When Mordecai, a Holocaust survivor, portrayed by Academy Award Nominee Judd Hirsch (The Fabelmans, Ordinary People) is given a new iPhone, an unexpected series of events upends his world. A heartwarming Miami-set comedy based on a true story.
Q-tips say: We enjoyed it. The movie demonstrates that there’s life and even humor after unspeakable tragedy and that life can keep on giving for those who are up for enjoying the ride.
Judd Hirsch goes full shtick in a sweet but mawkishly sentimental tribute to heritage and family. Mordecai adds a hefty serving of schmaltz with labored subplots that dilute the narrative.
