The Fighting Temptations Reviews
This is a bellyaching, foot-stomping, hoot-and-hollering movie for any crowd.

A shamelessly feelgood movie with a lightweight moral theme involving honesty, prejudice and hypocrisy, it narrowly keeps its head above the cliches by virtue of its attractive star and musical numbers.

Great music, mediocre plot and acting.

All about the music, and you'd have to be truly tone-deaf not to respond to its soaring harmonies and spirited spirituality.

You may not be dancing in the aisle, but at least you won't be tempted to flee the theater.

This is an exhilarating musical -- but it's dragged into Thumbs Down territory by a dreadful story that creaks along between the rousing gospel numbers.

You may or may not believe that gospel music saves the soul of an out of work advertising executive, but it saves the movie and that might be enough to make you say "Amen."

The only real question in this flaccid narrative ... is when everybody will stop talking and start singing again.

May not be great cinema, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Has practically nothing to recommend it save its music: Take that away and Jonathan Lynn's movie is as ordinary as an unsold 온라인카지노추천 pilot episode. But what music.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2003
The Fighting Temptations exists for its rousing gospel soundtrack, which is at times so good that you can forgive the movie its flaws.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2003
The music is glorious.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 19, 2003
A woefully thin and pointless musical comedy.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 19, 2003
A messy, sprawling family barbecue of a movie that barely gets by on salesmanship, energy and maybe more than a little chicanery.

A hoot and a holler.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2003
A raucous gospel comedy that's as broad as co-star Beyonce Knowles' vowels and chockablock with foot-stomping, up-with-the-choir music that will have even atheists praising the Lord.

From its exhilarating first scene -- set in a black Southern church -- The Fighting Temptations rocks

A lot more fun than you'd expect for an M온라인카지노추천-produced vehicle for pop diva Beyonce Knowles.
