Such an underrated movie, I will have to add it to my collection. Eddie Murphy was not the original choice to play Mr. Church, but I'm glad he did. The trailer let you know a little about the movie, but there was much more. I wished this movie had a better rating. This deserved an award and that is such a shame, but it has earned my money. Please give it a try.

I guess some reviewers just have a dark view of everything in this world. The story was heart warming, beautiful, and a pleasant reminder that humanity does have redeeming qualities. I certainly recommend renting if not owning this fine film. It was, as many other reviewers have noted, one of Murphy's better performances and a refreshing alternative to his usual slap stick.

This drama is a great view on a different side of Eddie Murphy's stereotypical comedic characters. I like how he portrayed a jazz-loving man who wanted nothing more but to make sure a mother and her child would be taken care of. I like the plot; it's a kind of story I would certainly believe in if someone had told it to me.
