Watch This Christmas For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This Christmas, is your typical black movie, where is the uniqueness and where is the fresh ideas, I am sick and tired of people hollering about their atheists, the writer must be an atheist himself: because he left Christ out of the entire movie, and it is labled this Christmas, if you are not going to acknowledge God, stop trying to make money off his name. Christmas is Christ-mas, Also, when you have a church scene, if you cannot mention God in the song, leave it out completely, I do not want to hear the chior singing mistletoe, really!??? what happen to silent night or go tell it on the Mountain, Joy to the world; They made church a joke: They should have use the song this Christmas; when the family was visiting each other, shopping, or cooking, Not during church: Also, the overdone story lines where the black men are shooting at each other, robbing, stealing, going to jail, families arguing and fighting, black women lay around and end up with some STD and do not want to get married or remaining single; I am disgusted with these stories; the writer seem to be selfish: Also, you have people question, why we do not watch black films. However, We are tired of the repetition stories, also people, stories like these carry spirits and they can come out of the screen and leap into these people homes, we have to be careful, we are entertaining demons, if you do not believe me, for example, when Michael Jackson did the song ghost, He laid on the ground and turned to dust, is he not gone today, even though its just a video of a song, and when Redd Foxx played the role of Fred Sandford, having a junk yard buiness with his son, and always pretending to have a heart attack, in real life, he died of a heart attack, also a woman played on a soap opera, chased after men, the man always choose another woman over her, and she was left lonely, in real life, do you know she is divorced and left alone, It is okay to play a sad role once in awhile, but overdoing it, is too much, then it become spirits leaping into people homes or take effect on the characters real life, and women lives who want to get married, also have you seen the movie the shining, the woman went crazy in the movie, and now they announced on Inside Edition, a a couple of weeks ago, that she went mentally insane, and now she is in a mental institute, this is real life, I am expecting something better from these black films; If we are going to do a Christmas movie, do it right, its about Jesus

This film is about as far from my favorite "Black cast" film as you can get. The biggest reason is that -- and this was mostly before we saw the dark side of him -- Chris Brown can't talk well, can't eat normally, and definitely cannot act worth...well, you know what. However, his performance of "This Christmas" is stunning, but today it's sort of in the shadow of someone like Chris Brown singing "Try A Little Tenderness"! And then there's the problem of Idris Elba. His character was so unlikable in most of this film that I pretty much avoided any film he was in for the last 10 years, although recently I've begun to respect his acting more.The rest of the cast is likable and does fine, and I remain convinced that Loretta Devine is a terribly underrated actress. She excels in so many films.As to the story...well, for a while I was thinking how many families are this messed up...and then I thought of my own family when I was growing up, and I put that whole criticism of the film to rest. However, there's an awfully lot of family dysfunction packed into one film. But, it has some interesting story lines and is reasonably entertaining.Again, not one of my favorites, but well worth watching...except for the Chris Brown segments.

I so love this moviei watch it every year for Christmas and throughout the year sometime 3or4 times a day hope there will b a part 2. I love the plot the cast i can watch this movie over and over again. I love that it circles around family it reminds me of the good ole days n what Christmas is really about n ways it reminds me og my family my grandma kids. Please make a part 2.

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.
