Merry Christmas from our new favorite family, the Bells! Earlier this year, we became enamored with the UNEQUALLY YOKED series of films, directed by Tijideen Rowley with writing collaboration from Jeannie Preston and Brittany Cherelle Preston. Both are shot in the Indianapolis area and center on a fictional black church community struggling with the everyday problems that could be relatable to any Christians. Several of these characters are the Bells, a loving and caring family with high achieving kids; eldest sister Harmony is a successful lawyer (or so she claims), Derrick is a Harvard student, Cedric used to be a nerd in previous films but he’s been recast as a bodybuilder for some reason, and Shelly is an academically precocious teen. This Christmas, however, all may not be what it seems. Harmony has returned from California to visit her folks, harboring the secret that she quit her job as a lawyer and is now stripping at a club to make ends meet. Throw in some other chaos agents, such as the drunk Auntie Jackie who is determined to spoil the Bells’ perfect Christmas, and we can start to see how even the most perfect-seeming family can break down and forget the reason for the season. A BELL FAMILY CHRISTMAS is genuinely one of the most “normal”, wholesome and competent of the Christian films we’ve ever watched for this podcast. It’s not super dogmatic or judgemental; it acknowledges even the Bells can be sinners, and how can we be better than the Bells, the greatest family of all time?
