Topic: Adiel Stein


  
  Stolen Summer | The A.V. Club
Seizing the opportunity to get a dying boy into heaven, Stein takes a cue from Bruce Jenner and devises a Decathlon of physical "tests" for Weinberg, with a Communion wafer as the gold medal.
From the start, Stein's worries about hell are more precociously cute than real, and the urgency of his quest never frightens the beatific Weinberg, who just looks happy to have a friend.
Their scenes together are full of innocent exchanges about the hereafter—these kids are always saying the darndest things—but the actors never seem to address each other, as if their dialogue scenes were shot on separate days and spliced together in the editing room.

 Miami Hurricane - dvd review: Stolen Summer ***
The plot is centered on a young Catholic boy (played by Adiel Stein) who tries to get a Jewish boy (Mike Weinberg) into heaven.
Stein is just average in his role, totally overshadowed by his co-star, Weinberg.
Weinberg's character is younger than Stein's, and (for the purpose of drama) spiced with leukemia.

Best known as the winner of Project Greenlight, the contest sponsored by the Cambridge power duo that awarded a movie deal to the best screenplay, Pete Jones’s film has also been the subject of an HBO reality-TV show that chronicled the buffoonish melodramatics behind the filmmaking process.
The fruit of all this hoopla proves to be a hodge-podge of religious stereotypes centered on an eight-year-old Chicago boy (the wide-eyed Adiel Stein) who in the summer of ’76 grapples with the differences between Catholicism and Judaism.
His father (Aidan Quinn) is an Irish Catholic firefighter who believes in beer but not birth control — he’s got eight kids he can barely afford.

Thus is captured the essence of the typical Irish Catholic family of the 60's.
Pete (Adiel Stein), the fifth out of these eight kids, is an almost too cute second grader, whom we first meet as he is being warned by his teacher, a nun, to clean up his act over the summer break if he ever wants to get into heaven.
Pete takes this message to heart and discusses his concern with one of his older brothers.

When Peter says, "You should think about putting a cross in here," he replies, "I'll give that some thought." And his delivery is such that the exchange is twice as funny as it looks on paper.
And of course Adiel Stein as Peter: Here's a delightful young actor, very natural and honest.
I am curious to see what he grows up to be.

 Tonight - Stolen Summer
This simple but at times charming little movie had its well-intended origins in Project Greenlight, the hunt for new talent initiated by Academy Award-winning screenwriters Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
The little boys, played by Adiel Stein (Pete) and Mike Weinberg (Danny) are sweet enough, though they verge on the mechanical, with dialogue on the level of homespun television.
If Jones had set his screenplay among boys a little older than these, the movie might have been more satisfying intellectually, but as it is it is easily digested pabulum for film-goers disinclined to be made to think.
