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]] (NAH - CHOSE) (the snack food) and [[nachas]]. (NAH - CUSS) <ref>''Nachas'' is [[Yiddish]] for joy or blessings, pride especially for ones children or grandchildren [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nachas Urban Dictionary] </ref>

The film is set in the Brentwood section of [[Los Angeles]], where "it doesn't matter what happens in the [[temple]]. It's the party that counts." (Benji's dad, Adam)
