God's Neighbors

I have mixed feelings about first-timer Meny Yaesh's script. The dialogue, I thought, was highly impressive, but his plot is blatantly copied from English-speaking films and pasted into an Israeli setting. There are some great individual scenes, especially early on, but as the film progresses the characters and their conflicts are exposed as crudely archetypal, and the plot becomes completely by-the-book and predictable.
