Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

jackiemrs Watched this Christmas 2010 ! Did not know what to expect as I had not seen this ensemble act together before and was unsure about Chris Brown as I know him for his vocal skills - What a revelation this film is! It is just the sort of movie to watch at Christmas as its heartwarming, redemptive,home truths are confronted and dealt with in a positive fashion.... the brilliant actors and storyline draw you in and make you really care about the characters.and that Chris brown sings like no other in this movie, so pitch perfect i'm going to purchase the soundtrack.I was left with a lovely feeling after watching with this with my sons.

bsdalton I just saw this movie today on cable and I was entertained. Yes, the plot lines were predictable, but name a movie in the last 25 years that wasn't. The cast was perfect: have you ever seen a bad movie with Delroy Lindo, Loretta Devine or Regina King. Look up the definition for "dysfunctional" and I'm sure it mentions family. We all have them. I am a 53-year-old white woman with only one child and and I related to this family. Ma'dere is doing the best she can to stay on top of her brood, while realizing that its unrealistic to do so. She's trying to find some happiness with Joe without betraying the fathers of her children. Her children are just trying to find their places in life, without severing all family ties. The scene where the new daughter-in-law comes in ("I'll keep drinkin' till it's funny") followed by the bookies ("Are YOU secretly married to one of my children?") is hysterical. So is the baby oil scene, whether or not its politically correct. This movie will be added to my list of Christmas movies.

kaptmorgin They need to stop making holiday movies about typical family problems. They are all the same. One's pregnant, the other is cheating on someone, another is getting back on the cheating one. Son brings home girlfriend/wife that people don't approve of. Step father that kid doesn't like. Annoying possessive mother, someones n the military. blah blah blah, same ole stuff. This is the black version of brothers and sisters, only squeezed into 2 hours. But as long as women keep watching this stuff, they have to keep making it. One last thing. How come the white girl wasn't dancing at the end? They even had the bookies in there dancing. That might of given us the comedy part, that this movie is listed as.

justlikegrandma I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I watched this movie expecting it to be another movie making fun of us but instead I found it to be an enjoyable movie. I love the way it each character had real issues and real conflicts that affect real families. Regina King, as always, did an excellent job portraying a woman scorn that has had enough. This movie cannot be compared to any other movie out there because it offers something for everyone without nudity. Surely, everyone who watches this movie can relate it to themselves or someone in their family. Chris Brown rocked singing "This Christmas." He takes 2nd place with this song only to the original singer, Donny Hathaway. And who doesn't do the soul train line every once and a while?
