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..

Nice little movie, but awful title
Don’t be misled by the title, which suggests a plot reminiscent of some awful reality show such as “Bridezillas” or “My Super Sweet Sixteen,” in which a pretentious family with more money than taste turns a family celebration into a vulgar carnival. The original title of this film was “Lucky 13;” whoever decided to change it did the movie a disservice. It’s really a sweet little story about a boy who tries to reconcile his embittered father with his paternal grandfather, who disappeared from his family’s life for many years and has only recently reappeared. This all takes place during the boy’s impending bar mitzvah, the preparations for which are mildly amusing. Garry Marshall’s especially entertaining, and touching, as the grandfather. Nothing’s really new here, and while the material may not have been enough to sustain a theatrical film, it’s a nice little time-waster if it shows up on TV. If you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” you’re likely to find this to your liking as well.
Very funny
I went to this movie not knowing what to expect. I in fact enjoyed it very much. It was hilarious. Even though it is about Jews you won’t have to be one to laugh. There were only a few jokes that you’d need a background to understand. The movie is about a boy about to have a bar mitzvah and his internal struggles he goes through. It deals with the fact that sometimes traditions start being done just to do them without a thought about why they are being done. This is true of ALL kinds of traditions – religious, cultural, etc. Keeping Up With the Steins deals touches on that and the kid’s father trying to out do his neighbors and prove he’s doing better than those who failed him in his life. The actors were pretty descent – I absolutely love the short scene with Adam Goldberg. Daryl Sabara did a great job too. He’s very adorable.
