Movie Reviews of First Sunday
Movie Review: Glad I purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was hilarious. I watched it on my DVD player while at the Beauty Shop underneath the dryer and laughed so much that people were inquiring as to what I was watching. Normally I have problems with purchasing DVDs on Amazon because sellers are not as truthful about the condition of DVDs as they should be, some even have rewrapped them in shrink wrap to deceive, and they are full of scratches when opened, but this one played flawlessly and was a riot.
I was never a fan of Kat Williams until this movie, but he actually made the movie in my opinion and actually made up for Tracy Morgan's acting skills (he always seems as if he is reading from cue cards). I am going to watch it again this weekend at the Beauty Shop.
I would certainly recommend this DVD to others to purchase, especially if you want a good laugh.
Summary of First Sunday
FIRST SUNDAY (DVD MOVIE)Ice Cube continues his winning streak as a likeable everyman in family movies with First Sunday, an initially silly, disposable comedy that picks up emotional power and authenticity by the second act. Cube plays ne?er-do-well Durell, an out-of-work Baltimore dad who needs over $17,000 to keep his ex from taking their son with her to Atlanta for good. Desperate to raise the cash but hamstrung by his self-defeating attitude and the criminal antics of his goofy sidekick, LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan), Durell gives in to temptation and decides he and LeeJohn should rob a church. The crime goes badly when it turns out a number of parishioners are in the building at the time, and a hostage situation develops. Events take a twist when the would-be thieves become the beneficiaries of Christian charity and forgiveness from the men and women they?ve kidnapped, and a bigger criminal is revealed in the congregation?s mix. A terrific supporting cast including Michael Beach, Chi McBride, Keith David, Malinda Williams, Loretta Devine, and Katt Williams bring strong humor and dignity to the film?s latter half, compensating for some unpleasant missteps (a pointless scene at a massage parlor) earlier in the story. Writer-director David E. Talbert is especially sharp during a spirited, gospel performance scene, which simply crackles on screen. --Tom Keogh
