"I do! I'm a FOMOsexual!"
Once Netflix's LGBTQ Christmas rom-com gets past its brazenly camp opening scenes and starts to concentrate on the core characters and their relationships (both romantic and familial), Single All The Way manages to combine the necessary Christmas movie genre schmaltzy elements with genuine emotion and heart very successfully. Whilst the actual storyline is very (deliberately?) familiar, the film is well-written, effectively performed and there are many good laugh-out-loud and feel-good moments along the way. Single All the Way brings its gay characters to the centre, giving visibility in the genre, yet still makes this a story for and about everyone in its heartwarming conclusion.
