best movie i've ever seen.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I love KEEPING UP WITH THE STEINS. It SO reminds me of my own family and what it was like when I had my Bar-Mitzvah, not that mine was as elaborate but the FAMILY dysfunction was told with sensitivity and humor and is very authentic for many Jewish families. I do think that the film has it's "niche" and that it's relatively weak box office was due to it being "too Jewish". Still, that's not my problem. The performances were terrific. It's very funny and yet it makes me tear up at the end too when the father and son have their heart-to-heart. I can't think of another film that covers this subject matter as well as this film does. Highly recommended.

Ah, how is it like to "keep up with the Steins"? The answer is that it is much like keeping up with the Joneses, except this competition is more Jewish. Well, if you call attempts at reading Hebrew "Jewish".The Fiedlers are trying to one-up the Steins post-Bar Mitzvah party. Their son doesn't much want it, but instead wants to see the grandfather he didn't know. Combine that with the fact that his dad doesn't like grandpa for an obvious reason leads to an interesting confrontation.There are a few funny things. Yes there is nudity, but not many people go for old man nudity in a pool. Also his cane is a nice addition because of its usefulness with annoying drivers.The downside is that is comes off like a quasi-false documentary. While that is nice, knowing the soon-to-be man's thoughts, it doesn't play out too much further.Overall, it had some entertainment value. "C+"

I cried, I laughed, I called people to tell them to see it. This is the most real portrayal of what it means to be a member of a family that I have ever seen. It is about growing up. It is about letting go of disappointment (including childhoods that didn't meet our expectations). It was called a shallow sitcom. Whoever said that must have had a sitcom life. I watched it on demand but I am going to buy it today. For Jewish people, it will really hit home (like old family videos), but for anyone else, it is all families. There is not a lost moment. Not a shallow minute. If it were a sitcom, I would record every episode. It makes me doubt other critiques. Give this movie a chance. It is better than therapy!

What bothers me about this movie is that it SHOULD have been better: there's real potential. The characters were enjoyable, the idea was good, the acting was excellent. But the whole things was very unconvincing. It was a common plot: a total idiot has a conversion and sees the light. But for that to work, it has to be at least a LITTLE convincing. In this case, the "conversion" was entirely off-screen, probably because they realized that it was just too extreme to make work on screen. Everything was all solved at the end, in a way that was too pat, too sudden and too simple. So it comes across like a long sitcom instead of a movie.
