For all of you bad critics.I've been looking at the comments people make on movies such as "Dough Boys" and "Never Die Alone" and all I have to say to the bad critics is a few comments. Most of you who rate these movies based on it's cinematic beauty and character, never take the time to view it for what it was meant. These movies are all great in my book, one being because they are things that I have seen since I was 8 years old and still see today, so I can relate to them. Which is what they are, stories that are told for the enjoyment of people who can relate to them and to show those who cannot, the reality that these characters lived in relation to real life situations.But since we have a lot of people who were born with silver spoons in their mouth trying to make their voices be the base of the percussion line, they can and will never see it that way. Every time they watch a movie their looking at the camera detail, the acting to be 10 stars, the story to be about white houses with picket fences and a happy ending under a rainbow, while we who relate to the story always think the movie was great because it speaks for us, it lets everyone who see's it know that these things do happen, regardless of it's budget and cinematography.So to all you bad movie critics, My advice to you is to stop watching these movies that you cannot relate to, or just stop being a critic and just keep it to yourself.Amsterdam, Holland
The Eagles were thumping the Cowboys and the Jaguars wanted us to watch them lose again instead of letting us see Miami beat the Jets, so I checked out this film knowing that I probably wouldn't like it.Now, I was totally satisfied watching Malinda Williams (Idlewild, "Soul Food") trying to keep from spilling out of that form fitting outfit she had on for the entire 96 minutes, so it wasn't a total waste.Other than that, it relied too heavily on stereotypical humor and "Jesus is the answer to all your problems" thinking. Even Jesus doesn't have enough jobs to keep everyone happy, even if they managed to get more than a little education.But, there is always Malinda to save the day.
It is not often that I use the word "bigot" but I just saw this movie and when I saw that over 36% of IMDb voters gave it a "1", bigotry came to mind. With another 16% giving it a "10" that means that over half of the people rating this film have done a disservice to the IMDb community. Any rational viewer will see that this film is neither a "1" nor a "10." There are many funny bits in this film and it does have a certain poignancy as it makes its way through the story of an inept attempt to rob a church.Is it a great movie? N0. Is it a terrible waste of time? Absolutely not. It is light-hearted entertainment with some serious twists. It is worth seeing. Open message to IMDb: how about not counting a user's vote unless they also leave comments to support their vote? Perhaps then we would get more meaningful ratings.
First Sunday was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It will have you laughing throughout the whole movie. It also had some great meaning and a great message as well. The acting was very good as well. I think that Tracy Morgan is the funniest actor out in movies today. I thought that the story of them robbing a church though was not a good message and not thought through that well. After they tried robbing the church though at the end the movie taught you a great message. I think that all ages can also love this movie. Some of the funny parts in this movie almost made me fall on the floor laughing. I don't think I have scene to many movie that were as funny as this movie. All and all this movie was great. It was sad, funny and had a great message to it about GOD always giving you a second chance in life. That is true to that GOD does give everyone a second chance. I don't think that this movie was all about GOD either it was mostly a comedy. It was very funny at several different scenes. I think Tracy Morgan is very funny. I do understand why people don't like this movie. Most people will probably think that it was stupid. Some will think why in the world would you make a story about two people robing a church. In my opinion it was good they made a movie like this. It was very original if you ask me. Well anyways just see this movie and see what you think. It's not as bad as people make it sound.
