In NOT QUITE PARADISE, Rothwell (Todd Graff), Dave (Bernard Strother), and Mike (Sam Robards) join a kibbutz and discover that Jerusalem isn't what they expected as they learn about both themselves and Judaism. When Mike falls in love with an Israeli girl, Gila (Joanna Pacula), he must choose between a life with her and returning home. Adapted from the Paul Kember play, NOT QUITE PARADISE combines silly slapstick comedy with romance to tell the tale of a group of foreigners bumbling their way through a strange land. Director Lewis Gilbert gifts us with his knack for combining witty characters and faraway places, showing us Jerusalem from a variety of exotic angles. With it's light-hearted humor, NOT QUITE PARADISE will leave viewers laughing and yearning for a trip to a commune. [More]
