I watched both Hot Frosty and The Merry Gentlemen as soon as they hit the 2024 movie calendar, and for me, Chad Michael Murray’s Hallmark-meets-Magic Mike combo was more of what the doctor ordered (he was really just a stripper dressed like a doctor, though).

The Merry Gentlemen also had more male dancing than I expected, with theme changes, fun costumes and some wild moves that were, indeed, both spicy and comical.
