Thirteen-year-old Ethan is supposed to be preparing for his bar mitzvah -- but despite his Jewish family, Ethan is convinced his spiritual calling is with the Catholic church, where he secretly finds solace under the guidance of Father Diaz (Carlos Ponce). Through the wisdom of an unconventional rabbi (Rachelle Lefevre), the love of his complicated father (Joshua Malina), and his first romance with a cowboy-boot-wearing girl who can put him in a headlock, Ethan must confront his lies and grief to discover that faith isn't about choosing sides--it's about honoring all the messy, beautiful pieces of who we are.

Mona M Mar 22 Charming, feel good movie that is entertaining and meaningful at the same time. A rarity in movies these days. See more Diana D Mar 22 The movie was super cute reminds me of are you there God it’s me Margaret. But different. Not that many people in the theater they did such a hype on. Facebook and Instagram, which is how I found it. Also, the actors and directors didn’t show for the after discussion See more susana Mar 21 Incredible movie ! I cried , i laughed , i reminisced ! Truly amazing film ! Its a must see ! See more Ted L @tlite 2d Smart dialogue and avoids the easy road of typical plot tropes- fun film that left me smiling and pondering life. Hilarious moments with a heartwarming story about a middle-school kid trying to make sense of school, religion, family, and girls. Lots of 80's John Hughes movie influences with a couple cheeky nods to his work in here. Ethan Bloom is a thoughtful, upbeat and original coming of age dra-medy. Fresh! See more Read all reviews
