Something to Sing About

Great movie It really touched me it brings you closer to Jesus and teaches you about his acceptance of you no matter what you have done, it teaches you about his love and care. It brings you close to home and makes you think if Jesus can forgive me for my sins, I can forgive others about what they have done! It's a happy and joyous film full of faith growth and love!!!!!!! it also contains many talented gifted stars such as Tamara mowary and darius mccury and kirk franklin! and it's about God's plans for you! it teaches you not to live for self if Jesus has a plan for you than it will come around a 2nd time if he wants you to have it! it teaches you to let God's will for your life be known for you not you tell God your will for your life! it's a film everyone should see and more people should support and make more films like these!!! for all to see and enjoy May God bless and Keep you all- HarleyQuinn1

I agree that some Christian films are seriously lacking in artistic excellence. I also agree that some can be preaching to the choir, as someone on this board previously mentioned. "Something to Sing About" may be viewed by certain individuals as "Nothing to Write Home About." But...I wonder...MUST every Christian film be made solely for the purpose of reaching its viewers with a life-changing message? I am the first person to advocate reaching out to people, and I happen to know that "Something to Sing About" was shown in a public setting during an outreach in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, several years ago. I also happen to own the film and, in spite of what some may say, I believe this movie has "stepped it up" in Christian film-making compared to the quality of some I've seen in the past. Using well-known actors such as Irma Hall, Tamara Mowry, and Darius McCrary gave, I believe, a higher level of credibility to the film, compared to some others that have used unknown actors. The quality of the music by Anointed and others, also showed excellence in my book. I'd never be ashamed - rather, I'd be proud - to show this film to various guests in my home. Furthermore, if we want to call this "poor film-making" - I suggest you take a look at some of the "made for TV" movies on Lifetime and other channels. Do you really think some of their "happily ever after" endings supersede the quality of reality given on "Something to Sing About"? I beg to differ. What about some of the holiday movies recently released? I can tell you, for example, "Christmas With the Cranks" was not exactly Hollywood's finest quality! How many ways can you try to create a fresh Christmas idea for a movie? Yet people still watch and enjoy them simply because, whether we want to admit it or not, we tend to LIKE some things that are corny! Why? Simply because we tie them to nostalgic moments in our lives, or give them any meaning we want.

I saw this on a Christian channel and thought wow I didn't know that Carl's Son from Family Matters could sing so well! lol. The acting in this movie is decent and the plot moves along nicely, with a few twists and turns. Someone wrote: "This is a somewhat hokey religious movie..." and then wrote "...Highlighting it all, however, is the sparkling Tamera Mowry....She is not just attractive, but there is a glow emanating from her that one feels she is not acting, that she is genuinely this bubbly, charming, loving person." Hello!!! It's that hokey religion you were talking about that makes her like that. All theology aside, it's a great story about love, but not just any love, God's love. Watch it! Great story, great singing!

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!

I recorded this movie on a video when it came on TV for the second time. The characters endeared themselves to me(especially "Tommy" and "G Smooth") and after wearing out the video I went and purchased the DVD. And, so as not to wear out the DVD (just trying to listen to the great sound track) I bought the CD as well. As a Christian, this movie really appealed to me. It has drama, romance, comedy, and spirituality without all the foul language, blood and guts, nudity, and sexual references from beginning to end that overshadow a lot of secular films with good plots. Unfortunately, these negative aspects are the things many viewers have become conditioned to and even a standard by which they tend to judge other movies. Perhaps "Sing" doesn't have the best dialogue, direction, or editing but I had no problem overlooking these things because basically it was a good story that an entire family could watch. I'd definitely recommend this movie to the newly saved and no doubt to those so-called "tough" young men who find themselves being touched by the love of God in ways they never expected. This movie had a lot of heart...something the Bible says God looks at. I give "Something To Sing About" five stars. I think He would, too!
