 | LL, Jada, Fox and Goldberg are good, not great, but good in this family reunion 'Dramedy' (Drama+Comedy), when a family member dies, the whole family reunite, each with a story to unfold and unfinished business to be taken care of. This movie is ok in my book, had no bad parts and the cast is great, so if you like poignient dramas, it don't get any better than Kingdom Come. |

| This movie sucks and thats all I can say. What a waste of some precious hours of my life that I can't get back. I wouldn't even rate it cos 1 star is rather generous. |

| What a phsycologically derranged and wild family! I wouldn't be caught dead if this were my family! The hate and tense scenes were out of state and out of mind. I hated Aunt Marguerite the worst! "Yes, you're living proof that life is not a good time!" *Grabs her bible and beats her with it* "That is not how you use the word of God! Not to hit your son, Royce with it! And if you're such a religious and scriptural expert, what did Jesus say about being judgemental?! YOU WATCH YOURSELF, MARGUERITE OR YOU'RE GOING TO FRY ON HOT COALS YOURSELF!!!!! You're being the overbearing and obnoxious devil yourself, Marguerite!! Whoo! And if Royce doesn't want to take you, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE YOU!!!!!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!! *grabs phone from Marguerite and beats her with it* The arguements with Charisse and Junior were enough to influence anyone to lose their minds if they had bitter feelings or quarrels. Poor Charisse; if she wnated to be alone, why not Delightful leave her be!? What I liked about this film was Ray Bud and Lucille. It seemed they were the only characters making the movie worth while. Along with Reverend Hooker; his flatulence was out of this world! I really liked the song Charisse sang at the funeral; it's a peace filling tune. The ending was wonderful, though; evertyhing was resolved. That's what kept me from limiting this film to two stars. |
| Rating | | | Date | January 02, 2004 | | Summary | Decent movie but not worth the money | Content
| I have to start off by saying who ever cast this movie did an excellent job. Who ever wrote the script did a very poor job. The story line was no where as great as the casting was. The story line was very corny,repetitive, and many times boring. I was so glad when the movie was over. I think the movie could have been a whole lot better but it wasn't just awful. In case you are thinking about buying this movie, DON'T. |
| Rating | | | Date | October 12, 2003 | | Summary | The comedy does not mix with the drama | Content
| In "The Wood" "Get On The Bus" and "Soul Food" the filmmakers was able to balance the comedy with the drama but in "Kingdom Come" nuthin works... One second there is a dramatic reminiscing about the death of an unborn child and in the next Jada Pinkett starts screaming and tries to be funny (which she definitly is not)...
I like Jada Pinket in "Set It Off" and in "Jason's Lyric" but u find yourself wanting to strangle her character in this movie... Not even LL COOL J, Vivica A Fox or Whoopie Goldberg can save this movie from being a disaster... When making this movie they should have chosen either to make a comedy or a drama. The movie is kind of like a 90 minute commercial for the church mixed with Drama and strangled comedy. |
