A Jewish couple (Lainie Kazan, Saul Rubinek) seeks enlightenment when their grown son (John Lloyd Young) reveals his homosexuality.

This movie was so abysmally bad that I could barely get through it. Unlike other bad movies on this list that are fun to hate-watch and provide your own commentary track to, this movie is offensively, not funnily, bad.

Some years ago, Oy Vey! might have seemed radical in its casual presentation; nowadays, are we really supposed to believe that one gay couple adopting a child would cause mass protests on the streets of New York?

A wonderful film that had me both laughing and crying and feeling everything in between. Definitely worth a watch!

This movie is highly predictable but I laughed so hard at certain scenes. Lanie is the real reason to see this movie!

Good intentions don't overcome bad writing and directing. Unbelievable, over the top stereotypes galore spouting cliques and fretting over issues that might have seemed ground-breaking in the 80's but not today.

Was kinda of funny at the beginning, but became 'nudnik' towards the end.
