JOHN B Stumbled on this with no intention to watch but I found myself pulled into the story. Plot was a bit weak around Charlie's College experiences but a very touching story nonetheless. A mixture of joy and sadness. I highly recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Greg R Critics were incredibly harsh... it's a nice story with solid performances, especially by Eddie Murphy. Worth a watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Audience Member This was such a departure for Eddie Murphy. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and quiet dignity he portrayed in this role. No action, no comedy It's a gentle, heartwarming movie. I'd never heard a thing about it, and stumbled across it while searching for a movie to watch. I would certainly recommend it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review s c Firstly, I am not a fan of Eddie Murphy’s comedy-neither stand-up nor movies. However, this dramatic role as Mr Church is amazing. He is such a great actor. I have wondered since watching Mr. Church why Mr Murphy chose a career in comedy instead of drama. I have watched this movie many times and recommend it to everyone. Try it. You will not be disappointed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Eddie L By accident ran into this movie and ended up watching it. First time seeing only half the movie and then determined to watch the whole movie again. This is a heartfelt and moving movie. Such a beautiful story with kindness, compassion and grace. I do like this movie. It is a movie about relationships. This movie has its ups & downs in relationships which showing that we human do need friends and family (even acquaintance and somebody in the streets you don’t know). This movie also showing forgiveness can bring people together. Anyone can make and form a family, live together as a family as long as they care for each other and treat each other respectfully with love. I have no complain about the story line and how the story is written. The movie is fine with me. We always know that nothing can be perfect, nothing can be explained fully in such a short time in a movie. After all, we just want to watch a movie to escape in a way and bring back the love and memory that we can have. Just one thing though, the actors cast in this movie playing their role is important. I am glad that was Eddie Murphy playing Mr. Church instead of Samuel L. Jackson. Eddie Murphy’s has a look and feels as a kinder and more caring person. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Fred L After watching this film on the plane, I realized most so-called professional critics were self-righteous, empty talking heads. Instead of appreciating actors for expanding their range, these critics forced them to crawl back to their roots. Their negativities destroyed a well-written, thoughtfully crafted film. I hope Eddie Murphy continues to seek out dramatic roles, as his initial attempt was exceptional. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
