The competition heats up as a young man on the cusp of adulthood in Brentwood, CA, prepares for his upcoming bar mitzvah, and his father strives to outdo the gargantuan coming-of-age bash recently thrown by his number-one nemesis, in a
madcap tale of Hebrew rivalry from actor-turned-director
Scott Marshall.
Benjamin Fiedler (
Daryl Sabara) is about to become a man, though the prospect of reciting a language he doesn't even really know in front of a temple full of strangers is so daunting that it makes him wish he could just stay a boy and write the whole thing off. As if his personal peccadilloes weren't enough to rack
Benjamin's nerves, his father,
Adam (
Jeremy Piven), and mother,
Joanne (
Jami Gertz), are determined to send
Benjamin into the adult world in true style. Recently,
Adam's rival agent,
Arnie Stein (
Larry Miller), threw down the gauntlet for his own son's bar mitzvah by hosting a no-holds-barred bash that made New Year's Eve in Times Square look like cake-and-coffee day at the retirement community, and ultra-competitive
Adam is determined to prove that he can top that now-legendary party. When
Adam's aging, hippy-dippy father,
Irwin (
Garry Marshall), rolls into town in a broken-down RV with his dizzy young girlfriend,
Sandy (
Daryl Hannah), however, it appears as if all of his plans to out-class
Arnie Stein may have been for naught.
