Divine Intervention is a comedy about a young, hip preacher who becomes the temporary pastor of a small fundamental Baptist church in Los Angeles when the long presiding pastor has to take an indefinite leave of absence after suffering a stroke. The handsome and stylish Reverend Robert Gibbs’ flashy and hip way of preaching is immediately embraced by members of the now growing congregation, but is frowned upon by his predecessor, the stern and traditional Reverend Matthews, who does not agree with Gibbs’ trendy tactics and the new commercialized direction that he is taking the church in.

Coincidentally, Reverend Gibbs eventually stumbles upon a young lady who sparks his interest but presents a challenge to him. The young, lovely, and witty schoolteacher Divine, initially unbeknownst to Reverend Gibbs, is the daughter of Reverend Matthews and she has lost her faith in God due to losing her mother several years back to cancer. Reverend Gibbs tries to win her over while restoring her faith in God and steering clear of her dry humored and overly protective father in the process.

Reverend Matthews’ return to the church eventually lessens and Reverend Gibbs moves closer to assuming a permanent role as pastor of the church. This is until he is met by an even stronger opposition in the jealous and scandalous Deacon Wells, who attempts to uncover some elements of Reverend Gibbs’ past in order to prevent him from winning the seat of permanent pastor of the church and more importantly, a place in the heart of Divine.

Divine Intervention is a funny, upbeat spiritual journey about romance, religion, and faith. --© Bullz Eye Productions [Less]

Though meagerly plotted and devoid of narrative surprise, the micro-budgeted Divine Intervention cuts deeper than your typical Hollywood rom-com because of its willingness to address real problems confronting the African-American community.

A godforsaken lesson on awful filmmaking, relieved only by occasional sharp turns from a crackerjack supporting cast.
