Overview
Synopsis
Chris O’Connell, an Irish-Catholic who doesn’t know bupkis from being Jewish, wants to marry a Jewish girl so he’ll never have to make another decision. His friend, Adam Lipschitz, wants to marry one to please his family, but can’t get a date to save his life. Adam and Chris form a pact: Chris promises that he will help Adam find the yiddishe maidel of his dreams, but only if Adam will help Chris shed his gentile-ness. Stereotypes collide, cultures clash, chaos and laughter ensue, all adding up to a comedic chicken soup good for the soul whatever your age or religion.
