Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Holy Rollers is a 2010 film written by Antonio Macia, directed by Kevin Asch, and starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Bartha, Ari Graynor, Danny Abeckaser, Q-Tip, Mark Ivanir and Jason Fuchs.Shmuel "Sam" Gold (Eisenberg) is a mild-mannered 20-year-old Orthodox Jewish man who lives with his large family in Borough Park, Brooklyn. He works in his father's fabric store and studies to become a rabbi. His family hopes to arrange a marriage for him with Zeldy Lazar (Stella Keitel), but they are much poorer than the Lazars, and he worries he will be unable to provide for them.One day, Sam and his best friend Leon (Fuchs) accept a mysterious job offer from Leon's brother Yosef (Bartha) and his boss, Jackie (Abeckaser), an Israeli. Yosef sends them to Amsterdam, with instructions to wait for him. While there, the pair are given a briefcase, which Yosef says contains medicines, and are instructed to walk it through customs in New York. Back in New York, the pair discover the briefcase contains pure ecstasy. Leon wants nothing more to do with Yosef and the drugs, but Sam becomes attracted to the easy money, and starts getting deeper in the business.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All Jews Are Ashkenazi | |
| Holy Rollers / int_7f6a0b31 | comment |
All Jews Are Ashkenazi: The film features mainly Ashkenazi Jews since Borough Park has been a prime Ashkenazi settlement for about one century, but Jackie seems to avert the trope since he's visibly a Mizrahi Jew from Israel (the actor is anyway). | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Holy Rollers / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Sam's family wants him to marry Zeldy Lazar and Sam is onboard with it, although contact between Sam and Zeldy proves difficult with the both of them sitting on both opposite ends of a sofa. Then the Lazars turn down the offer, as they feel Sam cannot be trusted, and what follows proves them right. | |

| Holy Rollers / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: The film is inspired by actual events in the late nineties, when a bunch of Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. | |
