A few weeks before the last holiday of the year, the platforms begin to gradually release original Christmas movies, which will delight those who like this type of content.
If the temperature drops, Netflix is going to warm you up with a nice new Christmas movie, romantic and a little sensual dance shows that will make you happy.
A Christmas movie that will warm you up
Written by Marla Sokoloff and directed by Peter Sullivan, experts in two Christmas movies, The Merry Gentlemen should appeal to fans of the genre because it combines all the effective ingredients: a woman in the midst of an existential crisis who returns to her hometown and falls. The love of Prince Charming (and an appearance by Santa Claus) during the last holiday of the year.
Therefore, romantic comedy takes all the codes of the genre and adds a little sensual tone. The Merry Gentlemen tells the story of Ashley, a Broadway dancer who has been performing with the Jingle Belles for ten years.
Everything changes when he is fired to replace a young dancer. Ashley then decides to spend the end of the year holidays with her parents in her hometown of Sycamore Creek.
But Ashley gets a nasty surprise when she sees her parents, as they risk losing their bar, the Rhythm Room, due to lack of money. He then decides to start a Full Monty-style men’s revue show with Luke, his parents’ handyman, a bartender, and his brother Roger.
The show is so successful that the male troupe is even expanding with an older side. Ashley’s life takes a new turn as she falls in love with Luke.
“Scott Brothers” star cast
If The Merry Gentlemen has a few twists and turns, it still remains a Christmas movie, and a happy ending is guaranteed at the end of the feature film, which is highlighted by comedic, romantic and moving sequences.
Another endearing feature of this romcom: the public will be delighted to see Chad Michael Murray, the unforgettable Lucas Scott in The Scott Brothers. Like other dashing gentlemen in the film, the actor dropped his shirt several times and goes all out in the show’s choreography.
The former star of The Scott Brothers is now a regular in romantic comedies and Christmas movies. Most recently, you saw her in Mother of the Bride on Netflix.
To round out the romantic duo, The Merry Gentlemen relies on Britt Robertson, an actor well-known to fans who has starred in Life Unexpected, Under The Dome, Casual and The People.
The Merry Gentlemen movie is available on Netflix.
