To save face, Peter talks his best-friend/roommate, children’s book-author and “Task Rabbit” on-call handyman Nick ( Philemon Chambers) into traveling with him. Peter was planning on bringing a beau home, but SOMEone turned out to be married and to have never told his wife who his sidepiece was. Mom ( Kathy Najimy of “Sister Act”) goes by “Christmas Carol” all season long.ĭad ( Barry Bostwick) is such a tuned-out senior he’s never even heard of HGTV. Michael Urie stars as Peter, an LA casting director/producer of ad campaigns for razors and such, summoned home for the holidays, to East Bridge or Bridgeport, New Hampshire, where his family lives, runs a very PG-rated bar and celebrates the Dickens out of Christmas every December. But it has its moments and is perfectly PG in all the usual rom-com ways.īy that, I mean there’s a Britney dance and lip-sync scene, and Jennifer Coolidge shows up.
“Single A ll the Way” is a “Home for the Holidays” rom-com that’s “rom” enough, but entirely too safe to be anything other than Hallmark Channel fodder in the rom or com department.Ī gay romance that pulls a TV-PG rating? Jerry Falwell must be fuming…in Hell.Īside from “How far this country’s strolled down that Road to Tolerance” feeling, there isn’t much to this. So I guess this year’s gay Christmas rom-com doesn’t have Kristen Stewart in it?
