Synopsis

Like many holiday films, This Christmas mines the ample humour and drama of a family Christmas. Ma'Dere (Loretta Devine) is the matriarch to the large and loving Whitfield family, which consists of her three daughters--Kelli (Sharon Leal), Lisa (Regina King), and Mel (Lauren London)--and her sons, Michael (Chris Brown), Claude (Columbus Short), and Quentin (Idris Elba). They are an extremely attractive and successful bunch, but no sooner have they shared their first meal together than the hidden tensions begin to boil to the surface. Long-kept secrets come tumbling out, and the Whitfields soon engender enough drama to support several spin-off soap operas. There's interracial marriage, infidelity, gambling debts, an AWOL soldier, and repressed dreams of musical stardom, to name just a few of the issues they are forced to tackle in between stuffing the turkey and decorating the tree. Will their many problems and misunderstandings be resolved by Christmas day?

Despite the often heavy subject matter, the film has the glow and sheen of a light-hearted romantic comedy. The characters may be awash with drama, but they contend with their troubles in impeccable wardrobes and settings, so that even the barroom brawls have an almost cosy look to them. While some might feel the packed storyline was in more need of trimming than the tree, the tidy ending makes for perfect feel-good holiday fare. If only all family discord could end with a dance-off to Kool And the Gang.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love at Christmas, 27 Nov 2008
By Ms. S. Thomas (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved the film from beginning to end even though I am not a fan of Christmas, it was more focused on family. It wasn't a predictable storyline which made it more interesting, I will definitely watch it again and share it around. It had some laughter, some tears and some fighting, everything you need for a perfect Christmas lol.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Christmas, 1 Feb 2009
By J. R. Farquharson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I went to see this movie at the Cinema in December 2007 and was so impressed that I had to have a copy of it for my dvd library at home. The positive message in the film about family, is good. The picture quality and musical tracks is excellent. Purchased an additional copy for a friend as a gift also. Well worth the purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice family movie, 10 Feb 2009
It would be fair to say this film does come with a fair hint of "cheese" but it's not your mild cheddar, if you get me. There are some entertaining performances, Chris Brown's open mike scene is brilliant and Delroy Lindo's character is very grounded. A solid film, with an excellent depiction of one families Xmas. Definately one to add to your collection, if you have one
