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.

This Christmas is a very good movie.I didn't think it was going to be good cause Chris Brown in not a actor he is a singer and usually singers don't make good actors.Laruan London is a very good actor she played her part very well.This is a movie that the whole family can watch together and love it.This move symbolizes what a everyday family goes through on holidays.I would recommend this movie to other people if they haven't seen it yet,and they wont be disappointed when they watch it.They need 2 make a second movie to so how the family is with them find out that there brother is marring a white women and having a baby by her.

Poorly written takeoff of a movie that Tyler Perry could have made a box office smash. Perhaps he should do a "Madea's Christmas" just as a response to this film.Humor is poorly timed and storyline is weak. The cast is good but they just weren't given much to work with.The two main characters in the film "MaDere" and "Joe" were obviously borrowed from Tyler Perry's very successful "Madea" movies which will make you laugh out loud and at the same time touch your heart. Halfway through the movie I had to pull it up here to prove to myself that Tyler Perry had nothing to do with it. The movie comes across as a poor imitation of the very gifted Mr. Perry as an Actor, Director and Screenwriter.
