Single All the Way is now streaming on Netflix.Ĭhristopher Rosa is the entertainment editor at Glamour. I can’t wait to watch it every year-gay apparel donned, having fully learned the aforementioned “My Only Wish (This Year)” choreo. Last year gave us Happiest Season and The Christmas Setup, and this year Single All the Way joins the party.
Slowly but surely the queer holiday movie catalog is building. Behold, pop culture has finally blessed us with a Britney Gay. (The New York City one is still kicking, FYI, and I highly suggest going if you’re in town.) When Nick walked into Peter’s room and noticed that Christmas Carole had taken down all his Britney Spears posters, my heart fluttered.
The late, great West Hollywood gay bar Flaming Saddles is referenced. Jennifer Coolidge dresses up as Glinda the Good Witch for no discernible reason. At one point Kathy Najimy, with the most serious face, says, “Gay? I know gay,” and I’ll be thinking about that for the next 40 years. The puns included-“don your gay apparel,” “FOMO-sexual”-are cheeky without ever being cringey. That being said, this movie is also, gloriously, gay as hell. Every single person with eyeballs needs to watch Single All the Way and bask in the pure serotonin of Barry Bostwick asking if HGTV is a gay porn channel. And for all these reasons and more it deserves to be viewed by every household not just in America but on the planet. That movie, my friends, is Single All the Way. Only one movie that makes a subtle, perfect reference to Madonna’s 1990 concert documentary Truth or Dare. Only one movie in which Kathy Najimy demands to be called “Christmas Carole” by her family and buys bottles of wine by the shopping cart. There’s only one movie released in 2021 that features a synchronized dance to Britney Spears’s seminal Christmas classic “My Only Wish (This Year).” Only one movie that has Jennifer Coolidge wearing a leopard-print dress-under a leopard-print coat-directing a pageant called Jesus H. Because let me tell you: It’s the best damn picture I’ve seen all year. (Go see House of Gucci!) She’s not in the top five right now, which is egregious-as is the fact that Single All the Way, Netflix’s new gay holiday rom-com, isn’t in the running for best picture at all.
