- “Christmas in Compton” has a bit of an antiquated take on the record business, but its charms lie in its humor, not its business acumen. It helps that the jokes aren’t cheap. There is the token funny Korean (an amusing Charles Kim), and Tommy, of course, is the evil white guy, but mostly Raynr’s comedy is race-neutral and pretty sharp.

Honest review of Christmas in Compton. I believe that David Raynr tried to sincerely craft a film that honored the values of family, hard work and integrity over the quick buck. I believe he wanted to see positive black role models in his film, while also creating something that he hoped would find an audience.
