The gay movie is full of cheap puns and cute jokes, which makes the film only more enjoyable.Īlthough a little dated, this romantic comedy is a cringe-worthy cutefest. Sven runs into Nathan leaving town, and the two chat about love and life, and Nathan returns back to the Gunnunderson’s, and on Christmas Day, Gunn has something he needs to tell his parents… Gunn’s parents try to set Gunn up with his high-school friend Abby (Hallee Hirsh), who unlike Gunn’s parents, easily sees through the whole façade.Īfter a week of Christmas frivolities and parties, Gunn and Nathan come to blows about Gunn’s choice to be dishonest to his parents, and not openly show his affection to Nathan, culminating in Nathan decision to go back home. Nathan is welcomed with open arms by Gunn’s over-the-top happy-go-lucky mother Anya (Kelly Keaton), and quirky, forgetful, pot-smoking professor father, Sven (Derek Long). This heart-warming film revolves around Olaf “Gunn” Gunnunderson (Keith Jordan), who heads home from college to spend Christmas with his parents, who are unaware that their son is gay, with Gunn changing his clothing and mannerisms to maintain his secret.Īfter his college roommate, and boyfriend, Nathan (Adamo Ruggiero) goes home only to find his parents are going on a cruise for Christmas, he travels across the country to surprise Gunn at his parents’ home, unaware Gunn isn’t out to his parents. It’s a simple film, with a simple (if not a little predictable) plot formula. Okay, so another gay movie that fits into the slightly tacky box, but I can’t help watching it every Christmas, or any time of the year, come to think of it. This film spawned four sequels, each as terrible as the last, but if you’re in the mood for a cringe-worthy tack-fest, take them into consideration.

A light-hearted romp that’ll make you chuckle.Īnother gay movie that fits into the “pure tack” category, this film is so bad it’s kind of good. It goes to show how quickly the attitudes of fixing up your son with a beautiful young woman can change when you find out he swings the other way.įirst the shock, thinking he just hasn’t found the right woman, and secondly, trying to fix him up with the first eligible male bachelor that walks along.
