Avis à la une
Worth watching simply to see how far public attitudes have (or in some cases, haven't) changed regarding gay marriage and adoption. It's not a very good movie, although its heart is in the right place. The performances are good-natured and you can predict the happy outcomes. Suspend disbelief as the family is shocked to discover Bruce Vilanch is gay. To me, the oddest thing is the casting of John Lloyd Young as the gay son. At the time, Young was hot off his Tony winning role in Jersey Boys. He doesn't sing in this movie and the relationship with his boyfriend is tepid at best with a few kisses on the cheek. Both actors seem far too old for their stereotypical coming out roles. If the title makes you laugh, then you'll enjoy the movie.
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.
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 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.

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!

- AnecdotesFilming started the day before Thanksgiving, making those working on the film unable to return home for the holiday, so the cast and crew had Thanksgiving dinner in the home where the interiors were shot.
- GaffesThere's much discussion about being in the Jacuzzi, but the tub Sybil gets into is a claw-foot tub that clearly has no whirlpool feature.
