Genre : Comedy, TV Movie

Runtime : 1H 20M

Director : Lance Kawas

Synopsis

Royalty in name and mind only, the Royal family led by patriarch Leighton and matriarch Alfreda, kick-off the first film, Royal Family Thanksgiving, with a fake break-up ruse to lure their overly-busy children home for Thanksgiving. Surprises and challenges ensue, including drama with Alfreda's envious sister Mona Levi; the revelation of a deep, dark family secret involving Alfreda's former acquaintance Chivonne Price; and dealings with Leighton's super-loud, outspoken cousin Nelson Royal. Unfortunately, Leighton and Alfreda both play their roles too well as old wounds are re-opened and their carefully planned reunion leads to chaos - and a potentially real break-up.
