The Preacher's Wife is a Christmas movie that gets lost during the Holiday season because of so many classics, from It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street, to recent hits like Elf and Christmas Vacation. Denzel Washington is the finest actor of his generation, and in this movie, he shows a softer, comical side he doesn't get to show often. Whitney Houston provides her angelic voice to the movie and the supporting cast includes brilliant actors like Gregory Hines, Loretta Devine, Courtney B. Vance and Jenifer Lewis. It is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all-time.
The Preacher's Wife is a beautiful story of a man in need of someone to help during hard times for his community. What he learns about the strength in believing in his community, even during it's toughest times, is what sets this film apart.
Good Luck
is equally magnificent, starring Gregory Hines and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Two unlikely buddies, one confined to a wheelchair and the other blind,
set off on a quest to win a white water rafting competition. Their
journey to succeed is as unlikely as their journey to become friends.
What they learn most through their experience, is that it is more
important to take a chance than to succeed.
It made $39,962 during it's opening weekend on only 106 screens and was subsequently removed from theaters.
