Sam, an aspiring singer and music producer, is sent to live with her Uncle Larry in Atlanta after misbehaving and getting arrested in LA. Sam's horror is actually her cousin Jess' fantasy, since the cheery, eccentric church girl has always wished for a sister. Jess is a member of The oil Factory's struggling praise team, which attends the PG's reformed church. sam, who has few alternatives for advancing her musical career, keeps looking for chances to gain recognition as a performer, including breaking into a house party hosted by Ty, a budding Atlanta sensation portrayed by rapper-singer Quavo. sam is compelled to join Jess on the Praise Team when things go wrong, and interestingly, this causes sam to become more open.
Generally speaking, praise This skillfully created movie blends in beautifully with the deluge of Packer and Story movies that honour and acknowledge various aspects of the Black American experience. The story contains some subtext regarding the shallowness of commercially successful churches, the stigma against repentant souls, and the strength of humility and redemption. The movie is ultimately a musical comedy with a good amount of musical performances, but it lacked strong humour.
Gordon's filmmaking is quite understated and reliable; there aren't any significant innovations or creative leaps from her previous film, Little. The movie succeeds in having Bailey's likeable and lively performances with a nice message about the strength of faith. The movie is very lackluster, despite the fact that it literally only gets by with a few chuckles here and there and the appealing actors carrying the romantic storyline. The only interesting parts of the text are the touching passages about faith and grief. Character development and comedy are nonexistent.
Praise Although incredibly inconsistent, this isn't wholly unpleasant. The film is totally fine because there is enough here. Although it follows a template, the sincerity and compelling story will move many. There is no question that Praise This will find its audience and that they will appreciate it for its recognizability and sincerity because faith and community are recognisable pillars. While the ingredients are there for a fun spectacle, it falls short as a piece of cinematic art. Live-action musical comedies are not very common right now, so it is terrible when one with a lot of potential appears and fails to take off.
