"This Christmas"--This Year and Beyond....:O)
Decided to see this moving on a whim, actually, and was MOST pleasantly surpirsed, indeed! :O)
It has a GREAT cast--led by my personal favourite, Loretta Devine, as Ma Dear. Gosh--she is getting to the age when she can roles such as a Ma Dear--who could have believed it! I still remember Ms. Devine from her days in the original (and best!) company of "Dreamgirls." And now, like then, she is a real SHOW-STOPPER--no doubt! Regina King is, as usual these days, a source of wonderment and skill in her chosen craft. She is, of course, attractive to a fault. But, more than that, she can really INHABIT a role and make it her own--to be sure! She takes the audience on the "ride" with her and never lets you down--not for one moment. As for the rest of the cast, they were all WONDERFUL (kudos for CHRIS BROWN--what a cuite! And the boy can SING!!) and services the script quite NICELY, indeed! :O)
All in all, "THIS CRISTMAS" is a wonderful "present" for the Yule-tide season! :O)
