It’s pure mass market Christmas cookie cutter stuff that’s only made vaguely interesting in very short bursts because of its queerness.

San Francisco Chronicle by Carla Meyer
The movie eventually settles into a more relaxed, warmer tone, as veteran TV writer Chad Hodge’s self-aware script acknowledges all the tropes — gay and holiday — while continuing to employ them effectively.
With an underlying theme of love and acceptance, Single All The Way blossoms into a funny, delightful, and heartwarming romcom gift for all.
Though the title may be the cleverest thing about this cookie cutter affair, it’s refreshing to see a gay family film that doesn’t use its characters’ sexuality for dramatic conflict.
Single All the Way cannot sustain itself on Urie’s considerable charms alone, but he’s been so underused since the days of “Ugly Betty” that it’s thrilling to see him in a starring role. If only it was a better one.
The New York Times by Teo Bugbee
The supporting cast compensates with piquancy in the side dishes, but the main course is a flavorless misfire.
