In Daniel Robbins’ Bad Shabbos, David (Jon Bass) arrives at the New York City apartment of his parents Richard (David Paymer) and Ellen (Kyra Sedgwick) with his fiancée Meg (Meghan Leathers), who is in the process of converting to Judaism and whose Catholic parents are joining them for Shabbat dinner. Family dynamics make for one very chaotic evening that deals with more than just religious observance divides.
Awards Buzz spoke with Leathers about growing up in the outskirts of Boston and not knowing much about Judaism ahead of making the film. Watch the video above to hear about her formidable, intimidating cast of hilarious costars.
Bad Shabbos is currently playing in select cities.
