US comedy drama about a Christmas family reunion starring Delroy Lindo, Idris Elba and Loretta Devine. The Whitfields, a middle-class African-American family, reunite for Christmas for the first time in several years. All the siblings have come home and they've brought their baggage with them. As the Christmas tree is trimmed and the lights are hung, secrets are revealed and family bonds are tested. There's the sister who encourages her siblings to sell the family dry cleaning business and split the profits. One brother is running from loan sharks. Another brother is AWOL from the Marines and one sister has brought along the man she's dating. As their lives converge, they join together and help each other discover the true meaning of Christmas.

About this product

Product Information

Like many holiday films, THIS CHRISTMAS mines the ample humour and drama of a family Christmas. Ma'Dere is the matriarch to the large and loving Whitfield family, which consists of her three daughters--Kelli, Lisa, and Mel--and her sons, Michael, Claude, and Quentin. 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?

Will their many problems and misunderstandings be resolved by Christmas day?<BR>Despite the often heavy subject matter, the film has the glow and sheen of a light-hearted romantic comedy. The characters may be awash in 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!
