3/5 Same O' Script and Movie Formula
  by Nathan T. (SOMEWHERE)
No comments below are for racist purposes, only honest observation.

I'm comparing this to his other work Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea Goes To Jail.

This movie has the same formula as the other movies:

1. Black people = majority. White people never serve a major role in this guy's movie, the best they can be is the background actors. This is NOT a racist comment, this is the truthful observation, anyone that watches Tyler's movies, especially those listed above, should have seen it a mile away. I'd go into more details, but meh....I know this movie is situated in Atlanta and the majority are black, however, in his movies you can clearly see white people in the background so you can't possibly justify his racially VERY unbalance group of actors.

2. Has Madea (only in this movie, she appears a lot less often and has weaker lines and actions).

3. The teaching of moral value, he likes making movies that speak out to the black community, but should appeal partially as well to everyone else.

4. Usually has relationship or domestic issues like being abused or whatnot.

5. Fairytale ending or good ending. Sorry, but because he's using real life situations, he should not fool people into thinking that everything works out great in the end with everyone singing and smiling and the world is working itself out. Tell that to my life. Real life situations do NOT always end great and does not always end up with you being with some sort of hottie/stud that is perfect in every way. Also, many of the people in this movie, especially the lead actors, are unrealistically good looking. I just don't understand why someone so concentrated with real life situation portray real life in such a fabcriated and exaggerated manner. This goes for most of his movies.



Sorry to say, but this movie is nowhere NEAR as good as the two movies I listed above. Madea, as said, appears less often. The humor isn't as fun, even the drama is not as well built because you really start to notice that he's starting to use the same formula, it is almost a mimic. He's starting to lose his credibility as a writer in my personal opinion. I felt this way about this movie because it's the third one I've watched after the other two. It works in this formula:

FORMULA:
1. Girl has problem with guy.
2. Then comes the perfect black man that not only looks perfect, but acts perfect (how unrealistic? So what...you have to look good in order to be good to a woman? A perfect gentleman does NOT have to look like a stud...that's one negative to Tyler Perry's movies, he hits in a realistic mark but his characters and the way they're fabricated is unrealistic to the majority of the population)
3. Then she tries to work it out and in the end you get a moral teaching of some sort and everything works out like some sort of fairytale.

In this movie, it's a bit different from that formula, but watch those two other movies first than watch this one. You'll see that I mean. He lost a lot of credibility in my book.

Tyler Perry, if you're reading this... (LMAO Yeah right...), your movies are great! They're so good I actually made my mom watch it and she loved it, which is rare. But please change your formula and the way you write your movies. You do not have to stick with the same stuff over and over.

Maybe make a movie where the guy is the one that is abused first or the person that rescues her is not some stud. If it takes a stud to rescue a woman, then 99.9% of the women out there are doomed. Ethnicity balance is bad in his movies, please don't even try to justify this. Also, include Madea more. She lightens up the movie and makes it much more enjoyable to watch.


As always, acting in this movie is fantastic. The script just feels a bit uninspired and not as strong this time around.


5/5 Tyler Perry's best film
  by Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States)
This movie has it all,Madea,the way we love her the most,funny,honest,and doesn't take crap from no one.Ohio valleys own,Blair Underwood(Were very proud of this great actor from our home town) in a very Evil role that has to be very hard to play,and the great Cicely Tyson and Maya Angelow.
The movie has a message for everyone,and that's why this is my favorite Tyler Perry movie.

5/5 Madea is Crazy
  by Cassandra Bush (Pa.)
Excellent...I would advise everyone to buy this video. This is a very good movie. But all of tyler Perrys movies and plays are GREAT!!!

5/5 I laughed so hard, I am pretty sure I peed
  by Bridgette M. Barker
I have NEVER in my life laughed so hard at a movie. Tyler Perry is awesome as Madea! If nothing else, I dont need the story, Madea's ten minutes or so MAKES this movie. Her role as a foster parent and grit ball coach is on target and HILARIOUS!

My favorite part of the movie is the first part when she asks the girl to stop popping her chewing gum. Outrageously funny. I wished I had a Madea in my life.

The movie itself is good too, and everything works out in the end. The characters, with the exception of Lisa, aren't as fleshed out or genuine as the rest of Mr. Perry's characters, but then he makes the big bucks and I am writing this review for free.

Solid watch, worth the money and lots of fun.

5/5 G... I love that movie!
