David A.R. White stars in the fish-out-of water comedy Brother White as an associate pastor at a wealthy California megachurch who finds himself the pastor of a poor inner-city church in Atlanta. Though neither White’s family nor his new congregation are enthusiastic about this move, everyone quickly learns that their superficial differences pale in comparison to the enormous task of saving the church. And though faced with a life-changing dilemma, the pastor discovers the true meaning and value of ministry and family. 

The cast includes Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live) as White’s wife and Reginald VelJohnson (Family Matters) and Jackée (Sister, Sister) as parishioners who show the new minister the ropes while providing the movie’s comic relief. Though the film’s story suffers from predictability, its takeaway message includes a refreshing, biblically centered view of ministry—even while dealing with issues both serious (e.g., parenting rebellious children) and comical (e.g., showy, entertainment-driven churches). As an added bonus, gospel singer BeBe Winans makes a guest musical appearance on what is overall an enjoyable family flick. —Felicia Abraham
