    Editorial Reviews

    Based on the play Dearly Departed by David Dean Bottrell and Jessie Jones (who also penned this screenplay), this new comedy from the director of Jason's Lyric looks at a family gathering after one of their clan dies of a stroke. In the midst of a sweltering summer, the Slocumb family convenes. They include Charisse (Jada Pinkett Smith), the long-suffering, frustrated wife of philandering Junior (Anthony Anderson); there's also the Bible-spouting Marguerite (Loretta Devine), who prays to save her hard-living son Royce (Darius McCrary) from a life on welfare. Lucille (Vivica A. Fox) is the devoted family peacekeeper who is struggling with a money-grubbing funeral director, and her husband Ray Bud (L.L. Cool J) has major contempt for his family and wishes he were burying them instead. Kingdom Come also features Cedric the Entertainer as an intestinally challenged reverend and Whoopi Goldberg as the family matriarch. Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

    Kingdom Come - a great movieby Devote-E

    Reader Rating:

    August 26, 2009: It starts with a laugh, and the laughs continue throughout. The down-to-earth plot revolves around a funeral and associated family stresses. Whoopi Goldberg continues to present herself as a marvelous person that you would be privileged to have as a close personal friend.

    The script portrays a small town family beset by common problems and coping with them in uncommonly funny ways.

    There is not a weak member in the cast. Each player is convincing and displays a range of emotions that require extensive talent and training.

    The music, lighting, sound, camera work, costumes, makeup, sets, and editing are flawless.

    This movie will make you laugh (a lot) and cry (a little), and it will leave you feeling that the world is a better place than you had realized.
