keeping up with the steins

another cute movie. this one is about a boy about to be bar mitzvahed who begins a relationship with the grandfather who abandoned his father at a young age. there is some silly stuff in here about bar mitzvah planners and rival talent agents, but there is also some nice stuff about family and coming of age. Jeremy Piven plays a toned-down version of himself as Ari on Entourage, Jami Gertz pulls off a loving Jewish mother convincingly and Daryl Sabara is good as the bar mitzvah boy in question. Daryl Hannah is unfortunately predictable as a hippie who hooked up with grandpa, but it's still nice to see her.
