A pair of meddling mothers, a Christmas pageant, and the reunion of childhood sweethearts – what more could you want from a Christmas film? Merry & Gay premiered on on 1 December to viewers’ delight, submerging us into this festive adoration . The film follows the reunion of childhood lovers Becca Winters (Dia Frampton) and Sam Sheridan (Andi René Christensen)… with a little help from their prying parents.
However, all is not completely jolly in their hometown Evergreen, Tennessee. With dreams to be a Broadway actor, Becca left Sam to pursue her career in Fresh York three years ago. Since Becca’s departure, Sam has focused on running their family bar Sheridan’s. But the pain of this memory is easily sweetened by the pair’s mothers – Tilly Winters (Hayat Nesheiwat) and Lucille Sheridan (Janet Ivey) – who hatch a strategy to reunite the lofty school sweethearts. But what happens when Becca’s manager, Charlotte Reese (Sarah Daddario) c
Merry and Gay tells the story of Becca and Sam, two childhood-friends-turned-high-school-sweethearts who are unexpectedly reunited over the holiday season. When Becca (Dia Frampton), a Broadway star, returns to her miniature hometown to assist direct the annual Christmas pageant, she learns that her ex, Sam (Andi René Christensen) is building the sets for the exhibit. Sam holds a level of resentment towards Becca, as they feel that she let their relationship die in pursuit of her dreams. However, with the help of their enthusiastic mothers (Hayat Nesheiwat and Janet Ivey), Sam and Becca start to realize that maybe their connection isn’t quite worth walking away from yet.

However, it showcases a number of alternative factors that are far too often underrepresented. As evidenced by the recent controversy surrounding Candace Cameron Bure and Hallmark, it is ever apparent that despite the progress made for LGBT+ rep
'Merry & Gay': A bright and heartfelt LGBTQ Christmas venture
One of the latest films that I got to review was a little film entitled Merry & Gay. The clip centers around two immature women, Becca and Sam, who were once tall school sweethearts. Ever since the two parted ways, Sam has lead a reserved life working mostly as a bartender. Becca, on the other hand, has a successful sprint on Broadway and when the two reconnect, they attempt to rekindle their long-lost romance.
To be unbiased, the editing and route could use a pleasant polish through. It’s very easy to see the rough patches and the incohesive lighting where the production may have lagged.
Nevertheless, the film proves to be a jovial and triumphant step forward for couples in the LGBTQ movement. It shares a certain kinship with forbidden love and recapturing the magic that made you fall in love with your partner.
Admittedly, the production is adjacent to that of Hallmark movies that may get thrown into the maw of obscurity, but that doesn’t interrupt it from being entertaining in its own right. Its whimsy and heart
