While far from the worst holiday dramedy audiences could hope for, Almost Christmas isn't distinctive enough to prompt a visit to the theater -- or annual yuletide viewings.

Aside from the traditional spaghetti set-up of conflicts that will unfurl and be resolved with good cheer around the turkey, David E Talbert's film has a rather moving backstory about the death of the family matriarch the previous year. November 29, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The movie takes a few calamitous turns at its climax, dangerously approaching broad slapstick and villainizing a character we've come to love. But mainly, it's a fun and boisterous countdown to the big meal. November 15, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The committed performances by the cast of talented actors are what elevates Almost Christmas above complaints about its familiarity and melodrama. November 11, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Almost Christmas goes light enough on the clich and gives the stacked cast - which also includes J.B. Smoove, Gabrielle Union, Omar Epps and Romany Malco - enough decent material that the film remains relatively lively. November 11, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's as predictable as your aunt's holiday stuffing, but the cast finds some places to open up the material. November 11, 2016 | Rating: C | Full Review…

When Talbert allows his cast to let loose and have fun, that affection reverberates from the screen. When he decides to dial it back and take things seriously is when we run into trouble. July 11, 2020 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

You'll get through this movie and laugh a little but really going with the cast that's there you should be laughing way more. January 11, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Warmly familiar and not without a notable degree of poignancy, it's disappointing to see glimpses of the strength this scenario and cast could have commanded if Talbert's script didn't circulate almost exclusively in obvious beats. October 3, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
