Sweet, sexy, and unexpectedly enchanting, Yana's Friends is the little feel-good comedy that could.
Swept Israel's version of the Oscars two years ago, and though it won't do as well here, it's an accomplished debut with heart, war and sex. In the age of paranoia, it just might be the perfect date movie.
You probably never dreamed a charming romantic movie could be staged against a backdrop of Scud attacks from Saddam Hussein.
May well be the first film ever to show people having sex while wearing gas masks.
If you're wondering whether the rules of love change during war, you won't find a better case than the urgent, darkly comic relationship between these two.
The comedy is fairly light and the romance decidedly offbeat.
No more than a sentimental little comedy.
