Nothing Like the Holidays (2008)
Zu Weihnachten lädt die puertoricanische Clan-Matriarchin Anna Familie und Freunde in ihr schmuckes Häuschen in Chicago. Aus New York kommen Sohn Mauricio und seine Geschäftsdamengattin Sarah, die trotz Ermahnungen immer noch keinen Enkel liefern. Tochter Roxanna eilt aus Hollywood herbei, wo sie gerade in einer Seifenoper ihren ersten Satz sagen durfte, und zu Mamas großer Freude erhielt auch Sohn Jesse im Irak den wohlverdienten Heimaturlaub. Mama hat umwälzende Neuigkeiten, aber erst wird gegessen, gelacht und gestritten.
