Oy Vey My Son Is Gay! Is a wonderful film about love, family, and acceptance. The comedic film brings family and friends for great quality time with those who enjoy a good laugh while portraying the message of acceptance and family across. A son confesses to his parents about love for a man and hopes his family will accept the new relationship that has been built upon the two lovers. Other situations in the film are displayed, such as the relationship between the two lovers, perspective from both sides of the families, and learning to accept the situation at hand. This film is wonderful because the message will help others be more understanding about the topic at hand. Real life situations are played out in the film, whether people may relate to the film or not, majority of people know someone who may be going through the same experience.
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 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 saw the world premiere at the World Film Festival(FFM) in Montreal. The film is hilarious, and will appeal to a wide range of communities - gays, Jews (of course!), Italians (a surprise), mothers who lay awake at night worrying about their unmarried sons, etc. The film explores a sensitive issue with humour and passion. The acting is quite good, and the cinematography is colourful. I liked the pace of this film - it definitely does not plod along! Filmed in Seattle (of all places), the setting is quintessential NYC. I found the ending a bit strange and perhaps out of sync with the rest of the film. I definitely recommend this film, and hope it gets a commercial release.
