Get ready for this holiday season a
little earlier than expected. Get ready to celebrate with this wild and crazy
family. I love holiday movies especially that feature Halloween, Thanksgiving,
and Christmas these are the times that we get to involve our families into
popular traditions and we get to be a part of the festivities. We tell stories
of past celebrations, talk about our family tree, we share fun moments and
customs as well. No matter who you celebrate with during the holiday season
this is a time to love, cherish, and enjoy every single person you love whether
they are family, friends, co-workers, neighbors,
or those who help your community be better every single day. So with that being
said let’s talk a little bit about Christmas and some of the popular Christmas
movies. Last holiday season I actually just watched the original 1989 and
classic Griswold’s Christmas family
vacation it was hilarious actually has made me want to consider a few Christmas
trips myself, I love Best Man Holiday as one of my favorites, Just Christmas
(2007) and “The Holiday” (2006) are some of my favorites too. So whenever a
holiday film comes I am ready to see it. So who will be starring in our next
comedic holiday film this Fall/Winter. Get ready because we have an all –star cast
who is extremely multi-talented and have some major acting chops.
Almost Christmas stars a family coming
together for the holidays. The patriarch of the family played by legendary
actor Danny Glover (little note I met Danny back in 2003 in person one of the
sweetest people and down to earth) in case some of my readers don’t know who he
is let’s just name a few of his films, “Color Purple”, “Lethal Weapon” trilogy,
“Beloved”, “Saw Five”, “Dirty Grandpa”, “Dream girls”, and he stars on Criminal
Minds. He has received 4 NAACP Awards, 3 Cable Ace Awards, and an MTV Movie
Award. I cannot wait to see him in a more comedic role because we know he has
tremendous range and go from any role to the next. Next up you know her as one of the original “Queens
of Comedy” the beautiful and hilarious, Mo’Nique!! (“The Parkers”, “Blackbird”,
“Welcome home Roscoe Jenkins”, “Hair Show”, “Precious” and “Two can play that
game”.) she will play the feisty and glamorous, “Aunt May”. Now this person I
haven’t seen in a long time on the big screen but have seen him playing many
other roles. So it’s nice to see his face again actually. Omar Epps, “Juice”, “The
Wood”, Love & Basketball”, “Higher Learning”, “Scream 2”, and “House”. He
will star as one of the patriarch’s children in this film. Also starring in the
film will be Gabrielle Union who you have seen her in films like, “With this
Ring”, “Deliver Us From Eva”, “The Honeymooners”, “Act Like A Lady think Like A
Man 1 and 2”, “The Brothers”. Also starring is John Michael Higgins is starring as well he has appeared in "Happily Divorced:, "and "Attorney At Law"Harvey Birdman". " The film
also stars, Nicole Ari Parker-Kodjoe, “Rosewood”, “Vipaka”, and “Repentance”,
next up is Kimberly Elise who stars on VH-1’s “Hit the Floor” and you’ve seen
her in past films “Set it Off” and “Beloved” you will see her also play one of
Danny’s children the eldest daughter. Also starring he just came off from being
in Barbershop JB Smoove lends his comedic acting chops in Almost Christmas. Now
last but not least are two newcomers to the entertainment game making their
debut on the big screen, “newbies” Jessie T Usher (“Criminal Minds”, “Independence
Day” , and “Survivor’s Remorse”, and lastly, internet personality, DC Young Fly
will star in the film as well. One person I could not forget who will also star in this film is singer/songwriter Keri Hilson who will also make her screen debut this fall as well so look out for her cameo too.
So with that being said who is
going to see this film full of actors who are definitely going to bring this fun
warm family holiday comedic film to theaters on November 11, 2016-Friday visit http://www.almostchristmasmovie.com
