Keeping up with the Steins is a comedy about a Jewish boy preparing for his bar mitzvah. "In our tribe you have to stand up in front of a bunch of people and give a speech in this really hard language called Hebrew."
The film escapes any charges of anti-Semitism because it was produced, directed by, and stars primarily Jewish people. Its satirical opening scene shows an ultra-lavish bar mitzvah party with the boy stealing a kiss from a model on a moving mockup of the Titanic hitting an iceberg. The boy's father staged the party to impress clients and has a non-Jewish trophy wife who cannot distinguish between nachos (the snack food) and nachas.[1]
