Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was George Valencia's directorial debut after years as an actual bar mitzvah emcee in NYC—Taylor's horror is drawn from real witnessed disasters.
The film captures peak 2000s 'MTV Cribs' era bar mitzvah excess, when families dropped six figures on parties for 13-year-olds who just wanted video games.
