Ving Rhames hugely miscast !
Ving Rhames is so terrible in this film is cringeworthy.
You should check out 'Holiday Heart' (2000) in which Rhames plays an esteemed Pastor by day (and Gay Drag 'Artiste' by night)
Replete with feminine mannerisms and the occasional 'Diana Ross' tribute act routine....it's an over-earnest, unintentionally hilarious (potty-mouthed, Hallmark-style) TV movie, that incriminates it's audience.
