beats Rosie O'Donnel playing Golde on Fiddler on the Roof...

A. O. SCOTT pokes fun at Streep's attempt to come off as a Yiddishe Mama in her latest film, "Prime:"

Ms. Streep shows her fondness for Yiddish inflections and polite ethnic shtick. To which I can only say: Meryl, enough already! So you can say tuchis and nosh on some pastrami. Mazel tov! Jackie Mason you're not.

At least Streep has distant Sephardic Jewish roots...Although that doesn't really give her much more credibility since Sephardic Jews don't speak Yiddish...
