'The Preacher's Wife' Blu-Ray Review

The Preacher’s Wife was originally released in 1996, and starred Denzel Washington, Whitney Houston, and Courtney B. Vance.  The movie is the story of a Baptist Preacher, the Reverend Henry Biggs, who is portrayed by Vance, and his wife Julia, who is portrayed by Houston, who have fallen into a bit of a rocky patch in their marriage.  The movie takes place during the Christmas season, and at one point in the movie, Rev. Biggs calls out to God for help — that help is delivered in the form of the Angel Dudley, portrayed by Washington.

When things go bad for Rev. Biggs, they go bad.  I already mentioned his marital difficulties, but in addition to that, one of the troubled teens from his church was arrested for robbing a liquor store, which he didn’t do.  Then, one of his parishioners was in the hospital.  Top it all off with a failed boiler, his son’s best friend going out of town to a foster home, and a greedy real estate agent who tried to “buy” Rev. Biggs a new church, and things definitely were not looking up for him.


In the end, Angel Dudley was, of course, able to help Rev. Biggs, and in fact, help the whole congregation in some way or another, and with a renewed heart, Rev. Biggs gives the Christmas Sermon of a lifetime.

I had forgotten how good this movie is.  During the heat of the North Carolina summer, watching a Christmas movie — even if it isn’t July — was a welcome diversion from the heat and humidity.  The movie is funny, it is heartwarming, it is a reminder that the things that matter most are the things that come from the heart.

There are nine songs in the movie that are performed by Whitney Houston, including “I Believe in You And Me.” which was a top ten hit for 1996.  The talent that Houston had was so incredible, it’s sad to see it comes to such an early end.  Still, movies like “The Preacher’s Wife” are good when they are released on Blu-Ray or DVD because it gives us a chance to remember the depth of that talent.

The Preacher’s Wife is a good movie, and being able to see it again is great.  If you have never seen the movie before, this heartwarming film will warm your heart.  It is rated PG, and other then a couple of moments where a curse word was used, I would feel comfortable with my girl watching it.
