Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Technical assets are predictably sketchy, but the flick maintains a light tone and brisk pace, so that kinda evens things out. Rated: 3/5 Feb 12, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The WORST movie EVER made. Iatching it, fought the urge to blow up my television, and my roomate who forced me to watch it. 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 4.5/10. I was generally a little bored with this film. I did not find the characters appealing and found it hard to stay interested in the film. It's occasionally amusing, but there is not enough good dialogue to make the film worth watching. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member While I give this movie props for some funny scenes, overall it was a disappointment. I was bored halfway through the film and most of the acting was too over-the-top to be believable. At first, the joke of people taking Bar Mitzvah parties too seriously was fun, but it got old very quickly. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely fun, original topic. Tim Peper (ahem, D-E '99) and Judy Reyes deliver excellent performances. This film speaks to anyone who has ever rolled their eyes at a bar mitzvah emcee or an overexcited bar mitzvah parent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This could have been really funny. There are tons of jokes to be made at the expense of people who are exclusively Bar Mitzvah DJs/Emcees. Skip this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I had to stop it like almost halfway through, the previews made it seem funnier then it really was.
