Merry Ex-Mas

For reasons revealed later in the film, a beautiful single mother named "Katrina Jackson" (Angell Conwell) doesn't particularly enjoy Christmas and goes out of her way to avoid holiday celebrations. Her ex-husband, "DeMarco Gamble" (London Brown), however, loves Christmas and wants to spend as much time as possible with their young daughter, "Tiffany" (Maci Wilson), during the holiday season. He also enjoys sharing an intimate Christmas Eve with her every year, even though neither of them truly intends to reconcile afterward. Unfortunately, she is somewhat upset with him and has canceled their yearly plans. However, she quickly changes her mind when she finds out he is dating an equally attractive young woman named "Vilisa Whitaker" (Faune Chambers Watkins). It's only after he rejects Katrina that she becomes obsessed with ruining the happiness they seem to share. I will just say that this film had both good and bad points; on the plus side, I thought Angell Conwell played her role almost perfectly. On the other hand, although this film was billed as a comedy, I didn't see much humor here at all. If anything, it's more of a feel-good romance movie, but even then, it suffers to some degree. Additionally, aside from Angell Conwell and perhaps Faune Chambers Watkins, the acting wasn't that good, largely because of the weak script, in my opinion. In any case, while I certainly don't consider this a great movie by any means, I also wouldn't call it terrible, and I've rated it accordingly.

I could not NOT write a review for this movie and save someone from watching this. The premise was ok, the pace of the movie wasn't spectacular, but there was some serious laziness in the writing and the resolution of the story. Wish I could take back my time.

Words can't describe how convoluted and awful this movie is. Awful. Very mixed up, thrown together plot. I don't get how this has a 6.1/10 score. It should have no more than 3/10. Don't let the description fool you - there is nothing "mild-mannered" about the single mother, the parents definitely should not be described as "loving"... the pace of the movie is alllll off and the multiple plot lines are not tied together... it's simply dumb.
