The Preacher's Wife (1996)

Cast: Denzel Washington (Dudley), Whitney Houston (Julia Biggs), Courtney B. Vance (Reverend Henry Biggs), Gregory Hines (Joe Hamilton)
For complete info, see IMDb's The Preacher's Wife page.

A little too schmaltzy for my taste, but not bad as holiday movies go. Sure, Whitney Houston's not a good actress, but Denzel Washington is a wonderful actor and I guess they figure if they surround her with great actors the fact that she can't act won't be as annoying. It worked better in this one than it did in her other movies, I think. Probably because The Preacher's Wife is just a light, sugary holiday movie, not meant to be anything more than a sweet romantic comedy.

Not worth seeing in theatres, but worth the time to watch it when it turns up on HBO.

Grade: B-
