Entertainment Weekly -
Makes shameless use of tried-and-true elements -- but it's hardly the same old song.

Dallas Observer -
The plot's a trifle, but so what. Director Lynn (My Cousin Vinny) stages a series of seamless, ebullient show-stoppers that encompass every musical style from gospel and soul to contemporary R&B and hip-hop, and the choreography ranks with anything you'll find on Broadway.

Los Angeles Times -
A rousing, warmhearted comedy, as infectious as the gospel music it celebrates.

L.A. Weekly -
Formulaic but infectiously happy comedy.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
This culture-clash romantic comedy, scripted by Elizabeth Hunter and Saladin K. Patterson, goes exactly where you'd expect, but helmer Lynn, a comedy vet, gets it there with such infectious energy that you don't much mind the story's predictability.
