Nooma You 015
Some of the central claims of the Christian faith are the source of many discussions and heated debates. But are we always debating the right things? Maybe some of our discussions would change significantly if we had more insight into the actual circumstances that surrounded the first people of the Christian movement--if we had a better understanding of the things they did in the context of the world they lived in. Maybe some of the claims of the Christian faith that we typically perceive to be unique aren't really that special at all. And at the same time, maybe we don't always put enough emphasis on the things that truly should matter in our lives.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

****Spoiler Alert**** We have so many comedies that are simply idiotic, ex: National Lampoons! But what makes a movie substantive is when it has a deeper meaning than simply being stupid. This movie tells the tale of life in urban America and I understand, people that have only affiliated themselves with suburbia, can't grasp the depths this movie takes viewers. 1. Depicts a man trying to live on the straight and narrow, even though he has made bad decisions, he's now trying to overcome. 2. He has a volitile relationship with his childs mother who is also financially struggling. 3. Depicts the importance of the church in urban America. Comedically, depicts issues, characters and personalities in the church most are familiar with. 4. Then, it takes the viewer on a journey of what a "Father" is willing to do, to protect his relationship with his child. It also breaks the stereotypical ideas of fatherhood in urban America. I challenge the reviewers that gave the show a bad review to re-watch the movie and look for more than just laughter, lighting effects, the movie set etc. Look for the deeper meaning of the movie...there's more there!

Ice Cube is once again hilarious in this movie. I've never seen a movie, where the plot is about robbing a church, two men down on their luck need to come up with 17,000, after all else fails, they decide to rob the local church. The pastor is a bit shady and later on we find out the he has been bilking the church out of some serious cash. this movie is very funny lot's of laughs.. not Ice Cube's best and definitely not his worst.. the choir memebers are also funny as they are held at gun point for most of the movie,, the pastor's daughters even falls for one of her captors. funny movie,, lot's to laugh at ,, not gonna win an Oscars.. but not a bad movie either.

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this movie! Excellent, amazing cast; talented, creative writers; hilarious scenes - and yet heartfelt at times. Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan are GREAT together - we laughed at their funny dialog and rooted for them/felt empathy for them in their acts of financial desperation. Katt Williams is a scene stealer! (The slick editing of his character's hilarious scenes/lines is absolutely brilliant!) We've seen several funny movies starring Ice Cube but this one is our favorite so far. This movie is very underrated. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great comedy! We will definitely watch this movie again!

First Sunday was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It will have you laughing throughout the whole movie. It also had some great meaning and a great message as well. The acting was very good as well. I think that Tracy Morgan is the funniest actor out in movies today. I thought that the story of them robbing a church though was not a good message and not thought through that well. After they tried robbing the church though at the end the movie taught you a great message. I think that all ages can also love this movie. Some of the funny parts in this movie almost made me fall on the floor laughing. I don't think I have scene to many movie that were as funny as this movie. All and all this movie was great. It was sad, funny and had a great message to it about GOD always giving you a second chance in life. That is true to that GOD does give everyone a second chance. I don't think that this movie was all about GOD either it was mostly a comedy. It was very funny at several different scenes. I think Tracy Morgan is very funny. I do understand why people don't like this movie. Most people will probably think that it was stupid. Some will think why in the world would you make a story about two people robing a church. In my opinion it was good they made a movie like this. It was very original if you ask me. Well anyways just see this movie and see what you think. It's not as bad as people make it sound.
