Dove Review

This engaging story contains several elements and situations that are probably representative of many families at Christmas time. Being able to get away from your day to day life and be part of a large family gathering sometimes is difficult, but the Whitfield’s finally mange to get all together for the first time in four years. Each member has some personal surprises that will truly make this a memorable Christmas. Everyone seems to have some good news and bad but the family pulls together to share their experiences and ultimately try to mend the troubles.

This film can be encouraging to families and has music that will have you tapping your toes. Unfortunately it contains some lifestyle issues and language that prevent us from awarding it our Dove Seal..
