Once upon a time, Cuba Gooding, Jr. won an Academy Award for Jerry Maguire, where he played on over-the-top athlete. He was boisterous, energetic, and really fun to watch. But since then, he's played over-the-top roles in nearly every movie he's chosen. ...read the complete Fighting Temptations movie review at Haro Online
Reel Movie Critic (Pam Singleton)
Movie Habit (Matt Anderson)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
"The Fighting Temptations" follows a formula in a kind of easygoing way, and you know it, but it generates so much good will and so many laughs that you don't really care. It's sort of a musical and sort of a first cousin of "Barbershop," and you can feel ...read the complete Fighting Temptations movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
There are only two reasons I'm giving The Fighting Temptations a marginal recommendation: great music and it manages to succeed in what it sets out to do, leave you feeling better coming out than going in.
