Holy Rollers (2010)

Here is another very interesting movie that peeks inside a world most of us know little or nothing about. How does one go from being a student on track to be a Rabbi to being one of New York's top Ecstasy smugglers? Watch and find out.

There are funny bits and sexy bits. No kidding. There are absurd twists and very interesting characters. Jesse Eisenberg does a very good job of skating the edge between innocence and business savvy. Justin Bartha is over-the-top good as the out-of-control neighbor and mentor.

Ari Gaynor is smoking hot as the gangster moll here. And why not, she got her start as a recurring character on Sopranos.

All that said, this is not a compelling story and as with most drug-related gangster movies we all kinda know how it will end. We just don't know when or to what extent. In this case it's a satisfying end with characters one cares about.

Watch this movie with someone who thinks money is NOT the root of all evil.
