It’s called Welcome To The Christmas Family Reunion because their last name is Christmas. Get it? Sigh.

Amy (Michelle Argyris) is an event planner with a terrible boss. When he tries to steal her ideas for the holiday family reunion for an upcoming pop star, Tiffanie Christmas (Asia’h Epperson), Amy quite the company and decides to run the event on her own. As she works closely with Tiffanie’s cousin, Calvin (Alonzo B. Slater), to make sure that everyone in the family would be happy with the event, Amy finds herself falling in love with him. But can she really make everyone happy?

I wanted so much more for this movie. All of the characters felt like some sort of caricature of a rich black family. No one felt sincere. And the entire movie felt like it was a bunch of people just wanting to show off their wealth. The main conflict of the movie is where to have the family reunion. So Amy visits each person’s home so she can see why their house is the “perfect” place to host the party. But no one was showing the actual things you need for a party, like “My kitchen is big enough for the caterers to use as a home base as they serve the food.” or “My back yard can be arranged in a way that everyone can move around comfortably AND we can set up a dance floor!” Instead, it’s more like “Here is my giant koi pond” and “We keeps chickens in this huge coop.” I really don’t think your event planner wants to visit your chickens.

Sadly, I don’t think there is anything particularly redeeming about Welcome To The Christmas Family Reunion. It’s even too boring to just put on in the background. Skip this one. Go watch Merry Liddle Christmas Baby and the rest of the Liddle family movies instead. At least they feel like real people.
