Check out the trailer for the upcoming film “This Christmas” starring Chris Brown, Regina King, Idris Elba, Mehki Phiffer, Lauren London, Columbus Short, and Loretta Devine.
The film follows the story of the Whitfields family who have joined together for the first time in years for Christmas. As the holiday draws near, one by one things are revealed and tests the strength of their family ties. We all know how this story is going to end, but it looks like a great family movie with a terrific cast.

This movie is set to hit nationwide theaters on November 21st.
Looks good!
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.
I will be at the show immediately following black Friday shopping!!!
1st!!!
@ #2 LOL at Christmas Soul Food!
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 like it will be good
Lauren London….umm umm umm….good lawd she is fine. One chance is all I ask. The movie aint bad either…lol
Well i’m interested..looks well casted
looks good…predictable but good…i see they keep recycling black actors….guess there only about 10 in hollywood
HEI! chris brown is so fine..

“i see they keep recycling black actors….guess there only 10 in hollywood”
^^LOL!!… Yeah I was ROTF @ Chris Brown, LAZ ALONZO and the other one from the movie “STOMP the YARD” all being in the same movie again…. I was waiting for MEAGAN GOODE to come in the scene with a SORORIETY jacket on. LMAO!!!
But i’ll always support a positive black film
err, i think its more of a kids movie..
looks good actually! chris brown seems like a good actor too..
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.
-Rain
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.
WOOO HOOO looks good can’t wait to watch it,alreadi know it going to be my fav chris movie out that time,it’s funny and dats how i like my movies..It’s good to see chris is doing well and 2nd movie ,chris breezy is going more places after this, his extremeley doing well god bless him…
This Christmas is my 2nd favorite Christmas song…so…lil Chris…don’t mess up my memories baby!
Looks like a good movie..and I love my black folks, so I will be there to support.
I think the movie is going to be great. Its Similar to Soulfood! I can’t wait to see it!
Seems like a nice movie — good cast, and Chris Brown is really getting his acting on. Good Look.
Happy to see Lauren London in something again. Seens like it’ll be good.
No surprise. 2007 version of Soul Food. I’ll check it out…
Agree w/ #2 & #19
Soul Foodish. Especially the “yall want me to cook” joke. Haven’t we heard that before…Anyhoo lOOOOve black movies.
Wow, it looks really good… I can’t wait for it to come out!
yea I want to check this out, even though critics will try to dump all over it. Can’t wait for the holidays!!
From the looks of it the movie look like it’s going to be good. They have alot of good
Black actors in the movie. I loooooooooooooooooooooooove me some sexy as stringer Bell from the wire, let me get a whole of myself but he is so seeeeeeeeeexy!
looks predictable but at the same time still interesting. I will be checking this out closer to the season.
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…….
I love these feel-good movies. Nice cast. I’m looking forward to it. It’s good to see Keith Robinson is getting more work.
I’m going to see it just to see Columbus Short fine ass. It looks good
Finally a black movie without any gang members or drug dealers!!! I will go support it for sure!
Yall sleepimg on Mekhi. He is a damned good actor!
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.
LOL@the Soul Food comparisons…I just thought that’s how some families r…there is someone who wants to cook who’s ass doesn’t need to be in the kitchen in my family..
ok So christmas with a soul food twist…. updated!. i like.
Looks good.
i think yal are right about the whole soul food christmas thing, but the movie looks good. ill definitely be seeing it.
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
I’ll definitely go and check this out…looks like my type of positive movie.
This Movie looks mad funny. I love Regina King and Lauren London is a cutie.
Idris Elba, Muahhhhhhh he is so FINE !!!
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.
@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
wow i mean i love me sum chris brown but woooyyy kiiii is in the film ohh shiii sexy guys up in this cant wait 4 it to hit the uk
….That all said from my post in #37, will definitely watch this. Looks like a really nice, wholesome, positive black movie.
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…
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:
LOL!!… Yeah I was ROTF @ Chris Brown, LAZ ALONZO and the other one from the movie “STOMP the YARD” all being in the same movie again…. I was waiting for MEAGAN GOODE to come in the scene with a SORORIETY jacket on. LMAO!!!
O hell yea this movie is gon be a box office hit!!! I mean you got all da good actors n actresses n this. Awww I can’t wait I’m starting to feel the Christmas spirirt now lol N Idris Elba’s sexy ass is n this oohh besides Morris Chestnut he’s THE sexiest actor n Hollywood. Columbus is sexy too. Loretta Devine has always been a favorite. Man finally I have a reason to go to the movies
Well, looks like it will be good. I’m definitely going to check it out. Black Star Power. That’s what I’m talking about!
Looks Like a great Movie to Me…I love Lorettad Devine and Regina King. I will be there on opening night.
Can’t wait to see it…there hasn’t been a Christmas Soul Food in awhile!
this movie looks like a feel-good Christmas flick but I liked it better the first time when it was called Soul Food.
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.
Can’t wait! Haven’t had a movie like that since Soul Food. Hope it is good!
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.
Looks just like a Christmas version of Soul Food but I’ll go see it for my boo Chris Brown
Looks good. Damn, that Chris Brown keeps getting finer & finer, doesn’t he?
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.
Such a beautiful cast : )
