‘Holiday Rush’

‘Holiday Rush’ — ‘Holiday Rush’ is a new holiday movie that begins streaming on Netflix on Nov. 28. The synopsis for the movie reads: ‘Popular New York radio DJ Rush Williams (Romany Malco) has been spoiling his four children since they lost their mom (La La Anthony). Unfortunately, the kids share their pricey Christmas lists right when he loses his job. To keep Rush on the air, his producer Roxy Richardson (Sonequa Martin-Green) and his Aunt Jo (Darlene Love) plan to help him buy another station — if the Williams family can downsize fast and embrace a simpler life. In this heartwarming film, a loving father reconnects with his children and opens his heart to love when they all learn that true joy comes from not what you have but who you have around you.’ The movie was directed by Leslie Small.
