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

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

Great music, mediocre plot and acting.

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

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

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.
