My family and I went to the movies last night. We went to see "This Christmas," a family movie for the holidays.
The premise is pretty simple: the Whitfields gather for the Christmas holiday for the first time in several years. It is a movie that is suitable for the entire family, with mild language and some sexual innuendo.
Check out the "This Christmas" site
here.
plez sez: all of the family members bring their baggage along for the ride. it was a fun, family drama that explored the intricate family dynamics that affect us all. just about every dynamic was explored in a very real way, but each was explored with the help of a well developed plot and three dimensional characters.
loretta devine glows as the family matriarch and this was the first time that i've seen teen heart throb
chris brown in a movie where he wasn't killed off in the first 10 minutes: "
stomp the yard... but he does sing in this one... and he's a very good singer. you will also note that chris brown's brother (
columbus short) in this movie was also his brother in "stomp the yard."
there was something for everyone in this flick... i highly recommend that you add it to your holiday fare.
and you must stay for the "
family movie" AFTER the movie... it was the MOST FUN i've seen in a flick in a long time!
