This is a predictable, but decent lifetime movie. If you were to drink every time you heard the word praline or pralines, you would be drunk within 20 minutes. They say it a lot. I'm sure if I search Google, there will be somebody who actually counted. It's worth the watch just for Miss Patti LaBelle herself and Ms. Rudy Huxtable all grown up was a treat.

The chemistry on screen cannot be denied. The cast works well and forms a true little family. Is there some overacting? Absolutely? Does it bother me? Absolutely not. Within minutes you're transported to New Orleans at Christmas time. I'm here for it. Well worth a watch.
