Keeping Up with the Steins begins as gleeful satire, centering on a super-affluent Jewish family in Los Angeles determined to throw the quintessential bar mitzvah bash.
If the movie ultimately fails to match its promising first half-hour, it is still too good-natured to disregard.

As befits a film with paternal conflict at its core, Marshall's initially sharp but increasingly ineffectual direction illustrates....In Keeping Up With The Steins , Cheryl Hines' manic bar-mitzvah coordinator specializes in playing to her clients' hubris and competitiveness with hilariously over-the-top spectacles that involve renting out Dodger Stadium....Cheeky irreverence gives way to reverence and a regrettable desire to defang the comedy for the sake of making a nice family movie..... ...
