Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Kevin Hart's rare dramatic turn before he fully committed to comedy domination. Director Bill Duke reportedly fought to keep him cast against studio concerns.

Cultural

Based on T.D. Jakes' novel, this film exemplifies the 2000s wave of Black church-to-screen adaptations that preceded Tyler Perry's empire—less camp, more earnest melodrama.
