A story of redemption, pride, jealousy, and reconciliation. STRONG cast with a stirring gospel soundtrack. An uplifting film. I found that the acting, music, and story were engaging and enjoyable. The singing performances of the choral groups and such gospel stars as Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammonds, Mom Winans, and Martha Munizzi combined nicely with, and elegantly complemented, the fine dramatic work of Idris Elba, Omar Gooding, Nona Gaye, and Clifton Powell. AMERICAN IDOL finalist Tamyra Gray shined in her acting and singing roles and showed that she has a bright future. 4+ stars. Buy the DVD & soundtrack to double your pleasure.
The Gospel(2006, DVD) was a movie I went to see when it was first released at the theaters. I went to see it two times. I wanted to make sure I got the DVD whenever it was released to the public. The quality of the movie it good, clear and a clean story line of the prodigal son returning to Christ. It has many top named gospel singing artist on the movie and is quite enjoyable for the whole family. We need more clean, good, and pure movies so the whole family can watch and enjoy and this one of them. If one did not know Christ, this movies will help them find Him. It is a great evangelical tool for the body of Christ.
I love this movie from the Characters to the story line. There aren't very many good African American movies that portay this very important aspcect of the black Christian Family's life, and this one by far was excellent. Keep in mind that ones story is different than the main character in this movie, and yet it is the same. Almost every one on some level deals with faith and redemption, jealousy and greediness, this movie depicts it all. I am also a music fanatic and Firk Franklin was the music producer for this movie, and the touch of hearing Yolanda Adams ' voice and seeing her on screen was priceless!
A staid, flat, predictable retelling of the biblical tale of the Prodigal Son. The music and atmospherics, however, are awesome. Absolutely brilliant arrangements and music presented via fantastic cinematography.
