A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
I don't like men dressing up like women. It's creepy. Also I don't like Eddie Murphy in drag and I am also not a fan of Mrs. Doubtfire either. When a black man dresses up like a woman he demeans and stereotypes black people. Period. I say this in all sincerely as I am "white". Worst movie of this "gender" has to be "White Chicks". Also not a fan of redneck-bashing movies like "Dumb and Dumber". Even the Naked Gun Series insults several minorities. Either I have no sense of humor, or I know what I don't like. "Blazing Saddles" was a break-though movie in this area, but it also opened up "Pandora's Box". The Christmas story here is actually better than expected, but the movie is not really that funny. What's funny about racial hatred? Best caught on cable next year or at Redbox. Save your money.
Basically if your a fan of Madea then you will love this movie. I thought it was absolutely hilarious! One of the best Madea movies Tyler Perry has done! All of the characters in the movie bring their own sense of comedy (and of course drama). The storyline is great and I was really entertained the whole length of the movie, not bored once. There were people of all ages in the theater and everyone was laughing through the movie. I highly recommend this movie to all Madea fans/Tyler Perry fans and really even if you have never seen a Madea movie then I still suggest you go see it. You surely wont regret it. I would actually go see it a second time in the movie theaters it was so good.
For those that like Tyler Perry's films and especially the Madea films -- you know who you are -- I'm sure this would be another enjoyable foray into that world. Nah, this review isn't for you. This is for the other people who for some godforsaken reason might end up having to watch this film. I've sat through a lot of crap, and I just couldn't make it through this. I lasted longer than I thought I would, so I'll give myself that. You're basically paying for a made-for-TV movie you'd see on either BET or Hallmark channel. Incredibly bad script, a narrative that is bland and uninteresting, repetitive jokes that are the opposite of funny, screen transitions you'd expect to see on a sitcom's Christmas special, and lazy camera-work.The only redeeming quality of this film is the attractiveness of Tika Sumpter, I mean goddamn does she look gorgeous.
" The hilarity of Larry The Cable Guy, and Tyler Perry keep this Christmas picture moving with over 115 laughs. ". Russell & Cissy Madea (Tyler Perry) accompanies her niece, Eileen (Anna Maria Horsford), to the small town of Buck Tussel, Alabama to pay a surprise visit to Eileen's daughter, Lacey (Tika Sumpter), who has refused to come home for Christmas. The real reason Lacey is avoiding her judgmental mother is that she has secretly married Connor (Chad Michael Murray), a white classmate from college. When Eileen and Madea arrive at Lacey's farm, she tells them that Connor is an employee, but her lie soon spins out of control.R & C Warnings: sexual references, crude humor and language (3).Audience Emotional Responses ( Based on a near to full house ) Laughs 116, Ooooos 2, Awe moments 1.Rating: PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned Lions Gate Films - 1:52 - Release Date: December 13, 2013 Russell & Cissy, the Two Movie Critics rate movies based on ENTERTAINMENT VALUE only.
