I found the beginning a little slow to start, I think this is mainly due to the main character beginning in the USA and the introduction of his ex-girlfriend with no explanation at first. However, once the whole family is introduced this film becomes funny, touching and a great insight to a different culture for me.
I don't know how accurate it is to the British - Caribbean culture but given the cast and from what I have experienced of that culture I believe it is close. I loved the way the family had each other's backs whilst being brutally honest and I thought it was an excellent way to show that in Christmas/Holiday films it's not all perfect families that sit around baking and making ornaments.
I would definitely recommend a watch.
