This under-promoted movie was a delightful surprise. Well-directed, charming, funny, sweet... and does the camera ever love Nadia Turner as "Kayla"! Hope to see more of this sexy and beautiful newcomer in future films. Also delightful were Joe Clair as the lovable loser "Jewels" and Johnny Brown as the Rev. Thomas's opportunistic brother, "Cephas." Bill Tolliver as the "Rev. Henry Thomas" brought dignity and pathos to his grieving character, and one would expect no less of this fine actor.
The out-takes on the DVD are worth watching. They give the viewer an insight into each actor's approach to their role, as well as a delightful glimpse into the camaraderie of this ensemble.
After renting the movie, I have now purchased it. I want to watch it again. Two thumbs way up.
