Critic Reviews of "The Preachers Wife"
Washington PostSeptember 24, 2002There are many good reasons for going to see The Preacher's Wife.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002The Preacher's Wife qualifies as old-fashioned Hollywood movie making at its corniest and most saccharine. But the mostly African American cast puts an engaging spin on the chestnut, and it works beautifully.
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002For a movie that might have offered a new twist of the mistletoe, The Preacher's Wife delivers the Scrooge-like acceptable market minimum.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001The Preacher's Wife is one Christmas picture that actually is in the spirit of the season. It's warm, sentimental, amusing yet serious, bringing fantasy to bear upon the painfully real.
Detroit NewsJanuary 01, 2000Penny Marshall's remake of The Bishop's Wife is very uneven -- sometimes sweet or soulful, often stiff.
USA TodayJanuary 01, 2000As warm and cheery as a mug of hot cocoa on a frosty morn.
Blu-ray.comFebruary 18, 2013Has a big heart, but no sense of pace and conflict to sustain the viewing experience for an unnerving two hours.
Movie MetropolisAugust 06, 2012The music, the chemistry between Houston and Washington, and minor characters that make us smile make this film worth watching-especially around Christmas, when this is set.
Common Sense MediaDecember 18, 2010Denzel's Christmas angel meets Whitney's voice.
Boston PhoenixSeptember 05, 2009Houston's inevitable chart-toppers aside, the film mainly sells the values of cooperation and good-samaritanism.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)July 14, 2005Definitely not Denzel Washington's finest hour.
