There are many good reasons for going to see The Preacher's Wife.

The Preacher's Wife qualifies as old-fashioned Hollywood movie making at its corniest and most saccharine. But the mostly African American cast puts an engaging spin on the chestnut, and it works beautifully.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

For a movie that might have offered a new twist of the mistletoe, The Preacher's Wife delivers the Scrooge-like acceptable market minimum.

The Preacher's Wife is one Christmas picture that actually is in the spirit of the season. It's warm, sentimental, amusing yet serious, bringing fantasy to bear upon the painfully real.

Penny Marshall's remake of The Bishop's Wife is very uneven -- sometimes sweet or soulful, often stiff.

A welcome boost for audiences seeking images of black characters without criminal tendencies.

This movie could have done more, but what it does, it makes you feel good about.
