Leave your thoughts about Single All the Way.
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerThe movie eventually settles into a more relaxed, warmer tone, as veteran TV writer Chad Hodge’s self-aware script acknowledges all the tropes — gay and holiday — while continuing to employ them effectively. |
| Screen RantFerdosa AbdiWith an underlying theme of love and acceptance, Single All The Way blossoms into a funny, delightful, and heartwarming romcom gift for all. |
| IndieWireJude DryThough the title may be the cleverest thing about this cookie cutter affair, it’s refreshing to see a gay family film that doesn’t use its characters’ sexuality for dramatic conflict. |
| Chicago TribuneNina MetzSingle All the Way cannot sustain itself on Urie’s considerable charms alone, but he’s been so underused since the days of “Ugly Betty” that it’s thrilling to see him in a starring role. If only it was a better one. |
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeThe supporting cast compensates with piquancy in the side dishes, but the main course is a flavorless misfire. |
| The GuardianBenjamin LeeIt’s pure mass market Christmas cookie cutter stuff that’s only made vaguely interesting in very short bursts because of its queerness. |
| User ReviewpkeyesWell done Netflix! A must see! An instant classic! The actors' performances were authentic and heartfelt. It felt like the cast was genuinely enjoying themselves and working collaboratively! Though Christmas movies can be cringe worthy, this one is not and you need to go see it. |
| User ReviewRogclefPerfect little rom com for Christmas - great cast, well written, beautifully shot. |
| User ReviewExceladeogunSingle all the way Cliché and predictable, but helluva entertaining and fun. The comedic parts are subtle and endearing. The casting was perfect. (I noticed there was also no antagonist, cute. |
| User ReviewJonathan_M_2A classic, feel good rom-com adjusted with LGBTQ+ audiences in mind. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s enjoyable and we’ll done. |
