Plot: Director Jonathan Lynn followed up the surprise hit The Whole Nine Yards with this musical comedy starring Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. Gooding plays Darrin, a shallow New York advertising executive, who travels to a small town in the deep south upon receiving word that his aunt has passed away and left him a sizable inheritance. But once Darrin gets into town, he is informed that he will only receive the money if he successfully leads a local gospel group to victory at an upcoming competition. Reluctant but strapped for cash, Darrin takes on the task of finding the best singers in town and shaping the group up. Along the way, he becomes acclimated to the town with the help of his cousin Lucius (Mike Epps) and meets Lilly (Beyoncé Knowles), a single mother who not only possesses an incredible voice but also the ability to warm Darrin's cold heart. Along with Knowles, the supporting cast features a number of other real musicians, including Faith Evans, Melba Moore, Angie Stone, Montell Jordan, and The O'Jays. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Very inspiring movie

I loved this movie. I have already seen it five times! The singers were fantastic! This movie shows that no matter who you are or where you come from that GOD loves them all and they can be forgiven and it does not matter what color you are because it's for all people. I am getting ready to buy it because every time I rent it it costs me so I may as well purchase it and get it overwith because I already want to see it again! I recommend purchasing this movie.

This is a wonderful, upbeat movie, filled with classic gospel and some modern variations for the younger generation. The acting is great; and the music is extraordinary.

This is a must have movie.

Fun characters and great music
Added 3/8/2008

I think most of the criticism for this film is probably accurate, but it's hard to avoid being charmed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Beyonce`. Cuba's cnergy and enthusiasm, coupled with Beyonce`'s musical talent and beauty, cover any thinness in the story, predictability, or editing missteps.

There are so many zany and charming secondary characters in this film that they are hard to keep up with, and each one adds a little depth to the film.

The musical numbers are nearly transfixing. By far, they are the highlight of the film, which showcases a number of worthy talents.

Also very valuable (and sadly, rare) this is a film that the whole family can watch, relate to, and enjoy. There are lots of good messages about forgiveness, acceptance, teamwork, humility, etc. that would be valuable for humankind in general.

Lots of laughs, great stars, good messages, good pacing, amazing musical numbers...what's not to like? Highly recommended for the whole family.

What an awesome movie! Very heartwarming and with great inspirational singing! A wonderful reminder that if you look for the good in people, you will usually find it. It may be a little easier with some than others, but you just have to take the time to care! A+++++++++++++
