A touching portrait of an extraordinary man

This film tells the story of a man who is hired for six months to take care of a woman with cancer and her young daughter. His job is to cook for them, yet he goes way beyond his duties and touches the lives of people around him.

"Mr Church" is an ordinary film without special effects and fancy sets. It stays true to the life of an ordinary hard working man, yet his life is so extraordinary in so many ways. He is multi talented, amiable humble and polite all the time. Mr Church is so likable, that in fact he could be a role model for people. The things he does for the family, without ever asking for anything back, is applaudable. It is a celebration of good qualities of an extraordinary man. Let this film earn your heart.

Excellent movie

I am so sad that this movie hasn't been advertised like other movies. I happen to find it on a whim. In this crazy world, this movie helps you remember that there are still good people who truly care, who are selfless. Eddie Murphy deserves an Oscar and so does the movie. I wasn't familiar with the young lady who acted with him. The character Charlotte

showed acceptance, love, hope and friendship. What a true friend really is and should be. This movie sees past racial lines and shows love. Best movie I have seen this year. It pulls at your heart strings. It is a must see.

Sweet and authentic

Mr. Church is sweet and authentic from the first word to the last. It is well-paced and devoid of drag with steller performances turned out by all players. Mr. Church demonstrates that while we may be on a linear path from birth to death, within that trajectory are full circle loops taking us from one gestalt to the next. It reminds us too how we make a difference in the lives of others and they in ours. Mr. Church was Eddy Murphy's movie to deliver and that he did. Unlike books which are meant to be read from beggining to end, sometimes the stories are better understood when we start from the end and work our way back.

If there was ever a time the critics were wrong!!

Then this is it.

I seriously do not know what film the critics were watching but, this is an absolutely fantastic film. You will see a performance from Eddie Murphy you haven't seen since Dreamgirls. In fairness, I think his performance in this film is a country mile better so, If you enjoyed him in Dreamgirls, You will be floored by his acting in this film.

Its an actual crime he got no Academy nomination for this film.

No spoilers here. I implore you to give this film a view. Emotions you thought you might have lost, will all of a sudden come back to you.

If you are still reading this review .....Why? Go watch Mr Church right now!

Yes - a good movie, actually - a VERY good movie

I guess I have come full circle when it comes to Eddie Murphy movies. It was 1984, I was a newly wed and Eddie was a slightly racy movie star, but, perfect for a couples evening at the cinema! And we cried with laughter. I would never have believed that some 30 plus years later I would be watching an Eddie Murphy movie and crying in a different way. This is a fairly simple movie, easy to follow, no special effects, just the type of movie Hollywood used to do so well. I guess there is still hope. Along with Eddie there are a couple of known actors,no spoiler alert - but Eddie has aged very well! Full circle - I watch movies on my own now..

Eddie Murphy replaced Samuel L. Jackson, who was meant to play Mr. Church first.

When Mr. Church gives Charlie the envelope of cash, Andrew Jackson's picture appears to be on the $50 bills. Jackson is on the $20, it should have been Ulysses S. Grant for the $50 bill.
