This movie is definitely NOT BORING. Cuba is offthechain hilarious when he's directing the choir, like a crazed lunatic breakdancing, pew hopping, chandelier swinging choir director. Beyonce is amazing, the Ojays are great. The performances are musically and visually captivating. "He still loves me" at the end was a perfect finale. And I am usually hard on movies, but this one was really enjoyable. I bought it to replay the musical sequences. Oh and there is a nice little storyline in there too. and dat gurl look-ted good 2... Oscar worthy? Certainly not. Sweet film? Wholeheartedly yes.
I glanced over some of the negative reviews for this film...just to see what's been said. I couldn't disagree more. To be fair, this film is predictable, unbelievably corny at times, unrealistic perhaps, and does not have the best acting available in Hollywood. But I still give it 4 stars. Why? Because it's such a pleasant, feel good movie with a genuine sweetness to it. When it comes on cable (even though I've seen it numerous times), I can't help but watch it. I love the music, I love the humor (Mike Epps displays his usual comic brilliance) and I love the classic character types (the "holier-than thou" churchlady, the big city type who finds fulfillment in his small hometown, etc.). That said, I have as many highbrow tastes as the next girl. Even though I cherish a first-rate filet mignon, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good, greasy burger every once in a while. :) Love Fighting Temptations
This is a truly wonderful movie in spite of the one dimentional plot line. The music is sensational and inspirational and the actors are having a great time with their performances here. The tone of the movie is definately not R rated so the content is suitable for families. Beyonce does an amazing job being sexy and spiritual and Cuba Gooding Jr. shows off his gymnastic capabilities with ease as well as his ability to poke fun at himself. This is certainly no cinematic wonder nor is it a deep character study with contrasting plot lines - however, just watching Beyonce perform in the choir scenes and listening to the incomparable O'Jays is enough reason to buy this DVD. Just buy it to feel inspired and laugh.
