Delight Scottsdale (Kendra Rainey-King, who also wrote this movie; she's written more than fifty books as well as another movie, Knee Deep) lost her mother while she was being born and has gone through foster homes into a life on her own, struggling every step of the way, seeking a family of her own.
Nearly all of Rainey-King's books seemingly have a plus sized girl overcoming the odds and becoming a confident big queen by the end. It's right there in the intro to all of her novels - including The Blacker the Berry, the Sweeter the Juice which is read by one of the characters in the film, which is wild because it's product placement for an author's book in the middle of said author's auteur project and I have never seen a thing like this in my life - like the sales copy for this story, which says, "Delight isn't your normal plus size girl. She is a shy girl from Texas who came to college with a dollar and a dream, until she meets the best man possible, Ashton, who opens all of the right doors for her, and her legs."
Damn, girl.
More than just a booty call on Christmas - I mean, do it, Santa is resetting the list - Delight is in love with Ashton (Draper Wynston) who ends up being an African King whose mother doesn't want anything to do with the new American in his life.
Somehow, it seems simple, but this movie is two hours and twenty-five minutes long, complete with call and response squads of SSBBW dancers, some wearing gold masks. It's like Crash in that this has a huge cast and intertwining tales and man, it was a movie I couldn't stop watching even when I paused it and realized there were ninety minutes remaining when I was certain that there couldn't be anything else.
This movie is very uplifting and also filled with love scenes with songs playing in them with titles like "Cum Here" by Honey Banks, "Picture Yo Body" by 3 Piece, "Roll Me Up" by Fat Pimp and "Touch It" by DSVN. Judging by the credits, this has a cast of thousands in it.
Obviously, I'm ready for everything else that director Lakisha Avery Stewart and Kendra Rainey-King make. This is not a Christmas movie other than one scene, but it was a gift to me.
