Review of I'm in Love with a Church Girl (2013) by Sylvester E — 16 Oct 2013

Although I wanted this movie to succeed with the least amount of cheesyness as possible especially with Israel Houghton producing it and doing the music. However the first cheesy thing that shows up is in the opening credits that shows God as the "executive producer". Come on man you start off with that kind of cheese? You can do better. The chemistry between Jeff and Adrienne was so not there, everything they did was not believable. The picture was also stretched and out of focus at times. Even though it had it's good share of bad acting and was low budget it still showed some potential. It managed to show some genuine emotion but also had some useless characters in it like all the cops, Martin Cove (John Creese from the original The Karate Kid) Stephen Baldwin, his partner and Michael Madsen (who only showed up twice). They had no real place in the story whatsoever. The whole deal with the cops seemed like it was an ill attempt to give the story an edge and was also used to prolonge the story even more. Then they added extra unnecessary drama on top of that which caused the movie to go even longer to the point where you didnt know where this movie was going or when it was going to end. All that being said I think Jeff did the best he could with what he had as far as the script and his acting skills to show a man really trying to change for the better. It was about to be a good ending until it took a really unrealistic turn. With all the things mentioned above this was a very disappointing production. Save your money and watch this at home.

Then they show at the end of the credits the real guy that the story was about to validate his journey.
