Charlie Murphy plays the big-time famous rapper J-Jizzy, a man
who talks about the meaning of love and family in front of the
cameras, but behind the scenes is all about money and fame. No
wonder he and Nancy (Gabrielle Union) couldn't make it as a
couple.

About the
movie
The first African American ensemble comedy for the Christmas
season, The Perfect Holiday stars Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut,
Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Malik Hammond, Charlie Murphy,
Faizon Love, Jeremy Gumbs, Jill Marie Jones, and Rachel True.
Nancy (Union) is a divorced mother of three who is so busy raising
her children that she's forgotten to take care of herself as well.
With Christmas fast approaching, she decides to take her kids to
the mall to meet Santa Claus, not knowing that her youngest
daughter Emily (Khail Bryant) has sensed her mother's sadness and
is determined to use her time with Santa to make her mom happy
again. Just a few days prior, Emily heard her mom say that all she
wanted for Christmas was a compliment from a man, so that's exactly
what she tells Santa. Ironically, Santa, as it turns out, is
struggling songwriter Benjamin (Chestnut), who ends up giving Nancy
just what she wants for Christmas, and much, much more.
