FIRST SUNDAY (DVD MOVIE)
User Reviews
fun performances can't quite overcome uneven script - Rating: 2/5
**1/2
A very appealing cast is left with little to work with in "First Sunday," a manufactured comedy whose script fails to rise to the level of its actors. Desperate for some quick cash, Durell and LeeJohn come up with a scheme to break into a local church and carry off the fund earmarked for construction of a new building. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple robbery quickly turns into a complicated hostage situation when a dozen or so of the most prominent church members unexpectedly show up on the scene.
"First Friday" does elicit a few hearty laughs, due, in large part, to its game cast and the occasional funny line scattered in and amongst the numerous clunkers. Ice Cube effectively plays straight man to Tracey Morgan`s endearingly bumbling sidekick, and they, together with the other actors, help to comprise a fine comic ensemble. The problem lies in a screenplay which often goes for the obvious joke over something truly original or clever, and which pours on the syrup to alarming proportions near the end just to ensure the movie its status as a morally upright, "feel-good" comedy.
It's a harmless enough little diversion if you have some time to kill, but the company is far more appetizing than what it is they`re dishing up.
A Laughable but sometimes silly movie - Rating: 4/5
I got a copy of this movie, and at first, I was mad with Tracy Morgan always leading Ice Cube into some mess. But as you go into the movie, you cannot help but laugh especially at Katt Williams. That Katt stole the movie from them guys. But one of the best performances there was one of Olivia Cole. Throughout the time when Cube and Tracy was at that church, she didn't waver or back away, and when stuff got down to the nitty gritty, she gave one of the best speeches in the whole movie. Chi McBride was just as good as the minister. Though it had it's silly moments, I liked it.
Will get you laughing - Rating: 4/5
Oddly enough the 2 stars,Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan had their moments but Katt Wiliiams had me laughing with every word that came out of his mouth.
I enjoyed the movie but it was a comedy with a serious tone as far as Ice Cubes child in the movie.The comedy itself as I said was mainly from Katt Williams whereas Ice and Tracy just seemed to set up a joke for Katt to do his thing.
Its worth a watch maybe not a purchase although I am glad to have it in my collection.
AWESUM MOVIE - Rating: 5/5
this is a really good movie, it has some really fresh comedy in it, katt williams does and awesome job, very funny. would highly recommend getting and watching this movie.
Its funny but not what you would expect fro - Rating: 5/5
I never thought I would see the day I get choked up over a Ice Cube movie. Well it has come. The actig was excellent! The message the movie sent I didn't see it coming. This is deffinitely a movie worth viewing more than once. HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS MOVIE. YES ITS VERY FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING, BUT SERIOUS AT THE SAME TIME.
