I'm Glad It's Christmas

At its core, "I'm Glad it's Christmas" is a light, entertaining Christmas Rom-Com, full of cliché and recycled story lines that we've seen before, reasonably well done -- something I would normally rate as 6/10, if I watched it.

And then there's Gladys Knight in her supporting role, which even includes a small singing part.

As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats, and Gladys Knight is certainly the tide that rises, lifting the performances of the main and supporting actors, while giving greater meaning and a unique feel to the overall story.

For me, Gladys Knight lifts the entire production, and makes for good holiday entertainment.
