Sold by charlestonbookhouse About this product Product Information While intending to bridge the gap between boyhood and manhood, bar mitzvahs can often more closely resemble extravagant sweet-sixteen parties than actual religious ceremonies. Energetic and fast-talking, Adam approaches his son Benjamin's bar mitzvah in the same way he deals with business, stopping at nothing to make his son's party more excessive than anything thrown by the competition.
Through Benjamin's voiceovers, we learn that he is not only against such an elaborate affair, but is terrified of having to master Hebrew in time for the ceremony. While Adam craves the limelight associated with such an event, Benjamin would rather not be the center of attention. Wise beyond his years, Benjamin decides to use the event as a means to reunite his father with his estranged grandfather, Irwin Garry Marshall.
Directed by Scott Marshall, the film, while sometimes predictable, benefits from a star-studded cast including Doris Roberts, Cheryl Hines, and Daryl Hannah and a well-written script. A coming-of-age story filled with Jewish humor, the film should appeal to viewers of all ages. Additional Product Features Film Country. Show More Show Less. Any Condition Any Condition.

Scott Marshall. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. In toney Brentwood, Benjamin Fiedler prepares for his bar mitzvah; trouble is, he understands neither its meaning nor the Hebrew, and his parents particularly his successful-agent father are planning the most lavish party possible.
Benjamin wants his dad to give him some space, so he gets an idea: to invite his grandfather, who left the family years ago and for whom Benjamin's dad has an intense dislike, to come two weeks early. Thanks in part to grandpa - and to the immediate family's love - Benjamin may have a shot at figuring out what it means to be a man. Something's not quite kosher. Rated PG for some crude language, nudity and brief drug references.
Did you know Edit. The Haftorah portion that his character chants in the movie was Sabara's actual Bar Mitzvah portion. Goofs When Benjamin is reading his Haftorah at his Bar Mitzvah, he fails to say the required prayer that precedes it.
Instead, he goes right into the Haftorah portion itself. Quotes Rose Fiedler : Shamu is Jewish? Crazy credits In the first set of end credits, Mark John Jefferies is listed as a cast member, but in the final comprehensive set, he is listed as Marc John Jeffries.

Well, if you call attempts at reading Hebrew "Jewish". Self uncredited Becky Stockton Kelly Colleen LaBaff Del Prete Blecha James Buckley Kauffman Charles Kelly Bill Taylor Stunts Scott Wilder Dotto Mark W. Garcia Tom Gleason Gleason Philip W.
