Beau Jest - Chicago-Jewish romantic comedy

Beau Jest – is a nice romantic comedy about the need for adult children to be true to their own feelings and goals vs. their desire to please their parents. The movie has a huge dose of Jewish and Chicago flavor, so it could easily branded as Chicago-Jewish romantic comedy. As a conclusion I don’t think it is a surprise that it shown only in one movie theater around the country – Wilmette Theatre (which located in a heavily Jewish North/North West suburbs of Chicago). So if you like Jewish Humor with a Chicago flavor – you are in for a treat, Beau Jest is right up your alley.

The plot of the movie is relatively simple:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Sarah Goldman, a lovely young school teacher in Chicago, wants to please her parents, she invents a boyfriend whom she believes will be the man of her mother's dreams. When her parents insist on meeting the man, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to pretend to be her "beau". The masquerade works flawlessly for a time and brings comic situations, but in the end, their lives are irrevocably changed.

BEAU JEST is the hilarious, heartwarming story about Sarah Goldman, a beautiful young school teacher from Chicago who is involved with Chris, a great guy with just one apparent flaw, he's not Jewish. Sarah tells her parents that she is no longer seeing Chris, but continues to date him in secret.To keep her mother from trying to fix her up with "nice Jewish boys," Sarah invents the perfect boyfriend and regales her parents with stories of the man of her mother’s dreams. Eventually they insist on meeting the man, and in desperation, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to play the part of her new beau. Unaware of the scope of the role he has taken on, Bob accompanies Sarah to dinner with her parents and her brother Joel. He quickly realizes that what he has gotten himself into is much more than he bargained for. It will take all of his charm, wit and improvisational skills to pull off the charade. But Bob rises to the occasion, and the antics that follow is only the beginning of a side-splitting tale that will have you rolling in the aisles, and wiping tears from your eyes at the same time.
