Oh Vey My Son Is Gay!

As the title clearly gives the game away you’ll know already that this movie is about the angst of a Jewish family when they discover their only precious son is not going to be bring home a nice girl home soon. Or in fact any time in the future. Not exactly an earth shattering scenario, but potentially one that has the possibility of being the basis for a feel-good funny movie.  Or so I thought.  But I was so wrong.

 
This was without question THE very worse movie that I have had the misfortune to see for a very long time. Clichéd, grossly insulting, patronizing, extremely unfunny and it plays up all the excesses of  so many single Jewish and gay stereotype that have ever been. A embarrassingly awful script made much worse by the hysterical over-acting from the well-known cast that included the likes of Laine Kazan … and forgive the bad pun, but I never seen so much ham (ing) in a kosher movie.
 
I only have 3 questions to ask the Russian/Israeli Writer/Director/Producer Eugeny Afineevsky.  How did he persuade comic genius wordsmith Bruce Vlanch to act in it and spout such dreadful lines?  What on earth was Carmen Electra doing in the middle of all this  showing off her bare talents ?  Because I know nothing about Mr Afineevsky other what he boasts about in his online resume, it would be unfair to jump to the only conclusion that I could come to in answer of my third question ….why did you do it? I just can’t thinking that it was the work of a self-loathing gay man, because that’s exactly what it looked like from where I sat.
 
This film has no redeeming features at all, and is not worth viewing.  It is also not worth rating.
