CRITICS OF "The Fighting Temptations"

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

...the plot's stupid, the writing's bad, the acting is barely professional, but the movie isn't evil.

January 27, 2005

Ebert & Roeper

This is an exhilarating musical -- but it's dragged into Thumbs Down territory by a dreadful story that creaks along between the rousing gospel numbers.

September 22, 2003

Common Sense Media

Great music, mediocre plot and acting.

December 28, 2010

Seattle Times

The Fighting Temptations exists for its rousing gospel soundtrack, which is at times so good that you can forgive the movie its flaws.

September 19, 2003

Resource

Christianity Today

Although there are plenty of positive, feel-good elements to this movie, they are outweighed by missed opportunities to do something more valuable.

September 26, 2006

ColeSmithey.com

The indifferent gospel music that permeates the movie never solidifies with the dramatic might that the genre is known for...

June 14, 2009

Resource

Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)

As a romantic comedy...neither exceptional nor groundbreaking. But as a musical, the movie bursts with foot-stomping, arm-swaying, finger-snapping gospel music.

June 25, 2004

Resource

Looking Closer

You might think this prodigal would learn to take responsibility for his lies ... or humbly accept the consequences of his crimes and change. Nope.

January 15, 2005

Toronto Star

Has practically nothing to recommend it save its music: Take that away and Jonathan Lynn's movie is as ordinary as an unsold TV pilot episode. But what music.

September 19, 2003

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

You may not be dancing in the aisle, but at least you won't be tempted to flee the theater.

September 24, 2003

Washington Post

The only real question in this flaccid narrative ... is when everybody will stop talking and start singing again.

September 19, 2003

Washington Post

May not be great cinema, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
