Kingdom Come is a 2001 American comedy-drama film directed by Doug McHenry and starring an ensemble cast, including LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox, Toni Braxton, and Whoopi Goldberg.
The film revolves around the Slocumb family, who gather at their rural Georgia home to attend the funeral of their patriarch, Bud Slocumb. The main conflict arises due to the fact that Bud's extended family is vastly different and often at odds with each other.
The story is told through the eyes of Bud's son, Ray Bud (LL Cool J), who is struggling to come to terms with his father's death while dealing with his own marital and financial problems. His devoutly Christian wife, Lucille (Jada Pinkett Smith), tries to keep the family together, but tensions rise as old grudges and secrets are brought to light.
Throughout the course of the film, the family comes to realize the importance of forgiveness, unity, and acceptance of one another despite their differences. The soundtrack includes songs by artists such as Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston.
Kingdom Come received mixed reviews from critics but was praised for its strong performances by the ensemble cast. The film grossed over $23 million at the box office.
