Ice Cube continues his winning streak as a likeable everyman in family movies with First Sunday, an initially silly, disposable comedy that picks up emotional power and authenticity by the second act. Cube plays ne'er-do-well Durell, an out-of-work Baltimore dad who needs over $17,000 to keep his ex from taking their son with her to Atlanta for good. Desperate to raise the cash but hamstrung by his self-defeating attitude and the criminal antics of his goofy sidekick, LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan), Durell gives in to temptation and decides he and LeeJohn should rob a church. The crime goes badly when it turns out a number of parishioners are in the building at the time, and a hostage situation develops. Events take a twist when the would-be thieves become the beneficiaries of Christian charity and forgiveness from the men and women they've kidnapped, and a bigger criminal is revealed in the congregation's mix. A terrific supporting cast including Michael Beach, Chi McBride, Keith David, Malinda Williams, Loretta Devine, and Katt Williams bring strong humor and dignity to the film's latter half, compensating for some unpleasant missteps (a pointless scene at a massage parlor) earlier in the story. Writer-director David E. Talbert is especially sharp during a spirited, gospel performance scene, which simply crackles on screen. --Tom Keogh

 TRACY MORGAN DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS! January 2, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
'The First Sunday' is disappointing to fans of Tracy Morgan as it's really not the vehicle I imagined for Morgan. It's not an un-watchable film, but I've seen too many of these half-baked sentimental comedies to watch one that just doesn't cut it. If you can get through the slow first half, it does get better in the second.....just not enough for me to recommend it.
 Worst Movie of '08!!! Don't Bother!!! November 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just bought this movie yesterday with high expectations from the cast that was in it and the commercials looked very funny as well. Unfortunately I did not bother to go online and look at reviews and rather went on a hit and miss and bought it. From the first 5 minutes I knew I had wasted my money and was wasting my time watching this train wreck of a movie. Tracy Morgan and Katt Williams are some of the funniest comedians out there and Ice Cube showed off his comedic acting with the excellent Friday. The whole premise of the movie is brought on in the first 5 minutes and from there on is bad acting at its finest. I can't believe how some movies get the funding to be made, don't they read the scripts before hand? This movie is not worth watching unless your doing research on unfunny movies with funny actors.
Nothing special... a big dissapointment September 6, 2008
When I rented this movie, I was expecting a hillarious comedy like the Friday triology was. Insted all you get, is a cheesy "familly" drama with very very few funny moments. Tracy Morgan's character wasn't funny enough, and Katt Williams' talents were wasted over a character who didn't have any funny lines at all. Ice Cube plays the exactly same part he plays in all of his movies... It's a deccent drama, but definitely not a comedy. A huge dissapointment, and that's why the movie failed worldwide.
 A fun little comedy starring Ice Cube on Blu-Ray Disc!!! August 11, 2008
This is fun little movie starring Ice Cube,Tracy Morgan,and Chi McBride!!! And it's great on Blu-Ray with great picture,sound and nice extras!!! I actually got the Blu Ray brand spanking new cheaper than the standard DVD edition,that was awesome!!! A good family film (But not for young kids,though) will a great cast!!! A great comedy!!! A+
Glad I purchased August 1, 2008
This movie was hilarious. I watched it on my DVD player while at the Beauty Shop underneath the dryer and laughed so much that people were inquiring as to what I was watching. Normally I have problems with purchasing DVDs on Amazon because sellers are not as truthful about the condition of DVDs as they should be, some even have rewrapped them in shrink wrap to deceive, and they are full of scratches when opened, but this one played flawlessly and was a riot.
I was never a fan of Kat Williams until this movie, but he actually made the movie in my opinion and actually made up for Tracy Morgan's acting skills (he always seems as if he is reading from cue cards). I am going to watch it again this weekend at the Beauty Shop.
I would certainly recommend this DVD to others to purchase, especially if you want a good laugh.
