Some movies with this kinda of plot could be really cheesy! But I thought every actor was just exactly in the right role. Cuba and beyonce together was ..........it was just like peanut butter and chocolate. For me spiritually it was pretty powerful. And for kid well im 11 i think 10 and up could enjoy it. the sexual content was not very bad it was never really in your face it was very un-often. PLEASE BELIEVE ME IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About The Fighting Temptations
Parents need to know that one character is an unwed mother who's shunned by the church. There are some sexual references, including a man who brags about his conquests and asks children if they know he's their daddy and a crude reference to Mary Magdalene. One of the church leaders is exposed as a hypocrite who lied about her husband leaving her. Darren smokes expensive cigars and several characters drink, one to excess in a manner that's intended to be humorous.

THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS
THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS as a movie is......Awful. I did not like Cuba. Or the chessy script. But....a ray of hope there still may be.....The singing......is MAGNIFICENT with a double underline. Beyonce shines and is mostly the best actor and Mike Epps and crew give a mostly funny performance but Cuba Gooding Jr. Cuba Gooding Jr. Cuba Gooding Jr., my he is just getting farther and farther away from his JERRY MAGUIRE Oscar win. Parent Section: Sexual Content is at a minimal except for some sultry performances by Beyonce yet with taste. Violence is not present. Drugs/Alcohol consists of Cuba smoking cigars and such. Beers, wine is drank. Language-- a somewhat sexual remark about a women's buttocks.
