Miles Montego (Ja Rule) has it all - cars, boats, good looks, mansion, money, women, but more importantly, he has a past. Miles is a retired high level drug trafficker who is now completely legitimate. Even though Miles has turned over a new leaf, the DEA can't seem to let him out of their sights. Miles' only downfall is that he is extremely loyal to his circle of friends and former colleagues who are not retired from the lucrative business. Struggling to keep on the right side of the law, Miles meets the one girl of his dreams but she's not the usual type of girl that he's used to dating. Vanessa (Adrienne Bailon) is a church girl in every sense of the word. They are tested to their last ounce of faith and strength in God and each other. God continues to chip away at Miles through struggles from his past, having to live up to his reputation, feelings of unworthiness, the death of his mother, federal charges, his friends being indicted, the strain on his relationship with Vanessa, almost losing her in a near fatal car accident, and finally the spiritual breakdown and one on one with God that brings Miles to his knees.

| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniFor a religion started by a martyred egalitarian hippie who hung out with lepers and prostitutes and was executed by The Man, these supposed adherents sure seem obsessed with Earthly wealth. Bad movie, but a fascinating watch. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanThe dialogue in places leans toward the banal, but a couple of plot twists help hold interest. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperSolid performances by Ja Rule and Adrienne Bailon combine with an inspirational story to make an enjoyable film. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkPerhaps the problem with this work is it's trying very hard to make faith sexier than the Scarface lifestyle. |
| VarietyScott FoundasEven having God on the production team can't save this 'Church Girl' from its heavy-handed sermonizing. |
| RogerEbert.comSteven BooneMolina's story is worth telling. I suspect that, in this form, it will reach some of the at-risk youth who are clearly his target audience. But for myself and most folks expecting a movie, it is too transparent an infomercial for the church to move the mountain. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckGlossier and more lavishly produced than most faith-based films, the film directed by Steve Race is ultimately undone by a relentless preachiness that gives it the feel of a two-hour sermon. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenDrug dealer's conversion story appeals to faith audiences. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThe road to hell is paved with well-intentioned clunkers like I’m in Love with a Church Girl, a strenuously sincere but tediously schematic and heavy-handed attempt at cinematic proselytizing for Christianity. |
| New York PostSara StewartThis overlong drama plays like a threefold infomercial: for Christianity, the cheesy resort chain Sandals and Jeff “Ja Rule” Atkins, the rapper-turned-actor playing drug kingpin Miles Montego. |
