Product Description
Having to spend Christmas apart was always going to be difficult for new boyfriends Nathan and Gunn. After all, Nathan has to spend the festive season with his distant, cold Mum and Dad and Gunn is going to have to go right back in the closet to survive the holidays with his wacky parents. But when Nathan surprises everyone by turning up unannounced on the doorstep Gunn is forced to juggle his desperate charade whilst curbing the couple s ever-growing desire to be in each other s arms. It soon becomes clear that he is going to have to make a tough call- come out of that Christmas closet or spend this vacation a virgin! A worldwide festival hit with a heart of gold and filled with bright, witty dialogue, Make The Yuletide Gay is one holiday treat you will want to savour many times over.

Format:DVD
This film is a thorough exercise in feel-good film-making and has such a warm charm that it's impossible not to get wrapped up in its good intentions. The film follows closeted gay guy Gunn who returns home to spend Christmas with his wacky family while his adorable boyfriend, Nathan, pays a visit to his stone-cold parents. When Nathan has finally had enough of his emotionally-bankrupt parents he decides to pay Gunn a visit, making it increasingly difficult for him to keep his sexuality a secret from his loved ones - cue farcical set-ups as Gunn desperately tries to maintain his 'straight' charade.
Whilst not the most taxing narrative, Make The Yuletide Gay is a genuinely lovable film, buoyed by the central performances which are thankfully free of the usual gay stereotype (no screaming queens here!). It's impossible not to be won over by this!

Finally a piece of gay cinema that caters for the festive season. This fabulous film will have you laughing, crying and smiling throughout. The film may not have the most in depth narrative but the characters are exceptionally believable thanks to the great acting talents of the cast. Gunn's bubbly mother and often stoned father make for great supporting acts who will have you in fits of laughter.
You'll find yourself laughing with the witty one liners and double entendre, crying with the pain Nathan feels over his parents and gunn and smiling with beautiful moments which make your heart feel warm.
This film spreads the joy of love and of Christmas and is truly one of the best pieces of gay cinema I own (and i own a lot). If this film doesn't make you feel great inside, nothing will.

A very enjoyable film with a happy ending. Not particularly challenging or thought provoking, though I guess it does illustrate that "coming out" is a process, not a single act.

Didnt make my yuletide gay
Rather a flat film just plobs along from start to finish. Really does lack something and never really seems to get going. Some parts are funny but not overly funny. Read more
