Praise This

Gospel Pitch Perfect.

It was a cute movie. Great soundtrack and fun cast. Girl is forced to move to ATL. Hates it. But her perky cousin starts bringing her to church/choir group. They're the underdogs and their captain won't allow their style to change.

As they get to their first comp the Captain decides to switch teams to their biggest competitor in an off attempt to sabotage them. New girl starts free styling about god and boom they place and move on.

Obviously it keeps going from there.

Definitely give it a watch. Like I stated the soundtrack is good. Quavo had a small part in it but not too bad.

Praise This

Pitch Perfect meets Church and you get Praise This. This is a feel good movie meant to instill faith, but it doesn't deliver this in an overbearing manner where you feel faith is being shoved down your throat.

The first half of the movie was cringey, but it progressively got better. The acting is good, and Chloe Bailey shines, showing she can Sing (I mean, we all knew she can, but she came to reinforce that point), act and dance.

The plot could have been better, and the dialogues needed a more natural feel, but overall, Praise This stays true to being a feel good movie about singing and faith.

6/10.

Chloe stole the show. This movie shows how talented she is, with an ability to act, sing, and dance like her mentor (Beyoncé). The movie is a journey through faith where the character Chloe plays has some trials and tribulations she must sort through. And just like many us, when we first turned the corner to get on the right track, we may have made a mistake or two. In this movie, Chloe stole the show. Literally. You have to watch the show yo catch it. But this is a good movie for the entire family. I also enjoyed the cameo appearances of some of the gospel greats of this era (Ms. Carr & Ms. Hawthorne). It's a movie that mirrors life. Broken people in search of a perfect God. Save the judgment for King Jesus.

I'm starting to think people who write reviews on this site don't actually see the movies and let their biases put something down on blast. This makes the reason why some reviews tends to be negative. Not sure why that is when a majority of movies hit the streaming service these days at the same time they hit theaters. Otherwise they'll hit in a few weeks but point is, no reason to lie about something. This movie is available to stream on Peacock and it's pretty decent. In fact, it's good enough to to hit theaters and is far more entertaining than a lot of what's been released as of the date of this writing.

The story revolves around a young girl sent to live with her aunt and uncle after the death of her mother. The family is God fearing and active members of their community church. At first there's some resistance here on her part as this is all new to her but with some encouragement from a higher calling and bonding with her cousin, she becomes the newest member of the church choir. This is pretty much a simple story of inner city kids using their talents to praise God. Soon they find themselves competing for a national choir competition and along the way the ride was actually pretty good. I'd say this movie is along the lines of Sister Act and Pitch Perfect where there's complex characters we actually care about and want to see them succeed. There's some decent music here that I found myself getting into and good story about family and friendship. As of 4/7/23, it's streaming on Peacock and I have to say, it's a lot better than some of the movies in theaters at this very moment. Plus, this is a guaranteed good time.

I love the fact that it clears up the concept that if your saved your perfect and a hypocrite if you mess up. The fact that it used a song platform for this was a great way to show that God can use anyone to carry out his will. Sometimes when we are being used by God we may not have a relationship at first, but eventually he touches every persons heart in someway to show them the path to accepting his love for us. Repentance comes at times we least expect it! The movies is a feel good movie yes, so the critics will never site this as a good movie but it was and I'm sure if you watch it you will too!
