24nights

What does every irrepressibly romantic
gay boy want for Christmas? In this
modern-day fable, Santa has 25 days
to deliver "true love," but has Jonathan
been a good boy?

REVIEW

The incredibly adorable Jonathan
(Kevin Isola) has always believed in
Santa, even despite his exasperated
sister Marie's (Aida Turturro of The
Sopranos) "lies" to the contrary. Now in
his early twenties working in an NYC
gay bookstore, Jonathan knows that
despite a string of failed affairs he can,
with a little help from Santa, still find
that perfect man! Jonathan is not
exactly a success in life - he works at a
dead-end job, lives with this sister,
smokes pot regularly and is a tad
accident prone. But even with all that
baggage, he's a total romantic who
thinks he's found his present when he
meets new co-worker Toby (David
Burtka), a cute Southerner and winner
of the local "wet underwear" contest.
But if Toby really is his gift from Santa,
why is he exploding like a party animal
all over the New York scene and why
has he brought his childhood
sweetheart Keith (Stephen Mailer)
along with him? As the shopping days
count down to Christmas, Jonathan
discovers that Santa doesn't always
deliver what sexy gay boys want, he
delivers what they deserve.

A wonderful, sweet romantic comedy
that should not only make the perfect
Christmas gift, but year-round
pleasure as well. The soundtrack
features great music by gay "crooner"
Rufus Wainwright, The Roches and
Vicki Lawrence's seventies hit "The
Nights the Lights Went Out in Georgia."

"Precious. You can unwrap '24 Nights'
right now."
