Movies - The Fighting Temptations


The Fighting Temptations is a 2003 comedy film.

A New York City advertising executive (played by Cuba Gooding, Jr.
) who is about to land a big account, has his life turned upside down when it's revealed that he has lied about having a college degree. After being fired, his life is shaken further by his debtors who had counted on him paying after landing the account. Having to go on the run, he is called back to his southern town roots, when his aunt dies. At the reading of the will, he learns he has been asked to assume the mantle of choir director of his aunt's church and if he can get the choir in the Gospel Explosion in Atlanta, he will inherit stock worth $150,000. Unfortunately the choir is not in very good shape and he has to start recruiting. Among others, he gets three prisoners to join. More importantly, he gets a "sinner" (Beyoncé Knowles
) from one of the local night clubs to join. While initially scorned and resisted, her voice wins everyone but the hardcore church goers in the end. Critics panned Cuba Gooding Jr.'s performance and praised Knowles character and thought that she deserved a golden globe and even oscar nod for her role as Lily.

The movie was a moderate success, with a worldwide gross of US$32,445,215. The film contains mild sexual language, with a lengthy discussion of the different kinds of "booty".
