Peter Riegert has been bringing this movie, which he directed and co-wrote, from city to city to build word of mouth. It's worth seeing if it comes to your town, especially if you like character-driven comedy/drama. Eric Bogosian steals the film as Rabbi Fink, and there's plenty of other good performances from a great cast which includes Isabella Rosselini, Eli Wallach, Rita Moreno, and Beverly D'Angelo. The story itself is pretty low-key, about an advertising executive (Riegert) coming to grips with a variety of mid-life issues, all delivered with gentle humor. Based on the title story from Gerald Shapiros's collection, "Bad Jews and Other Stories".
