First Sunday ★ 2008 (PG-13)

Durell (Ice Cube) and LeeJohn (Morgan) are buddies who both find themselves in need of some large money in a big hurry in order to escape tight spots. Naturally, they hatch a plan to rob the local Baltimore neighborhood church since, hey, who else has that kind of cash? Just one problem: someone has already unloaded the safe, and a handful of church officials are on hand to witness the whole caper. Undaunted, the two pals take the whole lot hostage, setting up a few lame attempts at humor as the characters find themselves stuck together. The overly sweet choirmaster (Williams) proves to be a high point in a mostly predictable and ridiculous movie. See this one if you have the entire N.W.A catalogue on your iPod. 98m/C DVD .
