Movie propaganda

They're not perfect, but they are family.

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 (Jada Pinkett Smith) is sick of her bumbling, unfaithful husband Junior (Anthony Anderson).

The scripture-spouting Marguerite (Loretta Devine) prays to save her hard-living son Royce (Darius McCrary) whose chief ambition is a life on welfare. Family peacekeepers Lucille (Vivica A Fox) has her hands full with a money hungry funeral director, and her husband, Ray Bud, (LL Cool J) who would rather bury his family than his father. As the Slocumbs squabble and fight their way to the funeral, they discover new ways to define the term "dysfunctional". When Reverend Hooker (Cedric The Entertainer) threatens to derail the burial with a bad case of intestinal trouble; Ray Bud finds that Daddy Bud has a valuable lesson to teach them all before they lower him into the ground!

Theatrical report

Kingdom come is What's cooking? for dead people, as opposed to dead turkeys. There is drama, humour, frustration, relatives and a whole lot of African-American actors. It'll fill the gap on a slow Sunday afternoon but you won't remember much afterward.
