What happens

Keeping Up with the Steins is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Scott Marshall, written by Mark Zakarin, and starring Garry Marshall, Jeremy Piven, Jami Gertz and Daryl Hannah. The film is a commentary on how too many Jewish families see a bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah not as a coming of age for their son or daughter, but rather as an excuse to throw outrageously lavish parties which end in drama.
