  Now the obvious double-entendre in the title does not bode well... No, it's not a great film, but actually it is watchable. Two young lads are together at college but when one - "Gunn" (Keith Jordan) has to go home for the festivities, he reverts to his "straight" persona. His perfectly fashioned boyfriend "Thomas" (Wyatt Fenner) is abandoned by his disinterested family (his mother is "Dr. Crusher"!) so decides to visit his unsuspecting in-laws instead. Once he arrives, he has the status of a college room-mate and we follow some daft escapades as they try to keep the charade going whilst sneaking in the odd bit of nookie and poor old "Gunn" has to fend off the unwanted attentions of local girl "Abby" (Hallee Hirsch). It's all a bit of a stereotypical tale, but there are some fun contributions from mother Kelly Keaton (she has some fun with who sleeps where on the bunk beds!) and the writing is not always cringemaking. The ending - well, what do think is going to happen? It'a a Christmas film, after all - and not the worst I've ever seen either.Read more
