Nancy C @RT57029123 5 days ago What a beautiful, inspiring movie. In a world that needs more kindness, this is a must see. See more

Martha P @RT67892991 6 days ago In a world of meaningless films bloated with gratuitous violence and raunchiness, it was a real treat to settle into a warm story that speaks to such a universal thread in our Humanity: loss and grief. The story goes much deeper though. Forgiveness, healing, trust and growth draw the characters into your heart. Beautiful story of non-traditional families and the healing power of Love. Eddie Murphy's portrayal of the devoted & humble (yet conflicted) Mr. Church was quite refreshing! 💟 See more

James M @RT72629457 Nov 2, 2026 On this one I go with the critics. Very slow paced movie that is just story telling of a very uneventful friend dynamic. Kept waiting for the story to escalate or have some actual tension but it just left you feeling like you just watched a movie about nothing. I cannot recommend this movie at all in good conscience.

Thomas D @RT86255618 Oct 31, 2026 Critics are a strange bird. 25% on Rotten Tomatoes? Critics, you’re self-important and perhaps too involved in your own lives to set aside your deep-rooted personal opinions to just enjoy a movie for what it is, and what it set out to portray. We happened upon this film on Prime a decade after it came out and we LOVED it. Eddie Murphy was subdued and Oscar-worthy. He was magnificent. The story was what I call "a slice of life," someone else’s existence as you live out your own life. This film is a gem. As critics celebrate noteworthy films that aren’t as worthy of an audience’s attention, this movie was worth the time invested. Not all films can be watched repeatedly, but MR. CHURCH was heartfelt. It’s not TOP GUN: MAVERICK or OLD SCHOOL, but if you have a soul, if you are not immune to the human connection, then this is a movie worth your time. I identify with the RT audience score of 82%. The audience is correct; the critics are awfully wrong. See more

Margaret G @Pcbeachnana Oct 25, 2026 Honestly, I had never heard of this movie but we watched it on Prime today. It was such a good heart warming story and Eddie Murphy was excellent. He is so talented. All of the actors were so good. I will never understand critics and usually do not decide on movies based on their reviews, thank goodness. See more

Phil A @cinephile407 Sep 23, 2026 First not sure why this was classified on RT as a comedy. Second I never saw this movie because it got poor reviews. Sometimes the critics have no idea what they are watching this is a really good film and 80% audience score let's me know I'm in good company. More drama than comedy (if anything) but a very good film. Shame on the critics. See more
