twillis600-152-449978 ****Spoiler Alert**** We have so many comedies that are simply idiotic, ex: National Lampoons! But what makes a movie substantive is when it has a deeper meaning than simply being stupid. This movie tells the tale of life in urban America and I understand, people that have only affiliated themselves with suburbia, can't grasp the depths this movie takes viewers. 1. Depicts a man trying to live on the straight and narrow, even though he has made bad decisions, he's now trying to overcome. 2. He has a volitile relationship with his childs mother who is also financially struggling. 3. Depicts the importance of the church in urban America. Comedically, depicts issues, characters and personalities in the church most are familiar with. 4. Then, it takes the viewer on a journey of what a "Father" is willing to do, to protect his relationship with his child. It also breaks the stereotypical ideas of fatherhood in urban America. I challenge the reviewers that gave the show a bad review to re-watch the movie and look for more than just laughter, lighting effects, the movie set etc. Look for the deeper meaning of the movie...there's more there!

lastliberal The Eagles were thumping the Cowboys and the Jaguars wanted us to watch them lose again instead of letting us see Miami beat the Jets, so I checked out this film knowing that I probably wouldn't like it.Now, I was totally satisfied watching Malinda Williams (Idlewild, "Soul Food") trying to keep from spilling out of that form fitting outfit she had on for the entire 96 minutes, so it wasn't a total waste.Other than that, it relied too heavily on stereotypical humor and "Jesus is the answer to all your problems" thinking. Even Jesus doesn't have enough jobs to keep everyone happy, even if they managed to get more than a little education.But, there is always Malinda to save the day.

MLDinTN This movie was not entertaining in the least. It was quite bad, but I wouldn't call it one of the worst films I've seen. In this movie, Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan play two semi losers, whom keep getting in trouble with the law. Cube's ex is planning to move his son out of state because she can't afford the house payments. She owes thousands. Cube comes up with a brilliant idea to rip of a church to pay her bills to keep his son close by. He gets help with his rather dysfunctional partner, Morgan, whom one could call Tweedle Dumb. They hold some of the church members hostage only to find out someone has already stolen money from the church. They try to find out who has the money while trying not to feel so guilty talking to his son. As one would expect, the two realize ripping of a church is not such a good idea and it takes a lot of friends to get off on hostage charges. Is the money found, does Cube get to keep his son nearby. I say who cares because this movie has no surprising twists.FINAL VERDICT: Terrible, don't know how it even got made.

Vincent Cadena First Sunday is about two losers played by Ice Cube and Tracey Morgan. The two guys go through life getting in trouble with the law again and again. The courtroom scenes feature a white prosecutor and a black female defense attorney, there's one funny moment between them in the first courtroom scene. Ice Cubes character tries to do good but Tracey Morgan keeps getting them into trouble, so in this clique ridden film what happens? They need to get money to buy themselves out of trouble and to stop Ice Cubes kid from moving. They decide to steal it from a church, thats when the movie finally takes off, halfway through the movie. Katt Williams is funny but he tries too hard. It becomes a whodunit for a few minutes. Long story short, the Deacon of the church was stealing the money anyways, so the Judge lets Morgan and Cube go, they reform blah blah blah. OK, I thought it could've been a lot funnier, it was too preachy and unoriginal. It really seemed like a Christian movie, which is who it was made for the Tyler Perry fan base. Williams, Morgan and Cube have all been better, this was a letdown and a waste of 5 bucks. If you're a bud head or a Christian you might like it. If you're a Republican or a Cineast you'll probably hate it.
