The film reads like a faux-hip youth pastor in movie form, only instead of an acoustic guitar, it’s an 808 drum machine luring the kids toward God.

Adds a mostly delightful entry to the musical genre, even if it doesn’t offer a unique take. More successfully it acts as a winning introductory calling card to the acting and musical talents of its rising star, Chloe Bailey.

The premise of taking gospel music and making it sound mainstream is tackled repeatedly seemingly streamlined for the specific audience of the star of that time. This time it's geared for fans of Chloe Bailey. Doesn't take away the fun or the music

Praise This may have some laudable performances and funny moments here and there, but its flimsy and formulaic tendencies make it forgettable.

Bailey and Washington make a fabulous duo, and their characters complement each other.

Praise This is a toe-tapping good time that thinks differently about how to tell a story about Christians that isn’t exclusively for Christians.

I don't think I would have chosen this movie on my own. I'm glad it popped up on my peacock autoplay. It was awesome. The different styles of music they had. I loved the storyline it kept me engaged every step of the way.

Praise This Pitch Perfect meets church and you get Praise This. This is a feel good movie meant to instill faith, but it doesn't deliver this in an overbearing manner where you feel faith is being shoved down your throat. The first half of the movie was cringey, but it progressively got better. The acting is good, and Chloe Bailey shines, showing she can Sing (I mean, we all knew she can, but she came to reinforce that point), act and dance. The plot and dialogues need work, but overall, Praise This stays true to being a feel good movie about singing and faith. 6/10

MADE ME LOVE GOSPEL SO MUCH!!! And My Momma Literally Played It Every Single Day. And I Don't Blame Her For It. It Is So Good That It Urges You To Watch It Over And Over Again. Their Is Some Cussing Including Aaron's Introduction Part and one of the songs (Not A Lot Of It Though), there was only 1 moan in the whole movie but the concept of the movie can really change your faith in Gospel and God in a positive way!
