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.

... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreI 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.
