To call the acting amateurish does a disservice to hard-working amateurs everywhere.

Even having God on the production team can't save this 'Church Girl' from its heavy-handed sermonizing.

For myself and most folks expecting a movie, it is too transparent an infomercial for the church to move the mountain.

Ja Rule is not a good leading man. But he's better than some of the other actors in this film. This was not an enjoyable experience.

This was out of control. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's hard to even describe what happened in this "film".

Perhaps you will appreciate it more by not knowing the title & watching any trailer. Better than some lousy drama or silly ones out there. It ain't aiming too high in convert anyone but it sure strengthens some.

I know it's based on a true story, but the inaccuracies are dishonest and only made it worse. The writing is bad. The writer should have hired someone who actually knows how to write a screenplay. The biggest inaccuracy is with the main character's trouble with the DEA. In real life, the guy goes to jail. In the movie he does not. The plot with the DEA goes no where. On top of that, it was changed to push bad theology. Sorry, but it's a poorly written film.

Oh good grief. Not even some nice cars, a Baldwin or a feel good plot can save this monstrosity. The acting, the hilarious paint by numbers script, the corny score. Just dreadful!

Hysterically ambiguous! Ja Rule plays a "drug dealer" that sells "drugs." What kind of drugs? "All kinds!" Ja will tell you! Unbelievably dumb film. I enjoyed every unsubtle minute of it!
