The film is directed by Bryan Fogel and written by Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, and Nicollette Sheridan. PlotChristian O’Connell has met the girl of his dreams in Allison Marks. Unfortunately, Christian told Allison (who happens to be a rabbi’s daughter) that his name was Avi Rosenberg, and that he was Jewish—neither of which is true. Desperate to keep up the illusion, he turns to his childhood best friend, Adam Lipschitz, to teach him how to "act Jewish", but Adam has problems of his own, with a fiancée pushing him closer to a mental breakdown as their wedding approaches. With the best intentions, Adam and Christian attempt to help each other out, but things quickly get out of hand. Cast
