24 Nights (A gay Christmas movie)
Archive: Gay Themed
Sometimes it is a tossup record my impressions while they?’re fresh or when I?’m less tired.
24 Nights is a better gay Christmas movie than Visions of Sugarplums. Very faint praise.
Jonathan, our hero has written a letter to Santa asking for the man of his dreams. Since he stipulates a Southern accent it isn?’t a big surprise that a boy from Arkansas shows up at the gay bookshop where Jonathan works. But the gift, Toby, is partnered to guy named Keith.
There are plenty of easy laughs in the first half-hour. Like many of the gay movies I?’ve been catching up on there?’s not much pacing or development. Keith?’s developing love for Jonathan isn?’t very convincing. Nor is Jonathan?’s realization he doesn?’t want Toby (I can think of plenty of reasons but I wouldn?’t have in my early 20s).
A Santa in a diner provides the expected romantic comedy conclusion.
As unconvincing as it was I had a mostly good time watching. Charles really got a kick out of it. And the actors were better than the direction.

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
Thanks, Richard
