Key Performances:

  Emmanuelle Chriqui

Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Jan has a soft spot for Adam Sander in mensch-mode, laughing almost in spite of herself at all the tweaking of Israeli idiosyncracies. Chriqui (playing the Palestinian love object even tho she''s from a North African Jewish family) is a beautiful gem in a cast of good-natured good sports. Alas, Rich was having none of it!
