Synopsis
Durell (Ice Cube) and LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan) are best friends and bumbling petty criminals. When told they have one week to pay a $17,000 debt or Durell will lose his son, they come up with a desperate scheme to rob their neighborhood church. Instead, they end up spending the night in the presence of the Lord and are forced to deal with much more than they bargained for.
Critics' reviews
- "The second half of the film is much funnier and warmer than the first, but the movie is still difficult to recommend."
- "The movie as a whole is pleasant, generally satisfying, and has a heart as big as its funny bone. For an early January movie, this is sometimes as good as it gets."
- "A near-claustrophobic comedy that manages to be both predictable and preachy. Solid actors in supporting roles offer minor redemption."
- "The movie’s total lack of focus and its unimpressive script should render it totally unwatchable. Weirdly, that doesn’t quite happen. There’s something endearing about these characters."
- "A misguided attempt at comedy that needs to go last on anyone's list of movie options."
