Run don't walk you don't want to miss Eddie Murphy as Mr Church
7 September 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Eddie Murphy is excellent as Mr Church he is Mr. Church! A heartwarming film that captured my attention from the opening scene to the last Closing scene. . Many a tear will be shed while watching this film, and yet it warms your heart throughout. If you have a love of food and any understanding of what it means to a person who cares about ingredients, how they put them together to create a meal for a family and then watch them enjoy that meal this movie will have your mouth watering. I was starving after the film. The musical score, Jazz in the background added a big plus to the film overall. The casting was superb, the film beautifully shot. A rare movie to enjoy in today's world.
