First Sunday Umm It
was Good ***(Three Stars)
First Sunday started off very slow, but eventually sucked me
in with all the quips and funny comments. In the end I
could not help but fall for these characters. After all had
been said and done this story left me with a soft and warm
feeling in my heart. Director
David E. Talbert was
most successful in reminding me what a true Christian is: a
person that loves and accepts and forgives.
Yes this film moved at a glacial pace in the beginning,
however instead of leaving I stayed to watch what kind of a
conundrum this all star cast would make. First Sunday
features some of the biggest names in African American
Entertainment such as
Ice Cube,
Loretta Devine (who
captured our hearts in
Waiting to Exhale),
Tracy Morgan (who
gained fame in the TV series
SNL: The Best of Tracy Morgan,) Regina
Hall (who made us laugh hysterically in all of
the
Scary Movie's,)
Chi
McBride ,
Michael Beach,
Malinda Williams,
Nicholas Turturro, but
I tell you that
Katt Williams (comedian
Def Comedy Jam: Vol. 2)
stole the entire show. He was not a lead but he
clearly stole every scene that he was in, and if he was not
in this movie it would not be worth seeing.
If you can sit through the beginning, this film proves to be
a hilarious and warm journey with some truly funny and
entertaining characters.
