PraiseThis Review: Chloe Bailey Effortlessly Carries Sentimental, Uneven Musical
Praise This is the latest project from Will Packer’s Will Packer Productions and Tim Story’s The Story Company. Directed and co-written by Tina Gordon, this original musical comedy follows a struggling Praise Team that finds its shining light of hope in the wayward wannabe pop star Sam, played by real-life singer Chloe Bailey. Faith and a coming-of-age story come together in a heartwarming, sometimes funny but underwhelming musical comedy that arrives on Peacock in time for Easter.
For the most part, Praise This is a competently made film that perfectly fits into the slew of films from Packer and Story that celebrate and acknowledge different facets of the Black American experience. The story is somewhat layered with commentary on the superficiality of commercially viable churches, the stigma against reformed souls and the power of humility and redemption.
Chloe Bailey excels here in a role that mostly requires her to be charismatic and expressive. Anjelika Washington is appropriately funny, providing the most genuine laughs for this supposed comedy. Everyone else does what they can, but only a few are given a moment to shine. Praise This is similar to another Universal Pictures film, Pitch Perfect, yet it is remarkably inferior due to its inability to utilize the ensemble cast.
