Nancy (Gabrielle Union) has had her hands full raising three kids alone since her divorce from J-
them, she’s ended up overburdened and neglecting her own needs.
This state of affairs hasn’t been lost on her youngest, Emily (Khail Bryant), who whispers to Santa
Claus a Christmas wish for a man to make her mom happy again. What the little girl doesn’t know is
that Benjamin (Morris Chestnut), the mall Santa whose lap she’s sitting in, just happens to be a very
handsome hunk underneath the fake beard and red fat suit. More importantly, he’s available and
instantly smitten as soon as he looks over and gets a load of Nancy.
The problem is that Benjamin is just seasonal help and, after Christmas, he’ll be back at his more
mundane job as an office supply salesman, although he does dream of becoming a famous
songwriter. So, even after he does summon up the courage to approach Nancy in street clothes at
the cleaners, he’s still suffers from low self esteem, he hightails it out of the store before she can
respond.
Thus unfolds the underlying premise established at the outset of The Perfect Holiday, one of those
syrupy sweet romantic comedies which keeps a pair of lovebirds obviously meant for each other
apart via a series of frustrating circumstances. In this case, the flies in the ointment are Benjamin’s
shyness, Nancy’s cluelessness, her son, John-John’s (Malik Hammond), attempt to sabotage the
relationship, and her ex’s interference, too.
Despite a supporting cast with Katt Williams, Faizon Love, Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard, the
picture belongs to Gabrielle Union and Morris Chestnut, who certainly generate the romance genre’s
requisite chemistry.
I saw mommy kissin’ Santa Claus, ghetto style.
