The movie was very cute. Kollek shows his view of Israel, and adds some very nice touches. Although the premise is somewhat unbelievable, it makes a fun movie.
One of the cutest bits, perhaps, is the scene where the main character has just had her clothes stolen, and she tells a passerby about her difficulties, only to have him suggest that she "tell it to the mayor." The passerby is (then) Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kollek.
Other highlights include the banana-eating contest, and some real bites of Israeli life. The experiences shown in the movie are very true-to-life, and the other commentator, who claimed that it was a propaganda film, has obviously never been an American woman in Israel.
