Review of Single All the Way (2021) by Adamendetail — 01 Jun 2022
The problem with - Single All the Way - is not that it is unlikable. It is a Christmas themed romantic comedy, and those things are by default supposed to be liked - plus, there's Jennifer Coolidge. Instead the problem is how superficial and shallow the movie is, more-so than your average rom-com. It's all just too fake and unrealistically perfect.
The movie is sweet, you get a few laughs here and there - and as most Christmas movies tend to be there's some feel-goodness involved. But the movie is just too shallow and superficial. It's full of stereotypes & clichés, and almost everything is trite. Not to mention that the main plot device that brings the protagonists together (i.e. meddling friends and family) is really not-okay at all, and very questionable.
All in all, it is just a movie: an average one at best. It is thoroughly passable and it struggles to be a decent romantic comedy at all. The fact that it is a gay rom-com is probably its only redeeming bit.
