    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 11, 2007. While all Paskowitz family members were scheduled to attend, four brothers were stuck in New York, as bad weather in both New York and Toronto prevented them from getting on the plane.
    • Quotes
      • Dorian Paskowitz: My theory is: You don't get educated in Stanford. What you get in Stanford is knowledge. But education means wisdom. Wisdom you get from experience, living, people that you meet and in everyday kind of life. And this is what my children get a lot of.
