Plot

The members of the Mansell family—who can be identified without fear of stereotyping as mean mother Lillian, pompous father John, restless daughter China, and virginal son Japan —prepare for the holiday feast with the help of their saintly maid Margaret and their mouthy chef Hattie. Eager to impress China's super-rich beau/presumed fiancé Bobby, Lilian forces Margaret to work on Christmas instead of celebrating with her family. So China secretly invites the whole disreputable brood: Madea, Aunt Bam, and grown children Lucy, George, and Eric. China was once in love with Eric; his reappearance lets her rethink her relationship with Bobby.
