</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">In that most
idealized period of 20th-century America, the
Eisenhower years of the 1950s,
the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo
apartment. The youngest of the bunch, 12-year-old Rudy is
a smart, wise-cracking kid who’s starting to question family values and the
Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding
Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop
around for a more “fun” religion, all hell breaks loose. A warm and
hilarious look at family growing up, and God.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
