Kingdom Come
The best and the worst of the Slocumb family is on display when Woodrow "Bud" Slocumb keels over from a stroke. As the town swelters in the summer heat, family tensions reach a comedic boil as the Slocumb clan comes together to remember their dearly departed. The long-suffering Charisse is sick of her bumbling, unfaithful husband Junior. The scripture-spouting Marguerite prays to save her hard-living son Royce whose chief ambition is a life on welfare. Family peacekeeper Lucille has her hands full with a money hungry funeral director, and her husband, Ray Bud, who would rather bury his family than his father. This is a good movie. Believe it or not, this is a movie that could be viewed by all family members. Little profanity, drug use, or sexual references this movie had everything a family movie could have. Great performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Darius McCrary and Anthony Anderson and stellar visuals, This movie has a place in my collection.
