After being fired, his life is further shaken by his debtors who had counted on paying after landing the account. Having to go on the run, he is called back to his southern town roots, when his great aunt dies. At the reading of the will, he learns he has been asked to assume the mantle of choir director of his great aunt’s church and if he can get the choir in the Gospel Explosion in Atlanta, he will inherit stock worth $150,000. Unfortunately the choir leaves a lot to be desired and he has to start recruiting. Among others, he gets three prisoners to join. More importantly, he gets a “sinner” from one of the local night clubs to join. While initially scorned and resisted, nonetheless her voice wins everyone but the hardcore church busybody..

Likeable gospel music comedy
I got this dvd for free and it’s been sitting in my “watch when nothing better to do” pile. When I finally watched it I was surprised it’s actually a quite fun movie with good acting and a lot of music. The first half was better, then towards the end the momentum slowed down a bit but the movie is short enough to stay interesting. If you like movies such as “Blues Brothers” and especially “Sister Act” you might like this one too.

horribly unlikeable characters
Darrin’s mother Maryann Hill got forced out of the choir by Reverend Lewis (Wendell Pierce) after busybody Paulina Pritchett discovers her R&B singing. Today, Darrin Hill (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is an aggressive marketing junior executive in NYC. He’s a superficial schemer and ashamed of his home town. Darrin is fired for lying about his education and most importantly, getting caught. He’s broke and then gets news that aunt Sally has died. He returns to Monte Carlo, Georgia and finds friendly booty-expert driver Luscious (Mike Epps). In her Will, Darrin is made the director of the choir and if they win, she leaves him stocks worth $150k. He falls for Lilly (Beyoncé Knowles) but she’s been outcast for her sins.

Darrin is a horribly unlikeable character. Cuba is unable to inject the character with any rooting interest. He is not funny. That goes for many of the side characters. Sure the villainous Paulina is ugly but it’s done in a very broad way. Mike Epps is annoying. Most of the supposed comedy is broadly bad. Beyoncé is reasonable and she can sing. The singing is possibly the only true greatness in the film. I would suggest getting the soundtrack rather than the movie.
