Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay! Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
hire-wang 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!
overthecounterart This is a film that differs from the rest. It sends a deep message but isn't in your face about it. It was an enjoyable film and kept me entertained, and i recommend it to everyone because no matter who you are I'm sure you will appreciate the overall message of it. The cast is what makes this film work, and the fact that it shows a different perspective on a particular situation is what had me hooked from the beginning. The Jewish parents in this film are definitely relatable and comical. When i first was asked to watch it I didn't really want to because it was a film about a Jewish gay man, but once i saw it I was happy i did because it wasn't in your face about those subjects, it was overall about a more deeper issue, which is the issue of acceptance and loving your family for who they are. It was delightfully handled and seems like it was made for an entire family to enjoy.
Sally Elias 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.
tonyw-21 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.
