1.0 out of 5 starsDont waste the time
By S. Baldwin on March 5, 2012
Format: DVD
Please dont waste your time watching this movie. It was horrible. First thing first, Lyn Whitfield was amazing, even though she appeared to lip sync her sermons. Patti can sing her face off ...PERIOD!!. Ciara on the other hand. Ciara, Ciara Ciara, where do i even start. Lets start with the fact that she cant act at all. Couple that witht the fact that she spoke and sang like a 12 year old the entire movie, yes even after she "made it". They could have chosen any number of truly talented singers to play this roll. Paris Bennett, who sang one of the track "I will" for example. The story line was all over the place, with no consistancy or follow through. The viewer is left to guess what happened to get them to where they were. Overall it had the potential, to be great and casting someone other than Ciara as the lead would have been a step in the right direction. Just my opinion

1.0 out of 5 starsMama!!!! Don't Make Her Sing!!
By Orsayor Simmons on March 16, 2012
Format: DVD
I was excited to watch this movie.. Since Ciara's record sales has been declining with each release... I thought maybe acting would do the trick... Ummm No!!

I won't be too hard on her because this is her first starring role in a straight to dvd movie..

The Script - WEAK!!
The Acting - WEAK!! (Exceptions: Patti LaBelle - Lynn Whitfield - Marvin Winans)

In my opinion I don't think this was a great role for Ciara. This role should have been played by someone with a soulful voice. Everytime Ciara opened her mouth to sing, it sounded like someone was scrapping their nails against a chalkboard. I'm a fan of Ciara's music, especially the songs she released off her first cd.. but this movie gets an one star movie.

My advice: Wait until this movie airs on BET... If this movie was called... Mama.. I want to DANCE!!! - Ciara would shine!!! but since it's not.. You know the rest...

1.0 out of 5 starsA Huge Disappointment!
By Aria on February 20, 2012
Format: Amazon Video
My mother took me to see the original stage play Mama I Want To Sing back in the 80's when I was about 9 or 10. She introduced me to the arts at a very early age. So, I was thrilled to see that the play was being remade into movie form because it is such a special time from my childhood. Well this remake sucks royally. The director/producer deviated from the original script so much. The only thing that is remotely close to the original stage play is the lead character played by Ciara wanted to sing secular music and her mother did not want her to. This remake unlike Dreamgirl's which did a wonderful job of respecting the original script, is a tragedy. This film was way too modernized for my taste. I do give the producer/director credit for having good actors however, there wasn't much they could do with such a crappy script. I also give them credit for including Deleon Richards at the end, who played Doris Winters in the original play. And if I'm not mistaken, I believe D'Atra Hicks, Deleon's understudy also had a cameo. Overall, if you have ever seen the original don't waste your time. If you have not seen the original and you think this movie will give you a good glimpse into what the play was like....Don't waste your time!!!

3.0 out of 5 starsCiara.......
By Miss Shopallthetimeonline on March 13, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I love all the characters of this film. I do love Ciara, but her voice just did not go for it in this movie. She's a great entertainer, but her singing too me was off. I know I cannot sing either, but a little more effort she could have been applied. I really like that fact that this movie was solely shot in "NEW ORLEANS" my home town. Great storyline it reminded you of the Preachers Kid a bit......try a lot!

4.0 out of 5 starsThere Was Much Said In This Movie To Give The Audience Something To Think About
By K. L. Burchett VINE VOICE on February 28, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I like the way the filmmaker did the opening; the sepia tone (warm brown tone) surely got my attention. It kind of had a feel of a classic movie - even though it wasn't in black and white - and I love to watch classic movies. I also enjoyed listening to Reverend Winter (Marvin Winans)singing right from the start.

Amara (Ciara): She's young Doris (Mariah Roberson) when the movie begins and she's using her beautiful singing voice for the Lord. Seven years later, she's singing in the club and then she gets a manager and rises to pop stardom. She remembered the words her father spoke to her when he was alive, but she took them out of context, the way some Christians misinterpret Scripture. But whatever choices she made when she stopped singing for Jesus, it was obvious she didn't stop caring about Him. Still, the question she asked her mother at the dining room table, she should have asked herself.

Doris' brother, Luke (Kevin Phillips): A gifted photographer and my favorite character. His dreams of becoming a photo journalist took him to a dangerous place.

Doris' mother, Lillian (Lynn Whitfield): Did she want to build a mega ministry for Jesus or gain recognition for herself? She was not happy with the woman her daughter had become, but she couldn't see the woman she had become.

Horace Payne (Ben Vereen): I liked his words of wisdom and he was witty.

Amara's Manager (Billy Zane): An irritating man.

Revelation Network: Were they looking to expand to reach the lost or for financial gain?

There was a scene with Lillian and Smokey Norful (as himself) that showed how `unreal' television ministry can be at times, but it did make me laugh. And the scene where Luke was talking to Horace was touching.Read more ›
