Santa Delivers
|
"24 Nights"
Santa Delivers
Amos Lassen
Jonathan wants a boyfriend for Christmas and he asks Santa to bring him one. His life has not been so great so far but he knows that Santa Claus can help him find the prefect man. Spending a day working in a gay bookstore, then going home to live with his sister, smoking a little pot and bumbling through life, he thinks that a boyfriend is what he needs. Jonathan is a romantic and even though he does not have a great deal going for him, he feels that the time has come to settle down.
Suddenly Jonathan gets a new coworker when Toby comes to work at the bookstore. Toby is cute, from the South and has just won the wet underwear contest. There is only one catch--his boyfriend. He also loves to party and Jonathan realizes that this is not what he asked Santa to bring.
Kevin Isola is Jonathan and he is a very sexy man but the idea that he has written to Santa to ask for a man seems to be a bit of a juvenile plot line. Yet I was surprised how convincing the film us. However, the low budget caused the film to be just another movie.
The film is a bit of a farce and there are several truly laughable moments. Here is a new twist on Christmas that is not just funny but is cute and refreshing and somewhat touching. Kevin Isola gives quite a performance as Jonathan but it is Aida Turturro as his sister that is the star of the movie. She has the best and funniest lines. Some of the highlights of the movie include a poker game which is played with old 45 recordings (that most of you have probably never seen) and a scene with Pepe LePew on the nature of love.
Rufus Wainwright sings on the soundtrack as do The Roches and Vicki Lawrence. Even though the movie is set against Christmas, it can hold its own any time of year. If you need a bit of a pick up, here is a film that will do just that.
