Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay! (2010)

hyped garbage

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Just recently saw the movie in Atlanta, it was amazing!!! it nice to see a movie that can relate to today's families, and not another typical gay movies were sexual encounter goes over the top.This is a great movie to see with anyone, family, friends, gay or straight, it's very funny but at the same time it clearly pass the message to everyone who's watching of acceptance and love. Am very pleased with this movie and hope it makes it to the theaters nationwide so everyone can really enjoy it. Great work by the cast and Excellent JOB to the Director of the movie. Wish the best!I highly recommended for people to go and watch it if is coming near you, it will be worth it.

I caught this film at the Montreal Film Festival and absolutely loved the film. The writers did a great job of blending serious subject matters with humor seamlessly.The film's cast couldn't have been chosen more perfectly. Lainie Kazan and Saul Rubinek were really great together.The film made me laugh at times and cry at others. If you can imagine blending My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Mambo Italiano, you have Oy Vey...The music to the film was great as well. All around a good film.

I watched this movie last week and its an excellent attempt on a Jewish/gay comedy.. love all the actors, the performances are superb. the message of the movie is very current, hopefully its going to change a couple of hearts at least. So good to see such a good script to come to life, great job. watching it made me realize how things are changing, and movies like this one are becoming mainstream, which was unheard of just a decade ago. what a progress, and even if prop 8 passed, those are the signs that the times of discrimination are slowly becoming the past and equality and normality are very close. watch the movie and experience how extraordinary circumstances become normal.

I also saw OY VEY MY SON IS GAY in Montreal and was very disappointed. Full of clichés, both Jewish and gay, it was hard to believe that families would behave the way they did in today's western world. Maybe in the 70s. The acting was over the top; mugging to the cameras; gratuitous use of Carmen Electra's physical charms. The cast of characters were all stock: Jewish parents, relatives both pro- and anti-gay, opposite types as male lovers, siblings who understand but stay silent. The list could go on. One could have predicted the denouement of the movie after 10 minutes. I don't recommend this film unless you are amused by trashy, Hollywood-type entertainment masquerading as an independent movie.
