Product Description:
FIRST SUNDAY (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Ice Cube continues his winning streak as a likeable everyman in family movies with First Sunday, an initially silly, disposable comedy that picks up emotional power and authenticity by the second act. Cube plays ne’er-do-well Durell, an out-of-work Baltimore dad who needs over $17,000 to keep his ex from taking their son with her to Atlanta for good. Desperate to raise the cash but hamstrung by his self-defeating attitude and the criminal antics of his goofy sidekick, LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan), Durell gives in to temptation and decides he and LeeJohn should rob a church. The crime goes badly when it turns out a number of parishioners are in the building at the time, and a hostage situation develops. Events take a twist when the would-be thieves become the beneficiaries of Christian charity and forgiveness from the men and women they’ve kidnapped, and a bigger criminal is revealed in the congregation’s mix. A terrific supporting cast including Michael Beach, Chi McBride, Keith David, Malinda Williams, Loretta Devine, and Katt Williams bring strong humor and dignity to the film’s latter half, compensating for some unpleasant missteps (a pointless scene at a massage parlor) earlier in the story. Writer-director David E. Talbert is especially sharp during a spirited, gospel performance scene, which simply crackles on screen. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Glad I purchased
This movie was hilarious. I watched it on my DVD player while at the Beauty Shop underneath the dryer and laughed so much that people were inquiring as to what I was watching. Normally I have problems with purchasing DVDs on Amazon because sellers are not as truthful about the condition of DVDs as they should be, some even have rewrapped them in shrink wrap to deceive, and they are full of scratches when opened, but this one played flawlessly and was a riot.

Rating:  - Funny Movie, I Lked It
Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan star in this movie as two guys needing to get money. Ice Cube plays a father who is trying to get money to stop his ex from taking his son to Atlanta. Tracy plays his friend who is trying to get money to pay back Jamaican gangsters for 10 wheelchairs that cost $12,000 dollars each. Yea, I thought that was silly, but at the same time, uniquely funny. And so from there the adventure begins.
Eventually, Tracy's character, Lee John, gets an idea to rob a church. ... Read More
Rating:  - fun performances can't quite overcome uneven script
**1/2
A very appealing cast is left with little to work with in "First Sunday," a manufactured comedy whose script fails to rise to the level of its actors. Desperate for some quick cash, Durell and LeeJohn come up with a scheme to break into a local church and carry off the fund earmarked for construction of a new building. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple robbery quickly turns into a complicated hostage situation when a dozen or so of the most prominent church members unexpectedly ... Read More
Rating: - A Laughable but sometimes silly movie
I got a copy of this movie, and at first, I was mad with Tracy Morgan always leading Ice Cube into some mess. But as you go into the movie, you cannot help but laugh especially at Katt Williams. That Katt stole the movie from them guys. But one of the best performances there was one of Olivia Cole. Throughout the time when Cube and Tracy was at that church, she didn't waver or back away, and when stuff got down to the nitty gritty, she gave one of the best speeches in the whole movie. Chi McBride was just ... Read More
