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

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.

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

Great music, mediocre plot and acting.

Has practically nothing to recommend it save its music: Take that away and Jonathan Lynn's movie is as ordinary as an unsold TV pilot episode. But what music.

You might think this prodigal would learn to take responsibility for his lies ... or humbly accept the consequences of his crimes and change. Nope.

May not be great cinema, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
