Keeping Up with the Steins (2006)

Cast: Jami Gertz (Joanne Fiedler), Daryl Hannah (Sacred Feather/Sandy), Garry Marshall (Irwin Fiedler), Jeremy Piven (Adam Fiedler), Doris Roberts (Rose Fiedler)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Keeping Up with the Steins page.

This movie wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. The cast was okay, but nothing spectacular. The story was okay, but not very well executed. Perhaps it'd be more interesting for me if I'd experienced similar things in my life. My husband seemed to enjoy parts of it more, since he's Jewish and did have to get up in front of everyone and read from the Torah. Of course, his parents aren't crazy like the ones in the movie, so I don't think he could relate to that any more than I could.

I'm definitely glad I didn't see Keeping Up with the Steins in a theatre, but it was worth renting and watching while doing something else. You definitely don't need to give it your full attention, but it's an okay movie.

Grade: C
