LeToya Luckett Is The Latest 'Preacher's Kid'

OK, I know most of you probably expected me to come on here and slam this latest attempt by "us" to make a believable cinematic gospel drama. But really, I haven't come to bury Gener8Xion Entertainment's Preacher's Kid, which stars ex-Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett and R&B singer Tank. Nope. Not me. In fact, I'm more intrigued than anything, seeing as how the film incorporates every gospel cliche known to man, from the wayward child rebelling against authority (Luckett), being lured away by the trappings of secular "success," realizing it's not for them through a series of hard-knock life experiences, and then slinking back home to the waiting arms of their praise-God parents (Gregory Alan Williams). I want to see this work. The whole "I'm going out to join a touring gospel play" angle? A nice twist. Hopefully, Tyler Perry a certain cross-dressing play-turned-movie mogul doesn't sue. I'm so tempted to call this film "Papa, I Want To Sing." But only out of affection. Alas, I won't. Instead, I'll just check out Tank's acting (and apparent karate) chops and wish the entire cast (which includes veterans Clifton Powell and Ella Joyce) good luck with this. Something tells me they're gonna need it. Film hits theaters October 30th and is directed by Stan Foster. Trailer is after the bounce.
