December 29, 2007My favorite line is when Darrin's cell phone rings in church and the pastor tells him: "Son, if that ain't Jesus calling, shut it off."

August 3, 2009A good movie, but nothing that hasn't been done before. I also found Gooding to be an unusual choice for this, but he made it work.

July 27, 2009Gooding Junior was awful, but I waded through it just because of Beyonce. Beyonce and her voice give this film 2 stars from me.

July 4, 2009Uma boa comédia que me surpreendeu pela qualidade da história. Imperdível para quem gosta de música gospel americana.

A woefully thin and pointless musical comedy. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A lot more fun than you'd expect for an MTV-produced vehicle for pop diva Beyonce Knowles. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The Fighting Temptations is not brilliant and it has some clunky moments where we see the plot wheels grinding, but it has its heart and its grin in the right places. full review

March 6, 2007The movie is somewhat of a comedic love story/ musical. This is a really good movie for you if you like musicals or gospel music. If you don't, then don't watch the movie.
