A near-claustrophobic comedy that manages to be both predictable and preachy. A cringe-inducing, cinematic tribute to the Golden Age of Minstrelsy! First Sunday dvd Its heart is in the right place and it tries hard–maybe too hard–to earn its sentimental ending. Getting religion in the end is no excuse for a parade of bad taste. If theres a God, First Sunday will be the last of its kind for Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan, who deserve better than this wannabe screwball comedy about small-time crooks knocking over a church. On the basis of First Sunday, it would seem writer-director David E. Talbert has been keeping close tabs on the creative recipe for success concocted by Tyler Perry.
