Almost Christmas Teaser Trailer (2016)

Teaser trailer for Almost Christmas, starring Gabrielle Union, Danny Glover and Nicole Ari Parker .

A new comedy from producer Will Packer and writer/director David E. Talbert, Almost Christmas is the unlikely story of an estranged family that must reunite for their first Christmas since the death of the beloved family matriarch.

Almost Christmas always knew it was going to be a "holiday" film, it just didn't know which holiday. Originally titled A Meyers Thanksgiving, Universal decided that Thanksgiving is always overlooked by Christmas anyway, so changed it to A Meyers Christmas.

Still not good enough, causing the title to be changed once again to what we have today.

The Almost Christmas teaser trailer feels a whole bunch like a trailer, considering it runs for a good 90 seconds and shows plenty of footage from the film. The film was even sure to include a token white guy, and there is no better choice that John Michael Higgins; who is absolutely hilarious in every role he does.

The cast itself is huge and spans generations of actors ranging from Danny Glover down to Jessie Usher. While Almost Christmas is supposed to be a "holiday film", the gags to be had are far from religious. Tons of sex jokes suggest that this is more of a comedy, that just happens to take place near Christmas... or Thanksgiving.
