- 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.

DVD Reviews of Keeping Up With the Steins
DVD Review: Don't waste your money - stupid, boring movie.
Summary: 1 Stars
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!
DVD Review: Rent it. Buy it.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Summary: 4 Stars
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.DVD Review: A cute family movie
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Description of Keeping Up With the Steins
All hilarity breaks loose in this heartwarming coming-of-age comedy when three generations collide in a crazy family reunion . . . and then begin to see that they are much more alike than they'd originally thought! Providing nonstop laughs In the tradition of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, KEEPING UP WITH THE STEINS stars Jeremy Piven (TV's ENTOURAGE), Jami Gertz (ALLY MCBEAL), Daryl Hannah (KILL BILL) and Garry Marshall (A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN). Also starring Doris Roberts (TV's EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND), Cheryl Hines (TV's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), and Larry Miller (THE PRINCESS DIARIES).While it barely registered a blip on the box-office radar, Keeping Up with the Steins is the kind of good-natured, above-average comedy that's guaranteed to thrive on DVD. It's the bloated economics of Hollywood (and the constant pressure of box-office performance) that forced this movie into undeserved obscurity; now viewers have a second chance to discover the heartfelt dilemma of Adam Fiedler (Jeremy Piven), a Hollywood agent who wants nothing more than to give his son Ben (Daryl Sabara, from the Spy Kids movies) the lavish bar mitzvah he rightly deserves. Trouble is, Adam's archrival and former business partner Arnie Stein (Larry Miller) has already thrown a spectacular bar mitzvah for his own son, and Adam's now feeling intense pressure (from only himself, of course) to keep up with the Steins. As Adam plans an epic scale bar mitzvah to end all bar mitzvahs, director Scott Marshall (nephew of Penny) makes good use of his comedic pedigree, casting his own father (veteran comedy director Garry Mashall) as Adam's estranged father Irwin, who's been living on an Indian reservation with his younger girlfriend Sacred Feather (Daryl Hannah, nicely cast). The younger Marshall also indulges plenty of one-liners and sight gags (not to mention the questionable inclusion of his father's bare backside), but with a likeable supporting cast including Jami Gertz and Doris Roberts, Keeping Up with the Steins stays warmly true to its family values, minus the ostentation that Adam originally thought was important. As comedies go it's hardly original, but it's a welcomed alternative to the frat-boy crudeness we've come to expect from Hollywood.--Jeff Shannon
