Fighting Temptations Description
As a young boy growing up in Montecarlo,
Georgia, Darrin sings in the church choir alongside his mother
(Faith Evans). Darrin and his mom leave town after the choir
discovers that she has been singing rhythm and blues in a local
club. Twenty years later, Darrin (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) is a broke,
junior-level advertising executive in New York City who has just
been fired. Summoned back to Montecarlo when his only living
relative dies, Darrin discovers that he stands to inherit her
estate if he can revive the choir at his old church and win the
annual Gospel Explosion. Against the odds, Darrin assembles a
first-rate choir of talented quirky characters. He also recruits
Lilly (Beyoncé Knowles), a jazz singer and single mother who just
may steal his heart and help him find himself. Rich with
impressive musical talent culled from the worlds of Gospel,
hip-hop, and R&B, the choir includes members of The O'Jays, as
well as T-Bone, Melba Moore, Angie Stone, the Reverend Shirley
Caesar, Zane, and Montell Jordan. Directed by Jonathan Lynn, the
film also stars LaTanya Richardson, Steve Harvey, Wendell Pierce,
Mike Epps, and Rue McClanahan.
"...A rousing, warmhearted comedy, as
infectious as the gospel music it celebrates. Cuba Gooding Jr. and
pop superstar Beyonce Knowles lead a large, entertaining cast in a
film abundant with feel-good pleasures..."
"...[Knowles] comes across as warm and
sympathetic..."
"...Full-throated and good-hearted, yet
tart and sharp in all the right places..."
"...[With] rousing gospel numbers....Rich
commingling of singers and character actors and a nice star turn
by multi-Grammy winner Beyonce Knowles keep things
rolling..." |
