Benjamin Fiedler is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah. Trouble is, he understands neither its meaning nor the Hebrew, and his parents (particularly his successful-agent father, played deftly by Jeremy Piven and Jami Gertz) are planning the most lavish party possible. Benjamin wants his dad to give him some space, so he gets an idea: to invite the grandfather he's never met, who left the family years ago and for whom Benjamin's dad has an intense dislike. Thanks in part to grandpa, Benjamin may have a shot at figuring out what it means to be Bar Mitzvah and a man.
