This Christmas
Materi Whitfield's family is reunited after a long absence, with the family reunited after four full years. But at Christmas you will see many disasters and secrets that have never been seen before. Family ties show signs of tension and distress when many secrets emerge, especially with regard to the real military status of Clark Marrod, Devon Quentin, the plans of a teenage child to become a singer, to other exotic secrets.

Family holiday dramedy has some iffy content.

...there's a genuine feeling of a real family's real Christmas, with all its heat as well as warmth, the kind of thing that's missing from the plastic platitudes of holiday junk like Fred Claus...

Here's a family you'll want to visit for the holidays. Maybe you'll event want to stay through New Year's.

Easily the best film of its genre since 'Soul Food' and definitely makes for a excellent holiday season treat.

If you're looking for a film that celebrates the holiday spirit, This Christmas would be my first suggestion because it's heartfelt and not too sweet.

If the real-life Christmas experience tends too often to be marred by the rude contradiction between expectations and reality, movies like the ultra-bland holiday family movie This Christmas are at least partly to blame.

A happy Christmas package that more or less ignores the fact that it's a black American family story

o matter how silly the situation, each member of the uniformly strong cast creates a nice balance between sentimental and sweet -- which is just how every holiday gathering should feel.

An incoherent mess in which scenes of teary reconciliations sit uncomfortably next to protracted gags involving catfights, car wrecks and a big bottle of baby oil.

Christmas won't wow anyone with its audacity or originality, but it's bound to make plenty of people happy with its slick, crowd-pleasing familiarity.

I could actually see this becoming kind of a minor perennial during the holidays.

This is good-natured, determinedly aspirational African-American entertainment, but did it have to be quite so heavy on the clichés?
