May 22nd, 2008

Grafting moral uplift on to a slapstick caper with mixed results, this nevertheless captures some of the giddy eccentricity of the Ealing comedies it haphazardly resembles. In First Sunday, Ice Cube departs a bit from the upright-citizen persona, playing a man driven to crime by desperate circumstances. The least funny man ever to make a career in comedy buy dvd movie, Ice Cube hauls his sullen mug back in front of the cameras for the execrable First Sunday. With its unlikely but sweet-natured story, First Sunday is a cut above most of the January junk that floods the theaters this time of year. Getting religion in the end is no excuse for a parade of bad taste. Ice Cube is now Public Enemy Number Fun, although First Sunday is only fun if youre in dire need of a modernist urban take on the strain of comedy Abbott and Costello used to practice, which, lets be honest, wasnt that funny to begin with.
