I Like Killing Flies (2004)

Released July 28, 2006, in the US.
Filmed in New York City.
The story: Shopsins is a little old, family-owned and run restaurant in New York City's Greenwich Village.
The menu is packed full of quirky titled and equally unique items, all homemade by its owner and his close friend.
We get to hear all about what the business means to the owner and his take on many different issues. We also get to hear from his wife and many kids who can also be seen on a daily at the eatery, eating and/or working.
A couple very important issues the owner touches base on are the fact that he sees himself as a 'fat, old, nasty Jew cooking you meals'....and he really likes killing flies.
Shopsins has just a couple rules, so if you plan on checking this place out first hand...make sure to read the rules before entering and behave yourself if you indeed get in!
