Moshe Yehuda (Jos Laniado), a Hasidic Rabbi and amateur Hora dancer, enters a big televised Tango competition to save his Hebrew school from bankruptcy. There is only one problem: due to his orthodox religious beliefs, he is not allowed to touch a woman! At odds with his wife and five kids, the Grand Rabbi of his orthodox sect, and Moshe's entire Hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Moshe is forced to ask a Catholic priest, a Muslim imam, and a Sikh holy man for advice. Together, they hash out a plan to help Moshe dance in the Tango contest "without sacrificing his sacred beliefs, setting in motion a fun, passionate dance movie. Heart-pumping and heartwarming, "TANGO SHALOM" tests the bonds of family and community, and the bounds of tolerance and faith.

This faith-based comedy has a good heart with its lively, sometimes funny look at a man from an interesting culture that's not often seen in movies.

With not enough dancing and too many bad jokes, Tango Shalom is filled with cringeworthy acting and shallow clichés about religions and ethnicities. This movie about a tango contest ultimately devalues the dance rehearsals.

Tango Shalom is silly interfaith fun, if heavy on the schmaltz.

Loved it. Especially now; cultural insight leads to tolerance and appreciation. Got to explore a couple new worlds—Orthodox Judaism and Tango—and had lots of laughs along the way. Well done, cast and crew!

A bit of an uneven start but the movie really picks up with genuinely funny scenes, a compelling story, and an unexpected but satisfying ending. Very much worth watching, and Lainie Kazan is low-key hilarious.

I loved Tango Shalom! This movie was so refreshing and just really made me root for them by the end. I think everyone should see this because it is so positive and it's the kind of movie you can watch again, especially once the dancing starts you really want to see them get their dream!

In addition to being a fun family comedy, it had real depth and dealt with religion and faith with great respect.
