TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Chloe Bailey played the character of Little Lilly while Beyonce played the character at an older age. Beyonce would later sign Chloe and her sister Halle as a group, Chloe X Halle, to her record label Parkwood. Beyonce signed the duo before she remembered their theatrical connection.

Other than Darrin's marriage proposal, Darrin and Lilly never state their love (or true feelings) towards each other at all in the film.

Beyoncé gained weight for the role.

The church pews and minister's podium in the movie were taken from St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Atlanta and moved into a church in Senoia Georgia (the white one with the turret used in the exterior scenes). The minister's office, kitchen and the rehearsal space that's not the choir loft where they perform was filmed in the Atlanta church. St. Paul's used the money for allowing filming in the church to add air conditioning to the sanctuary.

Cuba Gooding Jr.'s father is the lead singer of the 70's band The Main Ingredient.

Popular Dialogues

"Reverend Lewis: Love your enemies, it will drive them crazy."

"Lilly: You know what Sally told me once? She said when like makes you have to put up with mean and hateful people, just think of 'em as sandpaper. They may scratch you, rub you the wrong way... But eventually, you'll end up smooth and polished. And the sandpaper? It's just gon' be worn out and ugly."
