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."

It was not the best movie. Maybe if there was more underwear shots it could have been better

  Beautiful, Funny, Lovable

This is an amazing story. I loved it, and the acting is amazing. This is such a great portrayal of family love - no matter how dysfunctional it is, when you really need them they're there for you.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful story.

  sweet, funny, honest

Kevin Isola is incredibly sexy and sweet as Jonathan. Trying to capture his childhood feeling of Christmas, lost when his mother and father died, he writes a letter to Santa asking him to bring his true love. He has been raised by his older sister, hilariously and perfectly played by Aida Turturro, and these two actors absolutely make this film. Jonathan works at a gay bookstore, with several eccentric characters who do not quite share his confidence that Santa will come through. Then Toby walks in, fresh into New York from down south, and Jonathan is sure he is Santa's gift, but is horrified and confused when he finds out about Keith, Toby's rather intellectual live-in boyfriend. The ensuing confusion recalls the wacky farces of the 40's. Turns out Santa was on the job after all, though it takes a while for Jonathan to realize it. This movie is a gift to us.

  Cool

The movie was pretty nice. However I thought that Johnathon would end up with Toby. Keith wasn't in my opinion the best for Johnathon, seeing as how he treated Toby. It was believable and somehow made me want to believe in Santa again.

  I Was Totally Disappointed

Green Giant wrote on 01/24/2003:

I have to admit this film has
a interesting premise but that's about it. the production values are so low budget it almost looks as if
it were shot on digital video
than transfered to film. also
24 NIGHTS has what may very well be the most stagnant camera angles/set ups i've ever seen. i simply can not
understand the praise heaped
upon this film. my .5 rating is because David Murtka looks
hot in white cotton briefs.
