One just wishes that with the word 'choir' in the title, there would be a lot more top-drawer gospel singing. Go to Full Review
Desson Thomson Washington Post Apr 14, 2006
A religious feel-good message, first and foremost. As for drama, well, it's a distant second. Go to Full Review
Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle Apr 14, 2006
2.5/4
Nor does it sermonize at the expense of entertaining. Instead, it melds gospel and hip-hop for a music-driven tale of twin brothers who reconnect. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
