TTJan 24, 200510Any gentiles squeamish about the idea of a Holocaust comedy can take it from a real, live Jew- Train of Life does no disrespect with it's humor. Indeed, it honors victims of the Holocaust and *any* attempt at "ethnic cleansing" with it's fantastic, friendly and very Jewish light on humanity and her sorrows.

DanielT.Nov 15, 200310The truth is no less tragical throughout the entire story, and comedy's whole value comes from the immediate experimentation of life in a shtetl.

StarB.May 24, 200410It's the 1st "Nazi/Concentration Camp" movie that I actually finished watching. It also helped me see through the "read along" of foreign films. I now go to see that kind of film much more often. There were 4 of us in tears at the end of this wonderful movie and found ourselves talking about it 2 years later.

29Even if the antic futility of attempting to get an entire shtetl to pull together in the face of genocide is your idea of a day at the races, don't laugh too hard -- the out-of-nowhere ending will make you choke on every chuckle.

75More imaginative and responsible than the somewhat similar "Life Is Beautiful."

80Every bit as reverent as "Schindler's List," and no less successful.
