This movie was awful and I could barely get through it! The actors were bad and seemed as if they were just randomly picked up off the streets and asked to participate in a gay Christmas movie.I lived in San Francisco for 16 years and even in that very gay city there aren't gay guys trying to pick you up in every public bathroom that you enter, nor are there overly cheery gay guys with cheap, fake smiles dominating every college campus.The dialog was just as bad as the acting. The clueless, hippy-ish father was extremely unconvincing in his role, but in his defense he is very handsome.Don't waste your time on this movie!

Make the Yuletide Gay is a movie about Olaf, a proud gay-on-the-campus, who is afraid to come out to his eccentric family due to hearing many stories about good family relationships failing after a member came out of the closet. However, it appears that this Christmas, when his boyfriend Nathan joins Olaf's family festivity and his parents want desperately to pair him up with the pretty neighbour Abby, the truth will have to be told.I did not have high expectations for this movie, as the production appears fairly low and, at first sight, the acting seems b-class. I could not be more wrong, and once again it shows how so often great works are overlooked just because they are not made on high budget or weren't promoted or stars do not play in them. The script is cool, everyone of the main cast is really strong - actors have great chemistry among each other as well as with their own character - and you can feel their enjoyment of acting in this movie through the screen. The jokes are funny and I haven't laughed like this at a movie for a long time. Definitely worth seeing and more than once!

It took me a while to figure out what about this movie was bugging me. I loved the story, the dialog was fine, the actors were great. Finally, I realized I was watching a filmed play. Once I got the mindset that I was watching a play as opposed to a movie I enjoyed it twice as much.Have watched it three times. Love it!Not too sugary or predictable, I fell in love with his parents. I'm tired of watching movies where everyone looks like they just stepped out of a salon. This family was very "real". The trick is to get in a "I'm watching a play" mindset and you won't have that "This movie was just okay" attitude.

I enjoyed this movie. . . I was not perfect, but it was fun. . . It didn't preach hard about coming out. . . It seemed that the problems were that there was no communication from any of them. . . It had touches from old screw ball movies of the 1940's. . .Misunderstandings. . .Confused identities . .Anya the mother could have played off of the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers. . .I would love to see these characters in another movie. . .Perhaps, the lives of the two young lovers as a couple.
