Could gave been a lot better.

So basically this was full of stereotypes,Tanisha is a stripper from the projects with her crack head mother and taking care of her little brother. Dante the preacher's son was sleeping with a woman in the congregation 15 years older who then gets married and he's still sleeping with her and of course she gets jealous. The stripper of course is supposed to be so tough from the projects but yet won't cover up more going into the Bishop and First Lady's home and then is so surprised at the mother's comments.

Come on you knew where you who you were going to meet and even Dante's best friend who was from the same projects as her was judgemental so technically she should be accustomed to being judged for how she acts and what she chooses to do. When she went to court for her brother she was sure to dress presentable so clearly she did know how to present herself differently.

The daughter of the preacher of course is wild, gets pregnant sleeping with a married man, and somehow surprised her Bishop for a father and first lady for a mother would be upset so she hides in her room with an oversized teddy bear.

So then the sawed off short pint-sized best friend of Dante now she gives him some attention and of course he wants to marry her and she accepts just to piss off Rev Reynolds who is actually who she's pregnant by. The wedding looks comical and it's looks like she's marring an jr high student. For some reason Dante is upset at his best friend however he wasn't upset when his best friend was hitting on his sister relentlessly and Donna said it bothered her. Of course he's the one to wait until he's married to Dante's sister to tell that Tanishis a stripper. It's so typical too, people love to go to strip clubs and take pictures and videos like Shorty did but then still judge them as Dante did yet he's fine sleeping with her before marriage. Selective morals.

The First Lady of course is beautiful, judgemental and uptight...similar to the married woman Dante was with smh and the Bishop took all the cake with the twist at the end. Didn't take care of his own child out of wedlock which happens to be Tanisha and yet his campaign was family values.

And to add insult, the very man that comes down on the Bishop and want him fired over the scandal was sleeping with Donna and the father of her childp. I can't, I won't, and I shan't.

Basically a movie of hypocritical money-hungry "Christians".

Disjointed....

Over halfway in and it feels disjointed. If not the acting is disjointed, then it's the lines, and if not the script then it's the sub plots, and if not the plots, then it's the direction. Great plot in theory (Preacher's son doing all kinds of dirty), didn't come out that way, it came out as no direction. What's more, it would seem the son isn't the one doing all kinds of dirty (so far, he's done only one dirt, sleeping with an older woman who's also a church member and married). It's the Daughter doing all the dirty: having an affair with a married man, in love with another who was in a serious relationship, getting pregnant, and attempting to marry someone she was she considers a weasel to stick it to the one she loves who got married to the one he's in a serious relationship with). This should be called the Preachers daughter. So in addition to being disjointed, off track, they couldn't even get the title right.

Cliche, typical Christian Story.
ThunderKing628 May 2018
You know the obvious black christian story. In 2017 we still are getting these stale stories with different actors.

Story revolves around power, sex and lies. Just like in today's so called black churches.

Throughout the movie people, pastors and people of the church administration are having sex and then are lying just so they can have power to get what they want.

Like all christian churches they have nothing to do with what the bible says. They are eating lobster, being rude to their neighbour, brother and sisters and are out of order.

I only recommend this movie to laugh at the hooliganism that goes around in these churches so you can stay away in real life.
