Nice.
I take it that another of them is a pun on Jewish rye (bread)? So is it O.K. if I submit "Jew wry" as a play on Jewry? |

The spurned wife in the original The Heartbreak Kid is played by Jeannie Berlin.
In Safe, Carol White (Julianne Moore) develops multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), which is or was also known as 20th-century disease, because sufferers were effectively allergic to the 20th century. Maybe it’s known as 21st-century disease now.

NB:
Viridiana is a nun losing her faith who unwisely becomes a benefactor to a unruly gang of beggars.
Heard of Dick Barton, Special Agent?
Gabriel Oak loves Bathsheba Everdene constantly through assorted mishaps and many years in "Far From the Madding Crowd"
A "set" in the context I'd like you to consider is a collection of songs in performance. |

Yes, it is a play on Jewish rye (bread). I guess "Jew wry" is ok. |

Brilliant review, that one! It also works if you think about "set" as being "to place" in conjunction with the family name. |

Well, it would need to not have the apostrophe then.  Without the apostrophe it could also mean ready, and with or without it it could mean group/collection (of people, as well as songs); it's the word with the most meanings in English, so there are probably some other interpretations too. A small problem is that referring to them as Trapps is like referring to Robert De Niro as Niro, but to be honest I didn't think about that when I voted for it.  (And anyway I prefer that to pretending that vonTrapp is one word, as people so often do with DeNiro here.) |

It only came into my mind because I wasn't sure what you were punning on till I thought about the fact that rye bread is the kind of horrible thing that they eat in Eastern Europe and wondered whether Jewish people had adopted it: I'd never heard of Jewish rye as a phrase before. I'd stick with the bagels if I were you. I'll try to think of another film, but thanks to Woody Allen et al it may be rather 'generic', which wouldn't be a problem with this film if the MERPs followed precedent, not that they do of course. |

Hmmm. I wouldn't think so. It would only be a slight visual "play" [and barely recognizable at that, what with that errant extra 'w']. Most memorable puns tend to work phonetically, and anyone trying to pronounce the "word"/s aloud -- since it makes no sense visually, that would be the only recourse -- would be forced by you to get it/them wrong, since you specifically stipulate that you are "playing" on the word "Jewry."
