Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!!

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 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.

OY VEY MY SON IS GAY recently had its world premier at the Montreal International Film Festival, opening to a little too enthusiastic audience. It is nothing more than a schmaltzy stereotypical Hollywood film about a New York Jewish family trying to accept their son who just came out of the closet.

Despite the lineup of famous names including Lanie Kazan, Vincent Pastore (Pussy from The Sopranos) and Carmen Electra (of Baywatch fame), OY VEY was badly acted and edited with a weak story line incorporating every ethnic cliché in the book and making this movie very painful to watch. And with its cast of shallow characters, this film fails to deliver any real message.

OY VEY opens up with a cartoon sketch introducing the characters and would have made a really cute film as an animation. It would have also been better suited for television and really should have been made into a play first in order to be adapted for the big screen.

OY VEY MY SON IS GAY was written, directed and produced by Evgeny Efineevsky, who has a few films under his belt from Israel, yet it seems like it could have been made by any film student.

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.
