Storyline

Twelve-year-old Max Glick (Noam Zylberman) wouldn't exactly call his life exciting. It's the 1960s, and he resides in an isolated Jewish community in Manitoba, Canada. But, with his upcoming bar mitzvah, things are about to get a lot more interesting -- especially when Max meets Rabbi Teitelbaum (Saul Rubinek). Fresh from Chicago and there to help the boy prepare for the ceremony, Teitelbaum proves to be an invigorating free spirit who helps Max discover his own path with humor and chutzpah.

Short Review

This movie is pretty bad. It's visually bland and the major players "eat the scenery". But there's a guy who plays a minor roll, that of Max's first rabbi, who's kinda believable. His name is Bill...something. Maybe it'll come to me later.
