Editorial Review: Description: Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.

 Rating:  - Everything is IlluminatedWhat a great movie! The characters are funny and likeable. The story is so funny and human then takes an incredibly poignant turn. Rating:  - Disjointed And ForcedI found the film to be very disjointed. Before I inserted the disc into my player I read the description on the box and some online reviews. They make much of a young man's search for an old woman who knew his grandfather during the Holocaust sixty years ago. Then I started the movie, and I was confused by the use of hiphop music by Alex, the tour guide. Don't get me wrong. I like Dr. Dre and other rappers, and I like learning about the Holocaust. But Alex's shtick felt very forced. ... Read More Rating: - InspiringThis DVD is based on the book by JSF. This is a movie you will appreciate if you appreciate art and detail. It's not a summer blockbuster for sure. The movie carefully takes you through the story and you feel like you are walking alongside the characters. It's a great story and the actors do a great job in their roles. I recommend this movie especially if you have been to Eastern Europe for any length of time. Rating:  - Surprisingly goodEverything Is Illuminated was a surprise 2002 hit novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, which was a thinly veiled fictional account of his 1999 trip to Ukraine to research his Jewish roots during World War Two. The young author, only twenty-five at the book's release, elicits a widely divergent critical range of opinion- from hyperbolic praise by established hack writers like Joyce Carol Oates, to outright condemnation by young, unpublished hacks who resent his two book, half a million dollar publishing deal. ...

The first half of the movie, you will laugh uncontrollably at the cultural misunderstandings and crazy antics of the characters; then, the story morphs into a drama that grabs your heart and twists it like dough. I've never watched a movie that causes me to feel so many emotions in one sitting. And I was drawn into it within the first 3 minutes. Also, it is very, VERY quotable.
