What should be an uplifting emotional film is instead a bland flatline of predicability and stale religious hooey. There isn’t a single moment of this movie that is inspired or original. You can guess what happens in the next scene as you are watching and if it wasn’t for Jennifer Hudson’s amazing voice elevating the rather pedantic songs, it wouldn’t be watchable. If you ever wondered if it were possible to get an utterly forgettable performance out of Angela Bassett, wonder no more.
