Is this the best movie.....NO! Is it corny and cheesy.....YES! Is it worth a watch? Yes. No only a decade ago would you ever get a movie with well known actors playing a normalised homossexual relationship and this needs to be acknowledged! For so many decades the christmas movie genre has been filled with heteronormal plot and actors and this is one of the Omg few movies where the plot isn't about coming out and drama but above love and families being family! Wanting the best for each other and being somewhat bland! I guess the only problem with this movie is that it's too mature and grown up and doesn't rely on shock to produce a story. If you like wholesome holiday movie this is the one for your!

Single All the Way is a 2021 Canadian Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Michael Mayer

'Single all the Way' is one of those films that this reviewer really wanted to like. The concept did appeal to me, as did the film's intentions, and as somebody who has a sister in a happy same sex marriage LGBTQ representation in film, television etc is always welcome by me and it is good to see it get more recognition. Regardless of those stating that its increasing inclusion in film etc is forced diversity, which is absolutely not agreed with personally. Was really prepared to like the film.

It was rather saddening to see that 'Single all the Way' didn't live up to full potential and was rather mediocre. Really appreciated what it was trying to do and its good intentions, but it should have been executed a lot better than it was. As far as Christmas films go, 'Single all the Way' is lightyears away from being one of the worst. But for me it was one of the bigger wastes of potential, especially when it was a concept that is so easy to resonate with.

There are good things in 'Single all the Way'. It looks good, slickly filmed and with charming scenery. The music has many moments where it is very infectious and it never feels at odds with what happens tonally and in placement.

Jennifer Coolidge and Kathy Najimy provide lots of zesty support, Coolidge in particular steals the film and it is a role that plays to her strengths.

Was however less taken with the two male leads. Both of them for my tastes came over as bland and their chemistry isn't there, so it was not easy at all to invest properly in what the film was trying to do. Didn't like how the characters in general were written, all of them (especially the gay ones) are written very stereotypically and in a way that is very exaggerated, too simple and over-generalised.

Furthermore, the script goes well overboard on the corn and cheese and the sentiment is also laid on too thick, everything about 'Single all the Way' screams unnecessarily over the top. The story is thin, over-silly and predictable, as well as feeling too manic at times in the pace.

Overall, really wanted to like it much more and am actually feeling very saddened that it didn't work. 4/10.
