Perhaps worst of all, Single All the Way completely wastes Jennifer Coolidge's significant talents...Most of the bad has to do with the relative lack of chemistry between Peter and his two romantic prospects...

"Single All the Way" is a smooth, fun and funny holiday rom-com that respects its characters and avoids making anyone a villain.

What Single All the Way ultimately does best is show us that a gay Christmas movie can be just as hackneyed as a straight one.

7.5/10

At just one hour and thirty-nine minutes, Single All the Way is harmless cheerful fun that normalizes happiness and acceptance, regardless of your gender or sexual preference, something I hope to see more of in the next few years.

Single All the Way isnt the kind of movie to watch for plot twistschances are, you can predict how it all ends already. It does, however, still feel refreshing to see a queer couple included in a holiday fairytale romance.

Sure, if I was to genuinely recommend an LGBT+ Christmas movie, Id say go for Happiest Season, but thisis OK enough too.

I love a cheesy hallmarky christmas movie, so this rating isnt based off any lack of quality in regards to that as we all know those usually have a lot of lovable flaws… but this movie, despite still being fun and enjoyable- is really unconvincing in the friends to lovers story. You really feel like "yeah these seem like two people who should be great friends, not romantically… they could be romantic, but it just doesnt seem like fireworks or that it was always meant to be if they were.." and i actually think the main character had much more chemistry with the date he ditches for his best friend.. i thought that even in just the trailer alone, and then that just was completely affirmed watching this movie.. as they said in the beginning of the movie itself, not every two gay guys who get along need to be dating…his best friend and him both see each other and care about each other and he fits in with his family and everything but like… yeah thats what best friends do…

Single All the Way is warm, cheerful, and genuinely funny. A feel-good, heartwarming holiday treat that’s impossible not to love!

Hands down our favorite new-age Christmas movie. We watch it every year and can't wait for a sequel (PLS?!) The acting is stellar and the story is heartwarming, funny and charming. A total gem.

Sweet movie and one of the only MLM christmas movies i enjoyed. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see if the two main characters would end up getting together. The supporting characters and the love triangle trope added to the excitement. Only issue is the acting could’ve been a tad better but the movie was still great!
