Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Fast paced and engagingly acted. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

It's different from the usual fare in one obvious way -- most of the cast are African Americans -- and, more importantly, in its willingness to leave some problems unsolved and volatile or unhappy people unchanged. Read full review

G. Allen Johnson

It's warm, witty and alive, with a fantastic cast and a belief in its characters that transcends its formulaic tendencies. Read full review

Wesley Morris

One of those overstaffed, overstuffed "when do we eat?" holiday dramedies. Call it a double-extra-strength episode of "Soul Food." Read full review

Michael Phillips

Overstuffed, formulaic but very easy to take. Read full review

Laura Kern

Boisterous and bittersweet, the film is not dull, but it does feel hopelessly overstuffed, with scant time to devote to any one story line. Read full review

Empire Emily Phillips

Like mum's home-made comfort food, it's warming but not really that good for you. Read full review

"This Christmas" was a humorous, sweet and heartfelt glance at the interactions of a family during Christmastime, and the lives of the individual members.
