As Kevin Thomas wrote in his review of the film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1985-06-21-ca-11719-story.html\">for the L.A. Times<\/a>: &#8220;Writer-producer-director (and co-star) Amos Kollek&#8230; fails to develop Hagerty\u2019s predicament with either wit or credibility, only a plentitude of tedious complications. Hagerty, though game, comes off as a tiresome dimwit.&#8221; The primary novelty of the film is its Israeli setting, though there have since been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israel21c.org\/21-iconic-israeli-movies-that-you-must-watch\/\">many other worthier titles to check out<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An interesting glimpse of an Israeli kibbutz in the 1980s<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still-1024x658.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"411\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still-1024x658.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still-128x82.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still-768x493.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goodbye-New-York-Still.png 1505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo; feel free to skip this one.
