Writer/director Preston Whitmore seems more like an air-traffic controller than a filmmaker after turning in this overcrowded holiday film that juggles too many characters with unoriginal problems and secrets. When the Whitfield family reunites after four years, an array of trite troubles is revealed and then predictably abated in a timely manner. Featuring character clichés from the half-cocked matriarch to the chauvinistic husband, from the closeted singer to the prima donna daughter, this uninspired family film is nothing to rush and see this Christmas.
