I loved the music. It's a good film.
How rockin' can a band be when their leader is Fred Willard?
This story of a vaguely Elvis-esque troublemaker who transforms the misfit gospel choir at a Baptist halfway house into a rockin' blues band could probably be screened at a real Baptist halfway house without controversy.
Folks looking for unchallenging, uninspired easy-to-swallow 90 minutes of entertainment may find it here. Personally, I'd rather put on the soundtrack to Blues Brothers 2000.
Predictable, but heart warming and makes you feel good inside. Stunning performance from both Scott and Black.
