Single All the Way	comment	Single All the Way is a 2021 Netflix Christmas movie, and notable for being their first holiday romcom to feature a gay main couple.Peter (Michael Urie) is a social media manager from Los Angeles who's dreading being the only single member of his family when he goes back home for Christmas, especially since his family has a general lack of boundaries and a great propensity for shipping. He convinces his best friend and roommate Nick (Philemon Chambers) to come with him and pretend to be his boyfriend, since his family already thinks they should be together.When they arrive, his mother (Kathy Najimy) surprises Peter first with a blind date with James (Luke Macfarlane), seemingly the only other gay man in town. Nick is happy to stay and help out around the house, but when the rest of Peter's family realizes the connection between the two friends they — especially the nieces (Alexandra Beaton and Madison Brydges) — decide to push them together instead, using tropes pulled right out of a fanfic playbook.Starring Barry Bostwick, Jennifer Coolidge.

Single All the Way / int_143939c1	comment	Trailers Always Spoil: An odd example. The trailer seems to be setting up a Fake Relationship premise, but halfway through the dialogue between everyone indicates that this plot is dropped pretty soon in the film proper.

Single All the Way / int_1777688d	comment	Genre Savvy: Nieces Daniela and Sofia catch on very quickly that Peter and Nick are leads in a holiday romcom and are a better match for each other than Peter and James. They get the rest of the family involved, calling their mother while the men are on a date at her pub so she try to ruin their date, and even fall asleep in Peter's bed so he's forced to bunk with Nick for the night.

He spends a little to fly to New Hampshire with Peter, but the rest he says is being saved for a rainy day. He ends up using it to purchase a store in town and pay the first six month's rent so that Peter can start his dream of running a plant shop.

Single All the Way / int_31da1e24	comment	Shipper on Deck: Peter's nieces aggressively ship him with Nick. His dad does too, and has for a while. Eventually they bring the whole family in on it. The only exception is his mom, and that's only because she'd been one for the past several years and was trying not to assume that the two would end up together. While she initially chides the family for doing the same, she relents and is overjoyed when she realizes that they really do belong together.

Of course since the nieces are playing The Matchmaker, they use this to their advantage.

When it's suggested that Peter and Nick help Sandy with the Christmas pageant, Peter's mother Carole says it's a negative stereotype to assume they could because they're gay. Lisa says it's because Peter does photography and Nick is a handyman.

She likes gay men because they "know how to do stuff" and, "for some reason," tend to love her. Given that her whole vibe is that of an aging Drag Queen who just happens to be female, it makes sense.

Just before he's about to enact the fake-dating scheme he concocted with Nick, Carole apologizes for constantly saying they should get together because she understands she was just stereotyping them, and that she found someone else for Peter to go on a blind date with.
