“Bad Shabbos” is one of the funniest, laugh-out-loud-est films since Mel Brooks picked up a camera. Period. If you don’t believe me, trust the folks who showed up at screenings at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival. They gave it the Audience Award, a prize based on the votes of attendees at every performance of every one of the 100-plus films accepted into the competition.
