This movie is "entry level" for concerned families (about their LGBTQ+ children) who will be familiar and fearful of the stereotypes presented. The central characters are the parents struggling when they find out their son is queer. You won't learn much from them, but you'll also feel less alone.

Oy! You're son is Queer?
Oy Vey My Son is Gay
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.
Funny Stuff
This Movie was fun,well paced and sensitive. It touched on several serious issues with out drama and cliche . The movie has a very broad appeal with it's Jewish and Italian American Family theme. Lainie Kazan and Saul Rubinek were so very naturally funny. Jai Roderiguez and John Lloyd Young had a natural chemistry. There are some other memorable performances by Carmen Electra,Bruce Vilanche and the real surprise was Vincent Pastore as Jai Rodriguez's characters Dad. This is a fun ,lite movie.
