“Sallah,” the most successful film in Israeli history, tells the story of new immigrant Sallah and his family, who are left in a shack in a government settlement camp near their promised apartment and are abandoned for months in this sharp, hilarious satire. The family patriarch makes comical attempts to earn money and get better housing. (Rated R, 110 minutes).

A desperate pot dealer blackmails a struggling stripper, teen runaway and his dorky neighbor into posing as his family in a trip across the border as a drug mule in “We’re the Millers.” (Rated R, 110 minutes).
