The Fighting Temptations may not cure the common cold with its FFF (Familiar Feel-Good Formula), but it'll definitely cure what ails you. Here's an unassuming, well-cast comedy drama, filled with forgiving spirit and jubilant gospel music, and its lessons go down as smooth as a mint julep in summertime. Mostly it's just good, harmless fun, beginning when a deceptive corporate ladder-climber (Cuba Gooding Jr.) returns from Manhattan to his southern-fried Georgia hometown to attend the funeral of a beloved aunt, whose will stipulates a reward of $150,000 if he'll direct the local church choir to win a big annual gospel music contest. The outcome is obvious, but veteran comedy director Jonathan Lynn keeps things percolating with casual flair, especially when a lovely lounge singer (Beyoncé Knowles, in a nicely downplayed costarring role) agrees to rejuvenate Gooding's choir, which teams rapping convicts, a boozy barfly (on organ), and bible-thumping prudes. With musical appearances by the O'Jays and the Blind Boys of Alabama, among others, how could this be anything but delightful? --Jeff Shannon

I loved this movie. I have already seen it five times! The singers were fantastic! This movie shows that no matter who you are or where you come from that GOD loves them all and they can be forgiven and it does not matter what color you are because it's for all people. I am getting ready to buy it because every time I rent it it costs me so I may as well purchase it and get it overwith because I already want to see it again! I recommend purchasing this movie.

This is a wonderful, upbeat movie, filled with classic gospel and some modern variations for the younger generation. The acting is great; and the music is extraordinary.
This is a must have movie.

I think most of the criticism for this film is probably accurate, but it's hard to avoid being charmed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Beyonce`. Cuba's cnergy and enthusiasm, coupled with Beyonce`'s musical talent and beauty, cover any thinness in the story, predictability, or editing missteps.
There are so many zany and charming secondary characters in this film that they are hard to keep up with, and each one adds a little depth to the film.
The musical numbers are nearly transfixing. ... Read More

What an awesome movie! Very heartwarming and with great inspirational singing! A wonderful reminder that if you look for the good in people, you will usually find it. It may be a little easier with some than others, but you just have to take the time to care! A+++++++++++++

I really enjoyed this movie. The casting was excellent. It had some of the Best Gospel and R&B singers. Also alot of Good actors & actresses. Even though you might not be a church goer. This is still a nice family movie. It is *HILARIOUS* with a great story line.
