Agreement: a perfect lead casting. It's hard to maintain the nuances he did in such broad satire. I think JI

has little or no sense of humor regarding his religion, according to his prior thread post. That's okay. But, having been raised a Catholic, I have no problem laughing at my "old" religion, or any other.
Actually, generations of Jewish comedians have found their faith a fertile source of mirth, from Mel Brooks through Woody Allen.
Would NO Jewish boy get stoned and attend his ceremony? I don't know, that's an awfully large assertion by JI. Cannot Rabbis be a rich source of humor, too? How about attorneys and doctors? Fact is, the Coen's lampooned pretty much everyone in this film, including the WASP neighbors, the Jewish Princess/Queen neighbor's wife (gosh, I wonder if ANY Jewish middle-aged wives smoked pot in those days?).
This was a hysterically funny film: the theater was rocking during many scenes. Like I mentioned, when it ended, there was a general wave of disappointment which flowed through the crowd: it wanted a lot more and so did I!
