Maximilian Glick is an ordinary Jewish kid in a 1950's small town in Manitoba, Canada. Unfortunately, he is also saddled with overbearing parents, who are intent on railroading his life to meet their expectations of him. The most obvious examples are giving him a piano when he really wanted a bike and pushing him to study for his Bar Mitzfah. Unfortunately, both paths get bumpy when he is partnered with a Christian girl for duo piano playing. His prejudiced parents forbid Max to see her, and his rabbi is killed in an accident. That leads to the appointment of Rabbi Teitelman, an orthodox jew with a unorthodox fun loving look on life. Together, the two must find a way to fulfill their dreams and their own identities in a world that seems dead set against them doing that.

| User ReviewDarin WI've had this on my shelf for probably ten years or more. I have reached for it probably twice, no more than three times. It is the type of movie you really want to love because the story line is noble and clean. Truly, there is nothing bad about the movie, but it doesn't compel you to grab it often. If you are looking for theatrics, action, or side-splitting comedy, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good, clean, humorous comedy you can watch with the whole family, this is it. It is a coming of age comedy surrounding a young Jewish kid from Canada. |
