Something to Sing About

This is a somewhat hokey religious movie, with generally excellent production values and very good acting.

Highlighting it all, however, is the sparkling Tamera Mowry. That young woman is so luminous, she alone makes this movie worth watching, more than once.

She is not just attractive, but there is a glow emanating from her that makes one feel she is not acting, that she is genuinely this bubbly, charming, loving person.

She is the centerpiece around which everything and everybody else revolves. She is a marvelously talented performer, and I hope all the producers realize it so she will be around for many decades to come.

Added in June of 2016: This movie is available at YouTube. I hope you watch it.

A very sad attempt at filmmaking. I've always been amazed at how little quality there is in any "Christian" film productions. In a way, it's insulting. Scripts poorly written with very little intelligence, poorly acted, terrible production values and shot as if by a student filmmaker. I know, I've made some bad student films.

Director Charlie Jordan ( I ), is new at this. Everybody has a turkey now and then, even Mr. Hitchcock, so Mr. Jordan is in good company.

This film, like so many other "Christian" films, seems to be saying, our message is so heavenly minded we don't have to try and be any earthly good. If this film is trying to hold an audience, that audience is already Christian. This is just preaching to the choir, and poorly.

If you want to look at a film with a Christian message, I highly recommend: "Places In The Heart", 1984 starring Sally Field, who took home the Oscar for her performance. "Tender Mercies", 1983, starring Robert Duvall, who also won an Oscar for his work.

Bottom line, Christians need to grow up before they start making movies. They need to remember that the church was the standard for art.. a long time ago. Bach, Mozart, Handel, Michelangelo... not a bad bunch. It was all about the work. Just because you're doing something for God, (spreading the Gospel), does NOT mean you can take short cuts on quality. On the contrary... you should at least try to stand on the shoulders of giants.

I'm a Christian. I've worked in the film industry for 15 years.

This movie was wonderful!! I encourage all people whether Christian or not to view this movie, it might just change your life. I really enjoyed the cast, especially Darius McCrary!! Who knew he could sing like that!! It's a great family movie that will draw everyone closer to Christ. I recommend it to all!

This is a great movie! It may not have shown the realities of the street and two people falling in love, but it does show how God's love changes people!! I liked how it showed Darius McCrary go from one extreme to another. It is a true inspiration to those who don't think that they have something to sing about!

I thought this was a really good movie. It's true that it was a little corny, but it was a nice story and for a small production and good acting and excellent production, filming, etc. Tamera Mowery, Irma Hall and Darius McCrary were great. Their characters were believable and their portrayal was excellent. I even noticed and a familiar face from "Eight is Engough." I wish more studios would take the time to make movies like this rather than the garbage that's usually out there. If you're in the mood for a good story without a lot of sex and bad language, you should check this movie out. It is a good movie for families and gives you a lot of things to discuss.
