Don't waste your money - stupid, boring movie.
Added 12/16/2009
Thought the subject matter would result in a funny movie - not the case. Stupid, strained humor. Turned it off after 45 minutes becasue I figured it would be more entertaining to watch paint dry.
Save your money - don't bother buying this movie!

Rent it. Buy it.

This is a brilliant film on every level; writing, direction, acting. I loved this film. I loved the performances of Jeremy Piven and Garry Marshall and everyone else in this ensemble cast. The story is marvelously crafted and deals with heartfelt themes; growing up, becoming a man, and love and reconciliation between fathers and sons. You will spend a good portion of the film laughing until you are crying and then shedding a tear or two as you feel the emotional upheaval that this story brings you through. Rent it. Watch it. Buy it. Watch it again and again.

Wow!! This is just so funny. I bought it, not really knowing what to expect, but wow. Great movie! I will watch it over and over again. It's one of Daryl Sabara's best.

FUNNY AS FUNNY CAN BE

OK so this is a cute little family film I watched it with my daughter, I mainly rented it because of Jeremy Piven. I had no idea that Bar Mitzas were that big of a deal being CHristan. Jamie Gertz proves she can do anything but comdey by far is her genera.

A cute family movie
Added 3/10/2009
Calling a movie nice, clean, and wholesome may be the death of Hollywood blockbusters, but then this movie is not exactly a blockbuster. Which is a good thing. This is a good heart-warming movie for the whole family. Some viewers may not be able to relate to the theme of a young man's Bar Mitzvah, but this is only the vehicle used to carry the story, and it makes for good comedy. I loved the scene where the young man is looking into the mirror, trying to reassure himself by repeating "Today I am a man. Today I am a man", and then brushing his teeth with a Sponge Bob tooth brush. Not exactly great theater, but great fun and lots of moments that make you laugh and smile.
This is how life is. We all look into the mirror from time to time and try to reassure ourselves. The story of the search for what is truly important in life is an old one, but one that needs re-telling each generation.
