Summary: Worth watching if only to see Denzel
Review: I didn't think too much of this movie. There was a lot of star power here, but the script fell flat. Whitney Houston looks like she's terrifically bored with the whole thing and Denzel, as the angel Dudley, is gorgeous (of course), but even he can't save this movie. Singer Lionel Richie also has a small role in this film as Julia's (Whitney's character) friend, a jazz pianist. It was a pleasant surprise to see him, since I didn't even know he was in this film. "The Preacher's Wife" does have its moments (I enjoyed Jenifer Lewis' performance), but for the most part, it's bland and uninteresting. It is kind of sweet for the kids to watch, though, so for them I'd recommend it. That is, if they can stay awake long enough.

Summary: great christmas movie!
Review: I was surprised, this was strange for me.. I normally like the classic verision of a movie so much better then the newer verision but with this movie (altho I do recommend to everyone to see The Bishops Wife) I liked the Preachers Wife better.
I think this is an adorable, classic movie, that can help get anyone in the Christmas spirit, I would recommend watching it with someone you love!

Summary: A Black 'It's A Wonderful Life'
Review: In the same way that Motown produced a black version of 'The Wizard of Oz' whereby they could see characters that looked like them, the makers of 'The Preacher's Wife' produced a black version of 'It's A Wonderful Life' so that the characters could reflect the black community. Although I sympathise with the emotional connection of audiences with characters that look like them, I do feel that 'It's A Wonderful Life' was a universal story and that 'The Preacher's Wife' was just a black version of it that didn't improve upon the story. It was an enjoyable film to watch, but one couldn't help being overwhelmed with the tones of 'It's A Wonderful Life' ringing in the distance.
There were, however, some redeemable qualities to it. It teamed up Whitney Houston with Denzel, as well as Gregory Hines as supporting artist and Courtney B. Vance from 'The Tuskegee Raiders' and 'Black Panthers'.

Summary: Nice Try, But Misses The Target...
Review: Let me say right off...Whitney Houston is, without question, an extraordinarily gifted singer and Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood's best boxoffice draws...and, not without reason. But, those facts aren't enough to save this picture. Those who have seen this film and have not seen its predecessor, "The Bishop's Wife," have only seen the inadequate imitation. There is no comparison between the two, other than plot similarities. If you want a beautiful bit of Christmas drama, a touch of humor and truly superb acting, the better choice is "The Bishop's Wife." I don't say that merely because it is a "classic," but because of the reasons that make it a classic. The texture of the story and the subtle acting nuances add a richness to the film which is, unfortunately, missing from this updated version.

Summary: Can remakes be unmade?
Review: No-talent actors and director destroying an otherwise heartwarming story. Typical example of comtemporay Hollywood ego's assuming more importance than the story itself.
The original plot has been so mutilated, that halfway through the movie the purpose of the angel's visit is made pointless.
Do yourself a favor, spend your valuable time watching the original classic instead of this colossal waste of celluloid.

Summary: Always getting better....
Review: The more I see this movie, the better it gets. Denzel can portray any character Hollywood chooses to throw at him. As the angel Dudley, he is full of charm and charisma and makes this such a lovable movie. If you want to sit back and throw in a movie that makes you realize how good your life really is, this is the one.

Summary: I WATCHED THIS MOVIE OVER 100 TIMES
Review: THIS A GREAT MOVIE STARRING, WHITNEY HOUSTON, DENZEL WASHINGTON, COURTNEY B. VANCE, GREGORY HINES, AND MANY OTHER GREAT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A FAMILY WHO IS SLOWLY FADING, AND A PASTOR WHO HAS A STRONG ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY. IT HAD IT'S HIGH AND LOW POINTS, BUT NEVER A DULL MOMENT. THIS WAS VERY CLEAN, WHICH I'M SURE IS WHY IT WAS NOT A BOX OFFICE HIT. THIS WAS A POSITIVE BLACK MOVIE FOR A CHANGE. I LOVED THE SETTING OF THE MOVIE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS TRUE AND WASN'T ALL EXPENSIVE FLASHY STUFF. IT SHOWED HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE DAILY. EVEN IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT. THIS MOVIE EXPOSES THE TRUTH. LOVE THIS MOVIE, AND YOU WILL TO.

Summary: Food for the Soul....
Review: This is a beautiful, spiritual movie filled with love, laughter and hope. All I have to say is...why did I wait five years to see it? This is truly a treasure and I am shocked to see there are so few reviews. When you put Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington in the same movie, the sparks are going to fly. Denzel Washington is the "fine" Angel Dudley who is sent to earth to help a young minister see what is really important in life. Courtney Vance plays the part of the minister who is loosing his church, his wife (Whitney Houston) and seems to have forgotten that family is the most important part of life. The Angel Dudley accidentally falls in love with"The Preacher's Wife!" The attraction is very innocent, but holds your attention for sure. There are some movies which will capture your heart with the music and Whitney shines in this one! The gospel music is uplifting and inspiring and sets the tone for the entire movie. You will be getting out the tissues when she sings: "I Believe In You And Me." My cousin sang this to her husband at her wedding a few years ago and there was not a dry eye in the room. She is also the one who introduced me to this movie! Thank you Jewels! The humor is laugh out loud funny and you will just love the minister's mother-in-law! There is great comedy, acting, storytelling and this is one of those movies the whole family can enjoy....(hint, hint...to movie makers everywhere!) There are some movies you just have to own. This is one of them! If it wasn't so late tonight, I would have watched this movie again! A completely wonderful romantic comedy. If only they would make more movies like this one!
