So we got a Christmas Soul Food on our hands. I’ll probably be able to predict the story line from beginning to end but,whatever it’s a positive, black movie so I’m going to see it.

This looks like it will be nice, with the exception of Mekhi Phifer. Was Jackie Long or ANY other young black actor not available??

Looks good to me… we need some black movies that’ll put a smile on yo face rather than make u feel like beatin’ someone up once u leave the theatre. Kudos to the casting director too.

cant wait to see it.
Nice nod to Donny Hathaway who didnt get his just due when he was living. Sadly most black people only know “This Christmas” to be his.

Looks like Chris Brown’s character is going to die…..again. What is it this time? Hit and run? Pneumonia? Getting shot in a dance brawl again? What? Movie looks predictable as hell…….

LMFAO @ # 28! Why do black movies think thats the only way to make a movie good nowadays. Kill a kid off for no damn reason. Stomp The Yard, You got served, step up, need I continue? But anyway I do want to see this and the Tyler Perry Movie, looks like the feel good black films are coming back.

Can Chris Brown act??
I love me some Loretta Devine (she was in Waiting To Exhale) and Regina King.
Im sure Chris’ secret will either be:
1. Hes a daddy
2. Hes gonna die from an illness
3. Hes gay

Looks like a good movie and I plan on seeing it. I’m just not into Chris Brown having a character that sings. I don’t like his singing voice at all. It’s quite annoying.
And for the record … #37 … I’m pulling for him being gay, lol.
41.

Monday, October 1, 2007 /
@37,i actually think its going to be that he wants to be a singer because of the fact that she was cryin as she watched him in church but who knows
looks like a pretty good movie.i love loretta devine and regina jones

gonna see it cause i love chris brown and columbus short and it seems like a good cast…i thought his secret would’ve been something about his singing cause i hope he doesn’t die in it…

Monday, October 1, 2007 /
Yeah I like it.
And Columbus Short….oh yeah, I’ll be there to see his fine tail.
And I think Chris character will NOT die, but it seems his mother was against singing careers for some reason, my prediction, hers ended badly. (my opinion)
Any who, Im not sleeping on Mekhi, but he is so out of place in this movie for some odd reason.
Lauren Lunden, glad to see NuNu again. lol

I’m going to convince my boyfriend to see this with me…but I’ll prolly end up dragging my best friend along. Looks like a feel good movie.
On another note: BWAH @ #12:

I cant wait for This Christmas to come next month. I am huge of Regina King and Loretta Devine, I also like Delroy Lindo. As many have mentioned before this is like a christmas Soul Food. I love Soul Food its one of my top 3 movies of all times. To answer ur questions about Chris Browns’ secret, its the fact he wants sing, and he dont know how his mother is going to react to him wanting to sing.

This movie and Tyler Perry movie will be the only movies I’ll be seeing this year. Unless there will be another good black movie out this year, or white it doesn’t really matter.

it’s not that deep for me…i’ll go see it regardless….but yeah, it would be nice if we could do some films with some more complex themes..
but when we do, they are hard to follow….sleep with anger anyone?
still….we have more than one story damn…that’s why I liked ATL it put a little twist on it with lauren london’s character….
that being said….love lauren and i’ll see any movie with idris, chris brown AND columbus short…..loooved stomp the yard!

This looks like it will be interesting.I will be watching it that’s for sure just because of the cast alone. I think that was a good idea because if the cast wasn’t good people would be like they just copying I ain’t paying money to see that movie but with all the good actors you want to see how everyone will play off each other in the movie and how they will try to change something in it to make it interesting and not predictable. I mean we can’t be sure it is because preveiws just display little higlights of them film but it’s the movie as a whole that makes it good. LIke they have so many blacks dance movies too but it’s the story line and the actor and actresses skills that make a movie.

Imma see this and that new Ciara movie (when does it come out?). Oh and I hope Chris’s characters secret is that he is gay! I mean come on, black movies NEVER deal with homosexuality unless its about AIDS awareness or what have you.

My people My peeople Im glad ya’ll said it before I did. This ain’t nothing but another soul food. They even got the same actor and plot from soul food. The ligthskin dude last name is Redmond played in the T.V version of Soul food he was Maxine husband Kenny is his name. This is a damn shame ppl. Remember when Nia Long went in the bathroom to have sex with her husband,,,,That was tacky and so already done. And by the way Hollywood stop with the sterotypes (coughing) Chris Brown the jigga boo player. He is fine but he need grow as an actor. Damn this don’t make no since.
