Washington plays a charming angel named Dudley who's sent to earth to help a young minister (Courtney B. Vance) and his beautiful wife (Houston) revive their marriage. But things take a hilarious twist when Dudley begins to develop feelings for the preacher's wife. A remake of the Cary Grant classic THE BISHOP’S WIFE, this critically acclaimed comedy hit also showcases nine unforgettable Houston songs, from gospel favorites to the Top 10 hit "I Believe In You And Me."
