Netflix's 'The Merry Gentlemen' Blends Holiday Cheer with Male Revue

The festive rom-com starring Chad Michael Murray and Britt Robertson combines small-town charm with a dance-filled quest to save a family business.

The Merry Gentlemen follows a Broadway dancer, played by Britt Robertson, who returns to her hometown to save her parents' struggling performance venue through a male dance revue.
Chad Michael Murray stars as Luke, a handyman turned reluctant dancer, adding a mix of humor and romance to the holiday-themed story.
The film balances family-friendly holiday tropes with playful nods to Magic Mike-style performances, though it avoids explicit content.
Critics have noted the predictable plot and lack of chemistry between leads but praised its lighthearted appeal and nostalgic casting choices, including Beth Broderick and Maxwell Caulfield.
The movie is part of Netflix's growing slate of festive films, aiming to capture audiences seeking feel-good holiday entertainment.
