About film

Two middle-aged friends go on a double date in one of the episodes of a Canadian sitcom YidLife Crisis and meet with a cunning and witty Jewish dream-girl played by Mayim Bialik (appeared in Woody Allen’s Don’t Drink the Water and is also known for her role in The Big Bang Theory). After an explosive, rash and hilarious dialogue (Aaron Sorkin-style, think of the beginning of The Social Network), the two men will, of course, be left alone and with nothing.
