Critics and bigoted heartless snobs be damned ("I made a face at the trailer"...go ahead and deny yourself a delightful film ...it is YOUR loss!).
First off ...I am not a fan of holy roller religious-y movies...have no affiliation...and no deep convictions at all. I came to this film hoping for some nice music and a chance to see two very talented actresses who have been ill used by film in the past...and was expecting very little due to the snide reaction this film received when it was dumped in January.
To say I was very surprised by the films beauty, heart, humanity, and yes, soul is putting it mildly.
Latifah and Dolly are sensational...the numbers are brilliant and beautifully executed...the script is full of unexpected depth and nuance....
To my eyes this is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable films of the year...I hope a few open minded people give it a chance on disc!
