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

Customer Reviews of Keeping Up with the Steins

Less really is more!
As a parent who is in the midst of planning a bat mitzvah and frustraited with those who plan gala extravaganzas this was a perfect movie for us. I found it compassionate, funny, poingant, and full of messages about what a families real priorites can and should be. Kudos to the director for putting in his dad (Gary Marshall) as the grand dad. He was wonderful and this movie touched everyone in my brood. I have passed this movie on to many of my friends who really enjoyed it, whether they were Jewish or not.


You're a boy...you're a man...its all so confusing
As a fan of the spy kids movies because of Daryl Sabara's dead on performance as a fun loving boy who just happened to also be a spy, I felt I owed it to Daryl to see Keeping up With the Steins. This movie went so far beyond my expectations it was unbelievable. It oozed of indie doings rather than the ridiculously adolescent Hollywood humor and is by far the best coming of age comedy drama since Saint Ralph. Daryl is perfect as a boy on the road to confusing times of bar mitzvahs and expected manhood at 13 when he hasn't even reached his own self imposed milestone of being 5 feet tall by the time of the opening phrase of the bar mitzvah ceremony is uttered by the rabbi. He finds that maturity has a whole lot more to do with accepting life's unimportant and insignificant limitations than trying to rebel against them. He also learns that the most important thing is family and not trying to artificially be any better than what you really are. The rest of the cast is exceptional, in particular Jeremy Piven as the 'best bar mitzvah at any cost' dad, Garry marshall as the wisecracking hippie grandpa and Larry Miller as the 'Stein' to keep up with. The laughs are unstoppable and the story is a wonder to watch unfold.My only wish is that there were more for Doris Roberts to do in the movie. Other than that, its a perfect coming of age drama that is worthy of a watch...or two...or three...


Humor With a Good Message
I stumbled on to this movie and it is a very good one. In many ways it is like an inside joke as it protrays the Jewish Culture but the story and messages are really broader than that. It borders on satire as it shows Beverly Hills/Brentwood in Calif with all of the joggers, pretension, and trivial value system that is so prevalent there, but beneath this veneer is a heart warming and rather realistic story of a family. It vividly demonstrates that money can buy anything but something of value and the most valuable thing is family. He shows that marriages are complex things and only those two in the marriage really understand it and those on the outside shouldn't make judgements regarding someone else's marriage. This was a story of regrets, mistakes, and foregiveness and shows it is never too late to say "I'm sorry". The interplay between the grandparents was marvelous and could have added a great deal more to the movie had it been expanded. The son's inability to forgive was very believable and even his grudging acceptance at the end was believable. This was a marvelous movie that delivered several very good messages with a light and humorous touch. Very well done and if you are looking for a good family movie this is one. It has a couple of brief tushy shots but nothing to keep it from family viewing.
