The Fighting Temptations (2003)
In deze muzikale komedie moet Darin Hill (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), een gladde reclamejongen aan lager wal, heel wat doen voor de erfenis van zijn tante. Teruggekeerd in zijn geboorteplaats in Georgia moet hij een wedstrijd winnen met het plaatselijke gospel koor en dan pas krijgt hij zijn geld. Het dorp wordt bevolkt door idiote bewoners, die natuurlijk geen van allen kunnen zingen. Zijn erfenis lijkt verder weg dan ooit, dan komt hij de prachtige en talentvolle jazzmuzikante Lily (Beyoncé Knowles) tegen..... Een enorm leuke en grappige film, waar je onmogelijk stil bij kunt blijven zitten! Met optredens van Shirley Ceasar, The O'Jays, en meer muzikaal talent.
