Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!!

I had an opportunity to see "Oy Vey! my son is gay" in Montreal,where this movie was world premiered. Absolytely fabulous!!! I just want to thank those who made this film and brought it to the big screen. It is truly clever and entertaining family comedy, I was watching it in a company of my teenager sons. My kids were talking about this film for the rest of the evening.I would definitely recommend go and watch it!

Forget the fact it was entertaining, it brings this important powerful

message to every one out there about unconditional love and acceptance. Very nicely done, was very much surprised with such an amazing cast for low budget film. I truly hope it ll be theatrically realized for more people watch and enjoy. Good luck!!!

I saw Oy Vey My Son Is Gay last week when I was visiting a friend in NYC. They were doing a screening of the film for amfAR.

After the cartoon intro, the actual film started off odd and very choppy. It was almost uncomfortable to even watch. As the film progressed, I had high hopes for the movie. A good cast and with so much going on in the gay community, a good chance to really talk about relevant subject matters through comedy.

I was disappointed on all levels. The film was simply embarrassing to watch. Instead of focusing on relevant subject matter it perpetuated obvious stereotypes of the GLBT community. I'm a proud parent of a gay child and I was offended that this was the best that they could come up with.

I'd highly recommend seeing something else. It was waste of an hour of my time. No good messages to walk away with. I doubt it will ever make it into a theater.

This movie really surprised me, It is definitely one of the best independent films i seen this year. I have to admit some of the dialog was cheese ball and sometimes the storyline feels like it was written for a different time. But the cast of this movie really makes this movie believable especially the parents played by Lainie Kazaan and Saul Rubinek.

The movie put simply is just funny. It has so many very awkward moments that make you cringe because you have been in that situation.

I related to this movie because I grew up in a very conservative family that valued there traditions. The family in this movie just reminds me so much of my family.

I would definitely recommend seeing Oy Vey! Cheers!

This had so much potential for being a moderately humorous, somewhat heart-warming movie. Even if it used recycled subplots from other ethnic comedies about families coming to terms with a son who announces he's gay and a son coping with their response to the news, with this cast, it could have at least achieved mediocrity. Mediocrity remained only an unrealized dream

I kept watching this with the hope that the cast would eventually come to the rescue, given the apparent absence of both a director and script, but about half-way through the movie I admitted defeat, cut my losses and hit the stop button.

There is nothing to like here and it is amazing to think this disaster was produced in the 21st century. Lainie Kazan seemed to struggle with the whole concept of being the stereotypical Jewish mother. When she repeatedly spat out "shiksa" or "mazel tov" she sounded like a southern Baptist speaking a foreign language and her self-absorbed inability to hear anything her son or husband said wasn't cute & comical. It was ham- fisted, poorly timed and sophomoric.

I actually felt sorry for Saul Rubinek. He sometimes had a glazed look as if he was aboard a sinking ship with no more lifeboats. His occasional displays of despair were probably less motivated by his character's son coming out than by the realization that he had signed onto this disastrous production.

If you have fond memories of the Bates Motel in Psycho, I think they used some of those old sets in this movie. The greatest expense in producing this film must have been for plywood.

This is a very poorly made film, one that is filled with all the Gay, Jewish and Italian stereotypes you can imagine. The acting is poor, with the actors delivering their lines like they are reading them from a teleprompter. There is no chemistry between the two actors portraying the gay son and his partner so that becomes unbelievable. Low budget doesn't always have to mean a poor production but it certainly does in this case! Just not worth watching at all.
