Review of Putzel

Putzel (2012)
8/10
A charmer of a romantic comedy
5 March 2013
Putzel is a charming romantic comedy about a 30'ish boy/man (Jack Carpenter) who dreams of owning the family bagel and lox store in the upper west side of NYC. Problems arise when his wife wants a divorce, his uncle, who currently owns the store, wants to sell it to someone else and move to Arizona, and his fear of leaving his comfort zone by not being able to venture beyond the boundaries of his neighborhood.

Further complications arise when a 30'ish aspiring dancer (Melanie Lynskey--"Rose from the TV show "2 1/2 Men") enters his and his uncle's lives. Confusion, pathos, and many laughs follow in the best tradition of Woody Allen.
