Pros: Wonderful story
Cons: A smidge sappy
Summary: Though I usually prefer realistic movies, I have to admit that The Preacher's Wife is a great family film, that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. True, some parts are cliche and sappy, but what are the holidays without a little Hallmark?

Pros: High spirits,; light laughs, Denzel Washington.
Cons: the ever-chilly Whitney Houston.

Pros: Likeable
Cons: Innocuous
Summary: The Preacher's Wife is a two-hour Hallmark card -- sappy and unoriginal yet uplifting and touching. Yes, I'm a sarcastic cynic, but even I can put that aside when a decent feel-good movie comes along, especially these morally-sound musical comedies with ... read more

Rated Show by the Epinions community Jul 14, 2007
Pros: decent cast & has its moments
Cons: too predictable
Summary: flipped this movie on and never heard of it but i wasn't moved. most of the cast is notable and probably what keeps the film alive. the actual story follows the old "turn a likeable place into a mall" plot (this time it's a church) and predictability
