DescriptionBeau Jest is a Jewish “meet the parents” with timeless, universal appeal. Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They’ve never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Cringle. She tells them she’s dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. What’s a girl to do? She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be “Dr. Steinberg”. Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation - which leads to classic fun, while mingling Jewish traditions with mistaken identity!
