Keeping Up With the Steins isn't a bad film -- it just devolves into the limp sort of schmaltzy conclusion you keep hoping it will avoid.

Excellent casting lifts this sitcomlike script.

It's not meant to be uproarious. But even as comfort food, Steins can't keep up.

By the time the Fiedlers are getting serious about their arguments and their hugs, we've grown to like them.

A winningly sincere and warmly humorous film about an ancient Jewish milestone in the time of Martha Stewart.

Had Scott Marshall and screenwriter Mark Zakarin honed their knives sharper, they could have made genuine mirth out of this.

Jul 14, 2011Keeping Up with the Steins is about trip to his bar mitzvah party with his dysfunctional family in one house. Good plot and good acting most of the time Its kind of a cult, spoof and comedy mix into to one. This film is making fun of how too many Jewish families see a bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah not as a coming of age for their son or daughter, but rather as an excuse to throw outrageously lavish parties. It had one good song at the very end. Cons Lacking acting sometimes Lacking good music some times. Weirderika b Super Reviewer

Apr 30, 2009A very nice family film but nothing especial about the film. It's just okay, nothing especial. Funny at times though. The story deserves half a star. Very unique. If you want to watch a movie in father's day this is the one. The whole movie is about fatherhood. The best parts of the movie were the "realization" part, the bar mitzvah scene. People will learn something from this movie. A good family film.Lemuel M Super Reviewer
