorable I mean nightmare-ish memorable, is a scene of rough sex between the two leads in a darkened alleyway. The scene is disturbing and completely non-sensical in the context of the relationship.The plot is both non-sensical and predictable. I won't tell you how it ends, but if you can't figure it out halfway through then you have not seen very many movies.You'll be better off if you don't see this movie. And if you do see it, don't be angry...I did warn you.

yairho "pick a card", very funny & israeli film about couple from AFULA very little city that think they could find happiness in the big city TEL AVIV. the man have a dream that he could be wizard & make a lot of money but the reality is more hard then what he dreamed. very good movie i recommend with all my heart.
