Synopsis

Can an independent, modern woman find love and happiness with a pickle salesman? Anything is possible--even romance--when Isabelle Grossman (Amy Irving) dares to open her heart and change her life by Crossing Delancey.

Grossman, an attractive, intelligent Jewish woman in her early 30s, has a good job and a nice apartment in New York's Upper West Side. But her Bubbie (grandmother) wants her to find a nice Jewish man and get married . . . so Grossman's Bubbie hires a matchmaker to find the perfect man for Grossman: a pickle salesman named Sam Posner (Peter Riegert) who lives in the more traditional neighborhood south of Delancey Street. Now, what seems to be a complete mismatch develops into a sweet romance as Posner patiently, kindly and thoughtfully woos the initially unwilling Grossman.

Based on the play by Susan Sandler.

Excellent Love & Romance Story!

I found this movie years after it was out ... a real classic now for me. The characters are genuine and very interesting. The music is a treat as well as I found myself singing to it, a montage of 80's music. The movie takes a few jabs at the narcissistic quirks of the artistic world and conflicting egos. There is a careful story plot around the conflict of "fame" versus "character" and Amy Irving's character slowly sees past the hype and notes the person. The matchmaker is hilarious and makes a good compliment to the Grandmother. I was disappointed to see that this was the only movie for Bubbie (Reizl Bozyk) because she really is the glue that keeps the story going. Peter Riegert makes an excellent pickle man! One movie I can watch over and over!
