About Johnson Family Christmas Dinner
The Johnson clan returns for this heartfelt yuletide drama that finds the individual family members struggling with a surfeit of issues. While the conceited Sam obnoxiously flaunts his success before brother Robert, Robert himself grapples with alcoholism. Meanwhile, Candy shocks the more traditional family members by inviting her vegan boyfriend to dinner, and Aunt Michelle buckles beneath the weight of loneliness and prays aloud for a man to come into her life. These events and others all add up to a bittersweet mixture of humor and pathos, laced with Christian sentiments.
Directed by Eurika Pratts, Johnson Family Christmas Dinner leans on a strong ensemble — Sid Burston, Lynne Conner Smith, Jerard Jones — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
