    Oops.. the Turkeys arrived in time for Christmas

    Ermmmm this says Christmas about as much as the Easter Bunny does I'm afraid, every year there seems to be one or two outstanding christmas films, and one sure fire turkey, and this is the latter. Based around an African American family getting together, forgiving, forgetting and tying all those loose family ends together to bring festive cheer and togetherness. Unfortunately it has too many cliches, too little humor and just nowhere near enough Christmas about it. I guess that just about wraps this one up, if your going to treat yourself to anything this year, dont add this to your list, as it is worse than a boxing day hangover, sorry to say. Not recommeded.

He seemed more interested in feeding straw to Baby Jesus than joining in any of the carols. Until, that is, a rousing rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" triggered his inner Kanye. That was also the cue for a special surprise guest star: the big guy in the red suit made his entrance ringing bells, showing off his dance moves, Read more
