I'm in Love with a Church Girl

I'm In Love With A Church Girl gets an "A" for sincerity, but only maintains a "C" for the final result. Rapper Ja Rule stars as the real life Miles Montego of San Jose, California who through new found faith in God comes all the way out of his former life as a drug seller and a gang banger.

Now he's into concert promotions which is legitimate unto itself, but certainly is still an atmosphere in which Ja Rule's former profession flourishes. But Ja Rule meets Adrienne Bailon who is a nice church going girl and pretty soon he's not only liking her, but her wholesomeness and purity stemming from her devout Christian upbringing.

Of course law enforcement isn't quite buying Ja Rule turning over a new leaf and they've got Stephen Baldwin on surveillance checking him out throughout the film.

I'm In Love With Church Girl borrows from the old master of religious spectacle Cecil B. DeMille. Not that this film has a DeMille like budget, but DeMille was a big believer in selling religion with a little sex. Somehow I could not quite buy Adrienne Bailon as a church going born again with those skirts up to her privates and showing a most ample buttocks. Maybe I'm just a Philistine, but somehow I think that's what got Ja Rule's attention.

The cast gave some good performances and how much of it happened to Miles Montego in real life is a source of speculation. I know DeMille would have approved this picture.

People only want God when they are sick and sad.

Then they don't like God when they are sad. Christians don't care about the bible they just want to make it to heaven and be rich.

This is what this films teaches us.

Ja's acting is decent good. The other girl from Cheeta Girls, her acting has not improved at all. Its about the same. Not sure why Miles didn't end up in prison while everyone else did.

These christian movies are really cliche and bad. They prove that christianity is a demonic drug that has nothing to do what the bible says.

Gangster meets a church-girl and goes good didn't sound too shabby for a movie, and Ja Rule's name is a sure-shot to boost up the street-cred but... And I do mean but... This is one of the preachiest movies I have ever seen in my whole life... Granted, it's a Gospel movie company that did it BUT does that mean that they have to refer to God or the bible in 75% of all the scenes in the movie? They even gave God a executive producer spot for the movie lol... And there are no gangsterish scenes to be talked about either, Ja Rule is out of the gangster-life already when the movie starts so it's not as much of a "coming of age"-story as I expected either... Acting-wise Ja Rule is actually pretty good, but the script and dialogue is sometimes not even bearable due the writers trying to constantly push their Gospel-agenda down the viewers throats... If however you are super-religious and go to church every Sunday (like everyone should do according to the movie) then yeah you might like it...

Well... it's that kind of Christianity so fashionable these days that offers a cool God of the world and therefore very lacking in meaning. This is what this movie is, it is a movie of the world, no matter how much they speak of God, it is empty, excessively materialistic and completely leaves aside the essence and the teachings of our Lord.

It's sad to see something like that....

This movie gives a terrible example, not to mention the Pastor.... seriously, what kind of Pastor is that? Makes me sick.

Please be alert to the lie of Satan so present today in Christian circles.

This movie was so silly and full of nonesense. church girl was with him for his money, his character was piece of crap and all of the movie is about money talks idiom . I don't know but I got GTA san andreas vibes from main character
