Review:
First Sunday
It’s supposed to be funny and it might be, but is anything sacred these days? It’s never a good idea to encourage anyone to poke fun at religion. It is something people, especially black people hold close to their hearts because there was a time that church was all we had.
According to the website for First Sunday, Durell (Ice Cube) and LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan) are best friends and bumbling petty criminals.
When Durell learns that his ex-girlfriend plans to move to another state with their son - unless they can get her $17,000 to pay off a debt - they come up with a desperate scheme to rob their neighborhood church.
But when the duo fumble their way through the break-in, they discover someone has beaten them to the punch. In order to get their hands on the money, Durell and LeeJohn are forced to spend the night in the presence of the Lord and his followers...and end up getting a lot more than they bargained for.
First Sunday unleashes the screwball antics of a pair of hilariously inept petty criminals in a funny and heartwarming comedy about good intentions, bad decisions and second chances.
The film stars Ice Cube (Barbershop, Friday), Katt Williams (Friday After Next, Norbit) and Tracy Morgan (30 Rock, SNL).
