David and boyfriend Khaled (Maximilian von Pufendorf and Omar El-Saeidi) are ready to shatter one of the last great taboos of middle-class German society: a same-sex marriage between a Jew and a Muslim. Having dated for two years and deeply in love, the time is ripe to tie the knot. Nothing could stand in their way it seems, except for their parents: David's overbearing mother (Maren Kroymann), and Khaled's homophobic father (Ramin Yazdani). On top of all this, an old acquaintance (Franziska Brandmeier) turns up out of the blue, claiming to be pregnant with David's baby. As the plot thickens, relationships are stretched to the breaking point by deceit, obfuscations and the struggles of the family business. (Atlanta Jewish Film Festival)

Family Commitments has a likeable cast and a universally engaging theme, and while it didn't quite grab me as a comedy, I can't deny the pervasive humour, sometimes even slight absurdity, inherent in the multi-cultural confrontation between Muslims, Jews and homosexuals. Much of the film is evocative of silly comedies in which the humour was derived from misunderstandings and a brisk plot, which this German film does not always succeeds in doing, but it’s still a one-off with the potential to entertain the viewer.
