Bloomington, Minnesota, 1967: Jewish physics lecturer Larry Gopnik is a
serious and a very put-upon man. His daughter is stealing from him to save
up for a nose job,his pot-head son,who gets stoned at his own
bar-mitzvah,only wants him round to fix the T.V. aerial and his useless
brother Arthur is an unwelcome house guest. But both Arthur and Larry get
turfed out into a motel when Larry's wife Judy,who wants a divorce, moves
her lover,Sy, into the house and even after Sy's death in a car crash they
are still there. With lawyers' bills mounting for his divorce, Arthur's
criminal court appearances and a land feud with a neighbour Larry is
tempted to take the bribe offered by a Korean student to give him an
illegal exam pass mark. And the rabbis he visits for advice only dole out
platitudes.Still God moves in mysterious - and not always pleasant -
ways,as Larry and his family will find out.
The suburban Jewish Professor Lawrence 'Larry' Gopnik is facing many
problems is his life: his wife has just asked the divorce; one Korean
student has tried to bribe him to improve his grade; he crashed his car on
the road; his next door neighbor has trespassed his lawn; his sick brother
moved to his house disturbing his family. Larry unsuccessfully seeks the
rabbis of his community to get answers to his problems.
