This story is just one of those stories that is endearing to us all. Nothing complex and nothing unpredictable. You know exactly how it's going to end and the guy gets his girl. So to make the movie good it must take you on an enjoyable ride along the way. This one does. Cuba Gooding Jr. is good in this movie, but what clicks it up, is the supporting cast is great as well. Not just one or two of them, but the whole cast. When Judy and I went to see this movie, aside from one other couple the theatre was empty. That's sad because this is a great entertaining movie, that I guarantee will leave you smiling as you exit the theatre. And if the non-church going crowd don't embrace it, those who call themselves Christians ought to. Or better yet, it should be playing in churches across the country, because it carries a very simple message that you will have to go to see the movie to get. Make sure you see this move, either in the theatre or on video, but if you wait for video, hopefully you'll have a good sound system or you will loose something.

Storyline From Yahoo: When slick-talking New York City advertising executive Darrin Fox travels back to his small hometown in Georgia to claim the inheritance his aunt Sally left him, he finds he must fulfill her last wish before he can collect -- create a gospel choir and lead it to success. But with a town full of tin ears and a shortage of singers, Darrin is about ready to give up and head back to the city where he belongs…until he runs into Lilly. A beautiful nightclub singer with a voice that could rock the competition at the annual Gospel Explosion, Lilly is just the miracle Darrin is looking for... if he can persuade her to sing.
