One just wishes that with the word 'choir' in the title, there would be a lot more top-drawer gospel singing.

A religious feel-good message, first and foremost. As for drama, well, it's a distant second.

2.5/4

Nor does it sermonize at the expense of entertaining. Instead, it melds gospel and hip-hop for a music-driven tale of twin brothers who reconnect.

Not even the presence of Eartha Kitt can bring this negligible and amateurish work to life.

Filters its lessons through contemptuous twin brothers before settling on the redemptive power of gospel music sung by a church ensemble.

The movie is quite enjoyable. I wish the romance between Teshawn and Kia wasn't too abrupt. I would have loved more love scenes with them.

Call this one "Brother Act." Instead of Whoopi Goldberg's Reno lounge singer in "Sister Act," Preaching to the Choir has a hip-hop star hiding out from a gangsta record producer in his estranged brother-minister's Harlem church.

If you haven't seen this movie you should...it has the hottest gospel songs and the best actors in it. this movie could've have been better, though a part of me wished there was a little violence between Bull Sharky and Wes
