Our final holiday film of 2021 is A Madea Christmas. I made a promise to myself to never watch a Madea movie, and Hope has made me break that promise. 

A "collection of scenes" joined by strange PowerPoint-esque wipe transitions of Christmas trees,  wreaths, and candy canes, A Madea Christmas takes place at a modern day one-room schoolhouse/small-town mayor's office and a family "farm" that is really just a house and a cow.

Find out what we think about the Madea character, who the villain of the piece is, and what the expression "joined the circus" means.
