Glow Ropes: The Rise and Fall of a Bar Mitzvah Emcee

Glow Ropes was an extremely entertaining and enjoyable movie. Viewed in NYC, I along with other friends and a sold out crowd continually were laughing aloud, relating to the situations as we northeasteners experience and understand the bar mitzvah extravagance, and grooving in our chairs to well selected music! This is a movie for any age goer to enjoy from children to senior citizens. George Valencia's "acting" was more than acting having actually spent years as an emcee---you can definitely feel the energy and sincerity he eludes. A job well done by all involved I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a night of fun and laughter. Kudos to a young, professional and talented group who I am sure we will see much more from in the future.

I would say WOW! I did not know what to expect...my daughter was an extra in this movie and it was long ago in 2005. I was waiting for this movie to come out to see my child. That's all but I actually enjoyed a whole thing. We watched it as a family - good gathering! Good cast (I found few flows - rabbi at the beginning of the movie and the boy who played Ricky rich mom's boy. I thought they were bit too B list). Everyone else were just great and pleasant to watch. I would recommend it to you if you are looking for something different to watch on Friday night! I am still wondering it says based on true story...if this really had happened? It must had been a crazy...so much ado about nothing! I loved the end when the boy who filmed Tyler's story said 'it is not JUSt 13 y/old BDay - and he showed him a glow rope...I had teary eyes. Good stuff!

I didn't plan to write a comment. After I saw how low the rating it is, I am compelled to write a good comment for it.

I don't know how much money they spent on this movie. Of course, this is a low budget movie, it only has Dolby 2.0 sound. However, it is not as bad as some of the big budget movies. It is only better. It doesn't feel like a low budget movie, it is well done. Some of the montage scenes were really good.

I have never heard about Bar Mitzvah before, but this movie is not hard to understand culturally. Some of the scenes made me smile, there wasn't any big funny moments though.

One thing that I don't understand is that why that student interviewed Taylor James, what was the purpose of it?

Glow Ropes is an account of a young dancer whose personality and sex appeal win the hearts of the New York Jewish community that is planning outlandish parties for their teen-aged kids. This "mockumentary" is hilarious and witty, filmed with creativity and style. With no chance to get bored, while laughing out loud, the audience is drawn into the intricate relationships of all those involved in the dramatic planning of the world's greatest bar mitzvah. Anyone who found the humor in My Big Fat Greek Wedding right up their alley, will love Glow Ropes, as it touches upon the quirks of culture and lifestyle that all of us can relate to and laugh about. Check it out, you will regret it if you don't!!

My wife and I viewed the movie in NYC and loved it. The night was sold out, and we, along with the large crowd laughed a lot! The movie was well written, the actors/actresses did an amazing job and we were entertained from start to finish. My wife and I still use some of the punchlines today. The movie did an excellent job of connecting us with our genre and the comedy of that time. I addition, being from the northeast we could certainly relate to the premise of the movie.It is the second coming to my big fat Greek wedding. Outstanding Job! I would highly recommend this film to anyone. We look forward to additional work from the very talented writer, directors and actors/actresses.
