Movie Reviews

Blu-ray.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfHas a big heart, but no sense of pace and conflict to sustain the viewing experience for an unnerving two hours.
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaA fun, feel-good family film that actually does leave you feeling good.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThis movie could have done more, but what it does, it makes you feel good about.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasThe Preacher's Wife is one Christmas picture that actually is in the spirit of the season. It's warm, sentimental, amusing yet serious, bringing fantasy to bear upon the painfully real.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Greg MuskewitzGenerally pleasant and unobjectionable, if not rather bland.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Heather BoernerDenzel's Christmas angel meets Whitney's voice.
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenExcept for the musical numbers, director Penny Marshall's poky, piety-by-the-numbers fable never lifts off the ground.
TIME Magazine - 8/10 by Richard CorlissNeither the presence of raffish Gregory Hines as the real estate villain nor an occasional yo'-mama joke can turn this gruel into savory Christmas pudding.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Susan StarkPenny Marshall's remake of The Bishop's Wife is very uneven -- sometimes sweet or soulful, often stiff.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by James PlathThe music, the chemistry between Houston and Washington, and minor characters that make us smile make this film worth watching-especially around Christmas, when this is set.
