    Esse filme me deprimiu. Tadinho do moleque, porra. Ele só queria um Bar Mitzvah legal, um pouco mais de atenção.

    Pretty good actually, I wasn't sure if it was going to be lame because of the synopsis from the back of the box, but I did actually enjoy it. Every little thing that happens to the poor kid just makes you laugh.

    I watched this because I adore any role that has Helena B.C. smoking like a chimney--this film is no exception, and poor Bernie's got the asthma to prove it! The ending made my heart melt. I thought this movie was sweet.

    Bernie is the 12 year old invisible child who thinks his Bar Mitzvah will finally provide him with some attention until he learns it will be totally overshadowed by a soccer game. Kinf of slow; good characters; interesting story. Worth a watch.

    I just saw the tragical - not the comical.

    A fun film boasting a great British cast . 12 year old Bernie is horrified to learn that his Bar Mitzvah will fall on the World Cup Final in the year 1966, when England was glued to their TV screens. Eddie Marsan and Helena Bonham Carter are terrific as Bernie's parents and there...( read more) is fine support from Peter Serafinowicz and Catherine Tate. As Bernie, Gregg Sulkin is very likeable and carries the film along nicely without being too annoying. An enjoyable comedy with lots of laughs and heart.
