Ok- Bear with us it normally takes a minute for us to get a baby sitter so here at blackandmarriedwithkids.com our movie reviews normally run a lil bit late 🙂 See below for both of our takes on the movie “This Christmas” starring Chris Brown. View the trailer below.
TheMom:
I thought the movie was good but not great and even with the problems the children had I thought they made the family too goodie goodie. I also wasn’t feeling the nicknames for the mother and father, that was cheesey. Â Chris Brown did a good job singing and acting IMO.
TheDad:
Decent film, it did have it’s funny parts. Still trying to figure out why no one called the mother mom, mommy or even ma? Who knows? It was a good film to get you in the mood for the holidays. Delroy Lindo was the man as normal and played a good part but that’s to be expected. Overall I’d say go see it, take a date buy a  popcorn/snack combo @ 20bucks each and enjoy the night.
Yeah, I thought the movie was OK. I mean showing a black man with a white wife and then to add to it, getting put in jail. I wasn’t pleased with the writing. The one daughter with the no good husband and “bs” she was playing too. Haven’t we come a long way from that type of stero-casting? And the Mom who owns her home with grown-ass children just visiting shouldn’t have any say in her sleeping arrangments. I was glad to see so many black actors working, but the was way to long a line dance at the end.
” way to long a line dance” LOL. Funny enough I watched this movie with my family on Boxing day. When we got home we actually tried to reinact the scene.
I thought the movie was a bad take on “Soul food” but the family realtionships were so predictable my neice who’s 7yrs could have added a better climax.
As I live in the UK seeing a black movie,in the cinemas on general release was awesome. So I give top props…….Got nothing on Soul Food thou lol.
I felt this movie had a really nice cohesive family story to it and had some chuckling moments, but got a bit boring as the story went on. Chris Brown was surprisingllt good.
I Hyped This Christmas on Everhype and gave it 84% which I think is fairly accurate.

I wouldnt mind getting some opinions on it . If you get on there, rate me a 5 & request friendship.
What happened to the white girl in the line dance? Didn’t she make the cut. Lol
