“A nice balance between sentimental and sweet—which is just how every holiday gathering should feel.”—Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
At holiday time, family matriarch Ma’Dere Whitfield (Loretta Devine) assembles her large brood for their first reunion in four years. However, family ties show signs of strain when various secrets come to light, especially concerning Marine Claude’s (Columbus Short) true military status, Quentin’s (Idris Elba) debts and teenage Baby’s (Chris Brown) secret plans to become a singer. 2007, U.S., video, 117 minutes. Rated PG-13.
