Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

emilylkrull I saw a showing of Putzel in a private screening in New York City. After the screening was over I immediately asked when it would be coming out so that I could order a copy. Putzel is classic storytelling at it's best. It had its moments where I laughed so hard I almost cried, and moments where I actually teared up. Through the skilled directorial work of Jason Chaet- Jack Carpenter, Melanie Lynskey, John Pankow and all the rest of the cast developed characters that made the audience want to know more about each of them (to even what fish they'd like to order). I'd recommend Putzel to all of my friends and family. It's an ideal feel-good-about-life movie.

roberte192 Went into a special screening of Putzel in New York not knowing what to expect. Walked out finding it surprisingly hilarious. The performances and the music hit you in just the right way. It's all very Woody Allen. I know my Jewish parents will love it, so as soon as it gets released a online I'm going to get them to watch it. Melanie Lynskey is really great in this. I am a fan of her work and she did not disappoint. I had never seen Jack Carpenter before this movie and in the first 10 minutes I really clicked onto him. John Pankow is especially hilarious. The movie has a very honest feel and is overall a great film. I would recommend it to anyone.

Ron Kay Putzel is a charming romantic comedy about a 30'ish boy/man (Jack Carpenter) who dreams of owning the family bagel and lox store in the upper west side of NYC. Problems arise when his wife wants a divorce, his uncle, who currently owns the store, wants to sell it to someone else and move to Arizona, and his fear of leaving his comfort zone by not being able to venture beyond the boundaries of his neighborhood.Further complications arise when a 30'ish aspiring dancer (Melanie Lynskey--"Rose from the TV show "2 1/2 Men") enters his and his uncle's lives. Confusion, pathos, and many laughs follow in the best tradition of Woody Allen.

Bill Wolkoff If, like me, you've bemoaned the lack of character-based, pathos-filled, and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny relationship comedies lately, then Putzel will come as a welcome breath of whitefish and lox-scented air. With all the bite and heart of the best Billy Wilder movies, director Jason Chaet tells a story of dysfunctional romance and blighted dreams, set entirely within the delivery radius of an old-school, family-owned Manhattan deli. The stakes have never been higher for Walter "Putzel" Himmelstein as he gamely attempts to manage an uncertain future, a wildly egotistical uncle, an irrational phobia, and a deli counter, which all finally comes into focus for him when a ballet and fish-loving shiksa goddess played by the always great Melanie Lynskey plies (plee-ayys?) into his life. There's bona fide laughter and tears here, and it all comes in a witty, Manischewitz-soaked punch.
