rating: 4 QuoteMarla Sokoloff should be more famousQuote
This is another cute movie that stars the adorable Marla Sokoloff - it makes no sense to me why this actress isn't more famous.
The movie isn't brilliant, but it's sweet, realistic and funny. It has some great characters in it, good acting and let's Marla shine a little.
I'd recommend this if you're a fan or if you want to see a movie about a Jewish family and their interconnected relationships. November 10, 2008

"The Tollbooth"

Tender and Moving

Amos Lassen

I love films that appeal to the emotions and "The Tollbooth" is one of those. It has funny moments and a tender and moving story. Director Debra Kirschner could have filled this film with clichés but she manages to avoid them beautifully.
The story is of a young woman, a college senior who moves to Manhattan to make it as an artist and to find romance. She is close to her loving Jewish family and she struggles with feminism and her day job do that she can reach the goals of love and career. She is a bit immature and she just doesn't have all the answers she needs. Sarabeth Cohen (Marla Sokoloff) is amazing and she carries the role beautifully. Equally wonderful is Rob McElhenny as her boyfriend, Simon Stanton
Sarabeth's family seems to live for the Jewish holidays--they are traditionally non-Orthodox and there are wonderful family discussions. It is the family that carries the film. It is a look at modern Judaism and the gay synagogue makes an appearance which gives a vote for progressivism in religion.

I loved this movie! I could really connect to what was happening to the main character and the best was Idina Menzel (sister) and Tovah Feldshuh (Mom). Tovah plays that Mom that everyone can relate to. It's really a wonderful film! Very Funny! Loved it! August 29, 2008

The Tollbooth is one of those great movies that you can watch over and over again. It is touching to see this young woman come in to her own. Marla Sokoloff, Idina Menzel and Tovah Feldshuh are great! This is a must see! August 6, 2008
