Achara & Michael react to The Fighting Temptations, the musical comedy that follows Darrin Hill, a New York advertising executive who returns to his Georgia hometown after inheriting his aunt’s estate, only to discover he must lead the local church choir to victory in a gospel competition to claim his inheritance. Filled with uplifting music, heartfelt humor, and memorable performances, the film celebrates faith, community, and second chances as Achara & Michael experience every laugh, song, and inspiring moment in real time. Directed by Jonathan Lynn (My Cousin Vinny, Clue, The Whole Nine Yards, Nuns on the Run, Trial and Error), the film stars Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire, Men of Honor, Boyz n the Hood, Radio, Pearl Harbor), Beyoncé (Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, The Lion King: The Gift, Obsessed, Black Is King), Mike Epps (Next Friday, The Hangover, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Sparkle, Meet the Blacks), Steve Harvey (The Steve Harvey Show, Family Feud, Think Like a Man, The Original Kings of Comedy, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man), and Faith Evans (Keep the Faith, Faithfully, The Notorious B.I.G. collaborations, R&B Divas, Soul Kittens Cabaret), bringing together a star-studded cast and acclaimed musicians for an uplifting celebration of gospel music and community. ___________________________________________________ We've got merch!
