As a mother of
two pre-teen boys, who by the way happen to be black...did you know
that the life expectancy for a black male is only 18...I appreciated
having something to show my kids that supported and encouraged the
values that my husband and I are trying to teach our sons. In a world
where most television shows for children, pre-teens, and everyone
else under the age of 40, is geared to the weird, and demonic, I gave
this movie "two thumbs up". After reading some of the comments, I
have to say, though with as much love as I have in me, it might not
have had all the glitz, polish and special effects of some of the
industry's "finest", but it was something that a parent could feel
comfortable letting their children watch. We need more of this kind
of television! Most of what's out there, we do not let them see, (we
preview all movies, music and television, before allowing them to
watch or listen to it), but they sat with me and enjoyed this one
very much. We aren't the "black family" that most people see on television;
I am married to my sons' father, neither of us have ever been arrested
for selling drugs, pimping or prostitution, we own two companies and
they both have to do with the entertainment industry, we don't abuse
our sons and could be described more as an average middle class family,
(without having to add the black or white to it, what does it matter
anyway...poor people are poor people, trashy people or trash regardless
of race). My point in saying all of that is this, it was refreshing
to see a television show that didn't give my sons the impression that
because they are black males, they can only aspire to a life of crime.
And if they did happen to go that way, there was a way out of it.
It didn't just appeal to a certain demographic, but could be enjoyed
by a multigenerational group. Needless to say...I loved it! Thanks
for your time and God's richest to you.

When I saw this
movie it really touched my heart. I really like singing also so I
could relate to the songs. But I was wondering If you wonderful people
had a soundtrack to this movie. I watched it a while back this year
and they were saying at the bottom of the movie that if we need these
songs to call them at a number that I lost. So If you have any way
Of telling me how can I get these wonderful songs I will be so grateful.
God Bless!!
Yours in Christ

I greatly appreciated
this movie. I feel, there should be more movies like this available
on tv, for Christians who wants to keep the world from trying to rewrite
over God's love, grace, & acceptance already planted in the Christian.

I know
I'll be the 'odd one out' on this, but I'll say it anyway... and it
isn't intended to be disrespectful towards anyone who either liked 'Sing'
or or those who put it together. I'm glad there is Christian entertainment
out there in any shape or form ... but I just wish it could be at least
half the quality as mainstream offerings. Please understand this is
only one person's opinion [yes, I'm Christian, btw :)], but I am interested
in the film industry as a career and therefor understand the process/
what makes a good movie/etc. perhaps better than I would otherwise.
Maybe that is the only reason for my thoughts on the matter. Maybe not
:).
Why
I thought it lacked quality: *"special effects" such as the cut on Nall's
cheek obviously fake *story - it was extremely, extremely, *extremely*
predictable... nearly every element was obvious from the first few minutes
[Tommy's whole story, Nall's conversion, etc.] *acting rarely didn't
*look* like it was acting *dialogue was usually stale/unnatural *this
'bold' presentation of the gospel sat the fence between natural and
"bold" ... and preachy and roll-the-eyes-and-turn-the-channel. That
said, I am also considering it from an adult stand point. It would be
different for children under... maybe 12-14. *even the settings and
lighting screamed FAKE/LOW BUDGET/RELIGIOUS ATTEMPT AT CONVERTING THE
MASSES. I applaud the effort, and I'm glad Christian material beat out
other projects.
But
I know that all of my non-Christian friends would have taken one look
at the acting, the lines, the contrived story, etc. and figured they'd
wait til Sunday to get their dose of religion when Aunt Betsy hauled
their butt into the pew by force. It doesn't matter how good, how true,
how necessary the message is if nobody sticks around to hear it. In
my opinion, if this movie's intent was to help people along their journey
to Christ's feet, it failed.
However,
as a good family movie, I certainly find nothing wrong with it. I just
wish that we wouldn't continue to reaffirm the idea that Christians
have nothing to offer in the realm of art/film/etc. that is on par with
the rest of the world.
Love in Christ, Robyn.

From: Cathy
This
wonderful film went beyond saying "God loves you" to include the rest
of the story - we are sinners saved by the Grace of Jesus. Jesus loves
us and will change our lives - always for the better. Real Christians
get involved in touching the lives of people around them. I loved the
moment where Tommy reaches out to the sick wife and shares God's love
as he had recieved it from MeMaw and his employer. All inovolved deserve
praise, especially the TV stations who sold the primetime to Billy Graham
to show such a bold statement of faith.
