Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay! (2010)

In the heart of the bustling real estate industry, 25-year-old Nelson Hirsch is grappling with a secret that threatens to turn his world upside down. Nelson is not only gay but also deeply in love with a man who doesn't share his Jewish heritage—charismatic Angelo Ferraro. Amid the clamor of their lives and an overbearing Jewish family, the two decide on a time-bound pact to reveal their relationship to their respective parents. However, the path to honesty is laden with comical misunderstandings. Nelson's parents, the domineering Martin and Shirley Hirsch, mistakenly assume that Nelson's new love interest is not Angelo, who they believe is just a decorator, but Sybil Williams—their vivacious Playboy neighbor. Their perception is further distorted by Shirley's selective hearing and denial, which struggle to reconcile with Nelson's relationship with a non-Jewish woman who isn't shy about shedding her clothes in public. When Nelson finally musters the courage to reveal the truth, Martin and Shirley are thrust into a whirlwind of emotions and preconceived notions about homosexuality. They grapple with fears about how their community, including Martin's macho boss Uncle Moisha and Shirley's relatives Max and Sophie, will react to the news. Meanwhile, the challenge of bridging the cultural divide with Angelo's Italian parents, Carmine and Terry Ferraro, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. Carmine and Terry, too, wrestle with their own issues and prejudices as they strive to accept Nelson and Angelo's relationship. The plot thickens when the couple decides to adopt a child, creating headlines and causing a stir. In the face of controversy, their families rally around them, leading to a heartwarming realization of unconditional love. "Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!" is a riotous romantic comedy that explores familial bonds, cultural clashes, and the power of acceptance. The journey of Nelson and Angelo is a testament to love's ability to transcend boundaries and challenge norms, leaving audiences chuckling, teary-eyed, and ultimately, deeply moved.
