Based on the play Dearly Departed by David Dean Bottrell and Jessie Jones (who also penned this screenplay), this new comedy from the director of Jason's Lyric looks at a family gathering after one of their clan dies of a stroke. In the midst of a sweltering summer, the Slocumb family convenes. They include Charisse (Jada Pinkett Smith), the long-suffering, frustrated wife of philandering Junior (Anthony Anderson); there's also the Bible-spouting Marguerite (Loretta Devine), who prays to save her hard-living son Royce (Darius McCrary) from a life on welfare. Lucille (Vivica A. Fox) is the devoted family peacekeeper who is struggling with a money-grubbing funeral director, and her husband Ray Bud (L.L. Cool J) has major contempt for his family and wishes he were burying them instead. Kingdom Come also features Cedric the Entertainer as an intestinally challenged reverend and Whoopi Goldberg as the family matriarch. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

    Whoopie, you did it again, like I thought you would ever be in a bad movie to begin with. L.L. Cool J is the best though. Serious and funny at the same time. Great story line, great acting and just plain ole great humor. Sit down with popcorn and get ready to laugh. I now know what needs to be put on my ex-husbands grave stone!

    Kingdom Come is a movie filled with laughter, tears, and the eye opening circumstances to face your fears.The movie roars with laughter from Lorretta Devine, (Marguerite) the hilarious overbearing christian mother, and her back slidden son Darius McCrary, (Royce) who goal is to get married, have kids and live on welfare. Jada Picketon Smith, (Charisse Slocumb) and Anthony Anderson, (Junior Slocumb) paired together in this movie reminded me of my favorite Carroll Burnett Sitcom characters Eunice and Ed. (I was screaming) Then the over the top cousin Richard Gant, (Clyde) is determine to put a hit out on the money hungry funeral director. The loss of the (mean and surly) husband-dad brought a family back together to help them remember what is most important, life, love, forgiveness, and the value of it. The music in this movie is beautiful.......
