I saw this movie last night. I was getting ready to go out yesterday when I started watching it. I was so much into the movie that before I left the hous. I had to tivo it to watch when I got back home. It was a really really good movie. I thought the cast were all brilliant and the script was good as well. I was shocked when my husband sat down to watch it as well. He's not into dramatic movies but he actually said that the acting was pretty good and believable. This is definitely one that I would recommend to watch. I was amazed to see Ving Rhames act in this role. He's great. Alfre Woodward as always is excellent. I'm surprised that I did not hear about this movie before.

Caught this movie on the Black Entertainment Network whileflipping channels. It was a pleasant surprise!!! Entertaining! Funnyand heart tugging all at once.When a young girl cries for help for her mom who is being beatenup by her boyfriend, the only one to help is a drag queen--HolidayHeart-- who packs a punch. He befriends the duo taking them tohis home and they become a family in spite of their differences.All is well until another man comes along putting a rift between themother and Holiday. Then Drugs pull the mom away from thefamily.I found Holiday;s need for a family heartbreaking and truthful--andit was an incredible portrayal. Also great are Alfre Woodward andthe young girl.There are a couple of holes in the plot but this story of a dragqueen with a heart of gold really packs an emotional wallop. Whata sleeper. Highly recommended

Ving Rhames does it again! Ving shows his diversification as a brilliant actor in this role. Alfe Woodard at her best too! And Mykelti Williamson, is the bomb (as usual). A great screenplay, with great actors; realistic. Mandatory viewing for anyone who thinks they might have a drug problem or has a relative or friend with a drug problem!

Upon seeing "Holiday Heart" last night, I was left with a heartwarming feeling. A slightly unusual Christmas tale, but very well done. As in any movie, there were certain parts that were less than realistic (Social Services would've been all over this situation) and I would've liked to have seen a little more development of the relationship between all the characters, but as I usually say, I don't watch movies for reality, I watch them for entertainment or escape. I'll watch A&E, Discovery, and The Learning Channel for reality television.The always-enjoyable Ving Rhames looked a little uncomfortable portraying a drag queen at first, but was impressively camping it up by the end of the film. There was a fine supporting cast as well, especially the exceptional Alfre Woodard as the mother who struggles with her drug addiction. Jesika Reynolds did a fine job in this role as the heartbroken daughter, and Mykelti Williamson was excellent as usual as Silas. Kudos to Robert Townsend for a lovely and slightly surprising story.All in all, if you have a chance to watch this movie, I highly recommend it! You've got to give Ving Rhames credit for being in full drag on stage lip-synching "Baby love, my baby love..." Showtime delivers another "No Limits" performance.
