Life is no picnic for the Pazinskis. In 1950s Buffalo, Chet and Ellen live above their tavern with their four teenagers, each more mischievous than the next. Wise-cracking 12 year-old Rudy is working on his Ed Sullivan impression rather than studying the Catechism because he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion. Throw in a knuckle-busting nun, mood-swinging parents and a cupboard full of sugary cereals, and this riotously funny, warm-hearted comedy will leave you rolling in the aisles.

Steve's Take: Parents will recognize the hysterically funny situations of family life and Sister Clarissa will teach us all a little bit about growing up in that era. People of all ages and faiths will fall out of their seats with laughter at this charming and hilarious comedy.
