      The Outside Chance of Maximilian Glick

      G 1988 1h 37m Comedy List
      Reviews 33% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score 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.

      Bill M 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/20 Full Review aaron s You've pictured the wrong Aaron Schwartz in the cast. - Aaron Schwartz Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A very appealing film! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I've had this on my shelf for probably ten years or more. I have reached for it probably twice, no more than three times. It is the type of movie you really want to love because the story line is noble and clean. Truly, there is nothing bad about the movie, but it doesn't compel you to grab it often. If you are looking for theatrics, action, or side-splitting comedy, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good, clean, humorous comedy you can watch with the whole family, this is it. It is a coming of age comedy surrounding a young Jewish kid from Canada. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
