It seem people are still trying to sabotage these black films on this website. There are over 300 scores that are "1", which is ridiculous for this film. The same thing has been happening with Tyler Perry films. Very sad, but these movies are doing very well at the box office, so the actors, directors and producers really have the last laugh.
The movie is about a black American family getting together for the X-Mas holiday. Of course the movie wouldn't be very interesting without a lot of drama about family members. Ma'Dere is trying to get everything ready for the holidays, but finds out along the way that her kids have several secrets that could make the holiday season a bit difficult. Quentin, her oldest son who has been gone for 3 years, returns home, but bring along some bad baggage with him. Ma'Dere's other some Claude is home from the service duty, but he too has several secrets that will shock the family. Daughter Lisa is dealing with an unfaithful husband, who's real motive could hurt Lisa's family business. Kelli is home as well and must deal with the family issue and try to find love at the same time. Even Ma'Dere youngest son Baby is keeping something special from her.
The story is well told, but lags in some areas. If you are expecting a lot of laughs and crazy outbursts like in "Why I Got Married", then you're at the wrong film. This film could have easily have gone straight to DVD, but I'm glad the producers gave it at chance at theaters. It's actually has done very well.
Chris Brown does a decent job of acting in this film and obviously has more then a few fans. There were teenage give behind me screaming and giggling every time he appeared on the screen. Aaahh..kids. It was good to see Delroy Lindo and Loretta Devine on screen again. These are great actors who definitely deserve more chances to shine. Overall the movie is entertaining and worth a look if you want to bring the whole family to the movies. Otherwise wait for it to come out on DVD and rent it.
