Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Johnson Family Dinner is a story about the Johnson Family. Everyone Sunday, in many cultures, is a time to get together and feast. Sunday is the day to let go of some of life's most stressful circumstances. This film explores the relationships of one family, and the strong bond that keeps them together. Momma and Dad are the pillars of the family. Their undying love has fed the spirits of their children and their grandchildren. Alex is the oldest. She and her husband Sam have four children. She and Sam opened a restaurant that was pretty unsuccessful and needless to say Sam is a little bitter about it. Lisa is the middle child. Shes still single and searching for "Mister Right". Robert Jr. (the youngest) and his wife just had a new baby, and success is abundant and ever flowing in their home. Money Mike (the blacksheep of the family) always is in a mess of a situation. Sunday dinner is like youve never seen it before when they all come together. Johnson Family Dinner will make you laugh and cry. It will warm your soul just like any dinner, for any occasion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rollercoaster of emotion, complex family relationships, March 10, 2008
By C. Bridgeforth (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I went into this movie expecting something like Soul Food meets Ma Dear's Family Reunion, but what I found instead was a story about a family that centers on its matriarch, who is not domineering but loving, a father who is wise but strong and siblings who seem to function more as friends or neighbors than as a close-knit unit. Then there is Robert and his up-and-down/on-again off-again love-hate relationship with his wife. There are some editing issues and I question the film's ending. Overall, some very different editing choices would have highlighted the talents of the experienced actors more and would have made this a much more compelling story. It is a good conversation starter for families dealing with a series of complex issues, where "just pray about it" is not the only answer. A movie the entire family can enjoy together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay, June 26, 2008
I was able to watch the movie in one sitting, but it wasn't a good quality film, it was low budget and it looked more like someone filmed it with their home video instead of a motion picture camera.

The story line was okay, I can't say I would recommend anyone to buy this movie. I would say rent it or bowrrow it from a friend who has it.
