Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Absolutely Brilliant!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The acting in this movie is really good.

LL Cool J did a brilliant performance in this movie by showing family leadership and keeping everyone civilized. This movie describes an abundance of black families getting together for a funeral where there's making decisions of where to bury the body and what is to be put on the tombstone. As for most families there are long time grudges,infidelity,and irresponsibilities. This movie describes them all. Kingdom Come is a good movie to watch. There are some various humorous situations.

This movie has good intentions, but falls a little short due to the execution of the plot. I'm not going to go into the whole storyline, as by now you probably already know. What I do want to say is it's good to have a decent black movie make it to the theater and do fairly well. Besides Soul Food, this is the only other feel good black family movie that has been released in the last 5 years. It's a shame it didn't do that well at the box office. It could be because of the nature of the film or the lackluster storyline. Whatever the case may be, it was worth watching at least once. There are some very funny parts in this film and the acting was decent. I was surprised to see Toni Braxton in this film. She actually did a pretty good job. LL Cool J needs to find his nitch. I think he's still looking for it. I liked him in Deep Blue Sea, but Rollerball was a mess. Whoopie only had a small part, but she really helped the movie along. Overall I give it 6 out of 10.

First, I'll say bravo!. I haven't seen such mastery. It was not just a movie, but a means to teach everybody not to look down on any person or group of people. With the likes of James Todd Smith (LL COOL J), Jada Pinkett Smith and the others, what else was expected from a movie that comprises of such great Juggernauts.kingdom Come talks about a family that was in great need of help; a family that had Wayward people, helpless and narrow minded people. But at the end, everybody in the family had a change and got better. This was only achieved by the death of a family member that was regarded as a cold-hearted man.All I'll say is that it isn't just a movie to be watched, but it is to be pondered over.

This movie received tons of mixed reviews and didn't pan out at the box office. I think it was very underappreciated. Not only is this a feel-good comedy--no sex, no violence, very little profanity--but it will move you as well. I think this is one movie that focuses on a particular minority that actually has a universal theme. This family could've been white, Hispanic, Japanese. It doesn't matter. Everyone can relate. This is not a degrading, stereotypical account of a poorly educated, low income African-American family living in the ghetto. Let me start off by complimenting the multi-talented cast. I don't think you could've picked a much better ensemble of African-American performers. LL Cool J is really good as the bitter, cynical ex-alcoholic who becomes even more bitter after hearing the news of his father's death. Along with Ice Cube, I think LL is one of our most gifted rapper-turned-actors. He delivers one of his best performances in this movie. I was amused by Whoopi Goldberg, not because she exercised her trademark schtick, but because she delivers an amazingly subdued performance and pretty much takes on the role of the straight person. You can say she is the one civilized person in the family. Whoopi's one of those wonderful actresses who proves to be as effective in her comic roles as she is her dramatic roles. Loretta Divine plays Whoopi's sister, and she gives--next to "Waiting to Exhale"--one of her best performances. Underrated comic actor Anthony Anderson is hilarious as a stressed-out husband now despised by his wife after being suspected of cheating on her. Anderson has become a rising star, ever since his hilarious star-making appearance in "Me Myself and Irene," and I keep hoping to see him in more and more movies. Jada Pinkett-Smith is over-the-top as his suspicious wife. Not one of her best performances. Though Anderson's character cheated on her, you feel more sorry for him having to hear her mouth 24/7. Darius McRary (from TV's "Family Matters") is quite good, and he can have a successful career in film. He plays a role very different from Eddie Winslow, as a chain-smoking, alcoholic smooth-talker who's very bold with the ladies. To add to the talents are Cedric the Entertainer, Vivica A. Fox and Richard Gant. The film is filled with good humor and belly laughs, but it's the overall message of family values that makes it even stronger. The film focuses on a well-to-do family of nice, decent people. But they have problems. There's tension. There's chaos. And it takes the passing-on of a nasty but beloved family member to bring them together. Conflicts arise and eventually get resolved. But it's not done in a forced Hollywood fashion. There are moments of truth that are beautifully touching and poignant. And you fall in love with each and every one of these characters. The director, writers and actors do a great job at manipulating its audience's emotions. "Kingdom Come" is smart, funny and touching. I definitely suggest people check out this underrated film and I definitely suggest familes watch it together. Trust me, you'll all be in tears in a big group hug. My score: 7 (out of 10)
