This tedious remake of the classic Christmas movie The Bishop's Wife falls on its face by significantly altering the careful design of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert E. Sherwood's story for the original film. In Sherwood's version, a rather wooden, inept bishop and his lonely wife unknowingly take into their lives a heaven-sent angel who aids the former and ends up falling in love with the latter. In this unnecessary update, an inner-city preacher (Courtney B. Vance) and his estranged spouse (Whitney Houston) are visited by a celestial goof (Denzel Washington), whose unsolicited offer of help is enough to galvanize Vance's character to fix his own problems. What that means is this: by the second act, there's no reason to have Washington's angel in the story. Even his infatuation with the missus isn't enough to warrant his hanging around this movie; the change is a colossal blunder by director Penny Marshall. Vance ends up stealing the film from Washington, but it's a Pyrrhic victory; for the most part this movie just seems like a series of random scenes between opportunities for Houston to belt out songs. --Tom Keogh

True meaning of Christmas charity. Many life lessons in this movie, caring, compassion, love and charity.
Excellent movie.

- Beautiful & peaceful
Washington and Houston are wonderful in this and the Ice skating scene is just so beautiful / graceful/peaceful and romantic . It gives you that warm fuzzy feeling like at Christmas time , and its like you are right there with them a true life scene .

Rating:

- Entertaining family movie!
Though this movie is several years old, I recently purchased The Preacher's Wife for my family. I find holiday movies woefully lack an African American perspective and I wanted to purchase as item that I could watch with my children that depict people that look like us. My children enjoyed it very much. Whitney Houston is not the best actress in the world; however, that didn't impact our overall enjoyment of the movie.

Rating:

- Warm and Fuzzy
Warm, fuzzy, and before Whitney changed for the worst. You really can't go wrong with this.

Rating:

- Best Christmas Movie
This is and has been my favorite Christmas movie since it came out. I absolutely love it--- brings joy to the season and reminds you of the real reason.
