Bernie Reuben (Gregg Sulkin) is ignored and picked on. He is "not very good at breathing." His father Manny (Eddie Marsan) is not very assertive and is an embarrassment. Bernie recalls the wonderful Bar Mitzvah his brother had and relishes the day when he has his celebration, a day that will belong to him. As that day approaches, his family undergoes various hardships, downsizing his celebration. To make matters worse, his bar mitzvah is scheduled the same day as the World Cup Final, July 30, 1966. Bernie realizes as his native England is in the tournament, they need to lose for him to have a large turnout.
The film is a comedy-drama. Some of the jokes are quick visuals such as a card that reads "Kimmel Kosher Katering." The soundtrack include tunes from the era.
No f-bombs, brief implied sex, male rear nudity.
