The Real Review

People are pretty down on Tyler Perry's latest holiday drama, though a few praise Fantasia Barrino's performance. The well-worn plot, about a pastor trying to save a church by Christmas, is widely seen as formulaic and tired. Despite the very low overall reception, the acting is the one thing that doesn't get criticized, with some viewers finding the cast, including Tank and Yolanda Adams, to be the only bright spot in a predictable movie.
