From Hollywood.com

Quote:

Synopsis: Darren, a morally vacant and debt-ridden advertising executive in New York, travels back to his small southern town in Alabama to attend his aunt's funeral--and more so, to cash in on an inheritance. However, soon thereafter, he discovers that in order to collect, he must first lead the local church gospel choir to success at a national competition. Desperate for money, Darren embarks on the nearly impossible challenge of turning the choir of lackluster parishioners into Gospel gold. In order to rejuvenate the malaised locals, he searches frantically for the best voices in town and finds them in some unconventional places: the county jail, the barbershop, an R&B dance club, and several points in between. Along the way, he works to win the heart of Terri, a beautiful single mother with a voice of satin, who turns his mission around.

It looks like a lot of fun from the trailers I've seen.

Beyonce is really that triple threat they were looking for on Fame.

This movie looks pretty silly to me. Cuba Gooding Jr has been going down hill ever since he won that Oscar. He's been doing a lot of goofy movies. I was amused with Snow Dogs just because the Sib Huskies (I own won) were the stars.

Anyway, this movie is definitely a thumbs down for me. Sorry, Siso.

Oh i don't care about the movie, it's just about Beyonce LOL. The movie will probably be crappy, it's looks kinda good though.

My wife saw this with friends last night, and everyone enjoyed it. It's not really my wife's "kind of movie", but even she thought it was good.

Based on that, I'd say go see it.

I really liked this movie and the music. I'm looking forward to seeing this one again.
