Mama I Want to Sing

Pretty good movie

I really liked this movie I do recommend it. It maybe a low budget movie but it was still good quality and had a good storyline always like movies that has a moral to the story.

It was a pleasure to work along side of the many stars in this movie. I enjoyed seeing everything behind the scenes and the finished product. I still love this movie.

I LOVE IT...It Expain how her father entrench her goal, as a singer snd to achieveE, with the acknwoledgementof success. Al-Though her father's death was sudden. The value with her mother role was most warming and important. She replaced the father. The mother, being over-protected of her daughter singing, it always was disapproval and negative cristicim. The brother , is her super supporter. But, he's caught between the drama of his mother and sister. Her brother sign himself into the militarty. The grandfather trying to achieve and keep the family love by debugging the drama, The unfortunate sucess that mold the family togther, was a UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHER. 5+ STARS AND THUMBS UP

I like the way the filmmaker did the opening; the sepia tone (warm brown tone) surely got my attention. It kind of had a feel of a classic movie - even though it wasn't in black and white - and I love to watch classic movies. I also enjoyed listening to Reverend Winter (Marvin Winans)singing right from the start.Amara (Ciara): She's young Doris (Mariah Roberson) when the movie begins and she's using her beautiful singing voice for the Lord. Seven years later, she's singing in the club and then she gets a manager and rises to pop stardom. She remembered the words her father spoke to her when he was alive, but she took them out of context, the way some Christians misinterpret Scripture. But whatever choices she made when she stopped singing for Jesus, it was obvious she didn't stop caring about Him. Still, the question she asked her mother at the dining room table, she should have asked herself.Doris' brother, Luke (Kevin Phillips): A gifted photographer and my favorite character. His dreams of becoming a photo journalist took him to a dangerous place.Doris' mother, Lillian (Lynn Whitfield): Did she want to build a mega ministry for Jesus or gain recognition for herself? She was not happy with the woman her daughter had become, but she couldn't see the woman she had become.Horace Payne (Ben Vereen): I liked his words of wisdom and he was witty.Amara's Manager (Billy Zane): An irritating man.Revelation Network: Were they looking to expand to reach the lost or for financial gain?There was a scene with Lillian and Smokey Norful (as himself) that showed how `unreal' television ministry can be at times, but it did make me laugh. And the scene where Luke was talking to Horace was touching.I watch a movie more for the storytelling, and I pay close attention to the words that are spoken. What grabbed me and made me nod in agreement and say, Amen:1. The higher up the ladder you go, the more difficult the tests become.2. This is not about business. This is about right and wrong.3. Inside every person there is a gift, a calling. And that gift and calling is a direct link between you and God. God placed it there. But it is our responsibility, our duty, to discover, uncover and then recover that gift."I never saw the play, but there was much said in this movie to give the audience something to think about. I would have preferred a different ending, but I highly recommend this inspiring film.

I had waited a long time for this movie to come out on DVD, but after reading the other reviews I started not to watch it. However, I saw a better preview on another DVD so I decided to rent it on Amazon Instant Video. I enjoyed it so much that I plan to purchase a copy for my collection. Lynn Whitfield's last sermon was very believable and touching. Perhaps, if you've seen the actual play, you may not get what you expect, but if you watch it without the comparison, I think you may enjoy it. All I can say is watch it and judge for yourself.

I strictly got this movie for my cousin as a gag gift because each year a theatre production comes to town and in the commercial they just keep showing the actress belting out "MAMA I WANT TO SING" So it has become a running thing between us where we insert whatever word at the end and run with it. So I can't comment on the movie itself and I don't even know if she has watched it yet or not that being said it has Lynn Whitfield & Patti LaBelle in it so I can't see it being that bad.

Although this presentation has some delightful merits on its own, it is NOT a faithful depiction of the original Musical as presented on the stage. Some elements have been retained, such as a glimpse of an amazing gospel choir in rehearsal (but greatly abbreviated from the stage version).The acting is decent, and some of the singing is quite rewarding. The basic plot, that of a gospel singer who wants to become a pop superstar (against family objections), is retained. The movie can be enjoyed on its own merits, but should not be considered as a legitimate representation of the Broadway production.

I'm shocked at the reviews... It was quick shipping and a great movie.... I am happy that I had seen this movie

Mama I want to Sing was sent on time and the quality was outstanding! My compliments go out to the company! Keep up the good work!

音声は英語のみなのは良いですが、字幕に日本語がなく、意味がわからず。英語の字幕を表示して、雰囲気だけ見ました。他のレビューで「見れない」とあったので、☆は2個で。

ブルーレイプレヤーで再生しようとしても、再生できない！同じamazonで購入した[PLAYING FOR CHANGE]は綺麗に再生でき感動しましたがこのＤＶＤは「再生できません」と画面に出るだけで、映りません、、どうしたら映るのかな？？？
