5/5 Fun and Festive Holiday Film
  by A. Keaton
This is an enjoyable film with a great "twist" at the end. It is well cast with endearing characters. Would love to see a sequel next year!

5/5 A Very Sweet Love Story
  by Charles W. Brown (Chicago, IL USA)
Now I own all of Rob Williams's movies and he has never let me down in his movies. This was a 5 star movie. I would like to see next year part 2 with all the same actors and actess's back.

4/5 Sweet and endearing
  by groomRN (Illinois USA)
Ok, not the best movie I've ever seen. A little corny, a little over the top acting, script that is a little banal. That being said, it's a very sweet story, and the characters are very likeable and endearing. By the end of the movie I found that I cared about the people in the story and wanted everything to work out well for them. The ending was satisfying, and I finished the movie feeling glad that I'd watched it.

5/5 Great Holiday Movie
  by P. Marasco (Maryland)
This is a great movie! I was able to catch it during DC's Reel Affirmations and I laughed my back side off thru the movie, well except for one scene where I was crying like a school girl. The movie is very straight friendly which is nice as I can recommend the movie to many of my friends. The music is incrediable. Big bear hugz to the cast, crew, writers and everyone else who was a part of the movie!!

5/5 Sweet, engaging film could become a gay holiday classic!
  by Bob Lind (Phoenix, AZ United States)
The college dorm's resident "out and proud" gay couple, Olaf ("Gunn") and Nathan, are going home to spend Christmas with their respective families, and those families couldn't be more different. Whereas "trust fund baby" Nathan's parents are rather cold, status-seeking yuppies, Olaf's parents are a couple of former hippies who start decorating their home for the holidays months before. When Nathan's parents stand him up to go on a holiday cruise, he decides to surprise Olaf by joining him at his parents, only to find out that his parents have no clue that he is gay. Nathan immediately tries to "butch it up" a bit, but is disappointed and hurt that Olaf is unable - more like unwilling - to introduce him as his boyfriend.

A sweet and engaging, though somewhat corny, story about honesty, self-acceptance and - ultimately - the meaning of love. Newcomer Keith Jordan does a first-rate job as the emotionally conflicted Olaf, and is surrounded by an excellent cast of veteran character actors, including Derek Long ("3-Day Weekend" and several other gay films) as Olaf's stoner dad, actress/voiceover artist Kelly Keaton as his jolly mother, Hallee Hirsh (who played Dr. Greene's daughter on "ER") as Olaf's supposed girlfriend Abby, Alison Arngrin (best know as Nellie Olsen on "Little House on the Prairie") as Abby's mom, Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher on "Star Trek: TNG") as Nathan's mom, and Adamo Ruggiero (Marco for five seasons on "Degrassi: The Next Generation") as Nathan. The direction and technical aspects seem flawless, and there are even a half dozen or so original songs on the soundtrack. DVD isn't rated, but would likely be PG; definitely a film you could (and should) share with your parents and younger siblings. Popular at several gay film festivals, and in a limited theatrical run, this just might become a timeless gay holiday classic. Watch out for the mistletoe over the doorway, and I give "Yuletide" a full five stars out of five.
