Charles, an attorney, and Helen, his devoted wife, seem to have everything – money, a beautiful mansion – the American Dream. However, as Helen prepares to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary, her life takes an unexpected twist when she comes home to find her clothes packed up in a U-Haul van parked in the driveway. Charles is divorcing her and kicks her out. Helen moves in with her grandmother Madea, an old woman who doesn't take any lip from anyone. Madea helps Helen through these tough times by showing her what is really important in life. Helen is forced to rediscover love, life, and religion in her pursuit for happiness.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie plot summary indicates the central conflict (the divorce and subsequent recovery) revolves around the couple's 18th wedding anniversary, not the Christmas season. There are no explicit mentions of Christmas setting, iconography, or plot drivers related to the holiday."
