  • Oh No!

    Terrible, terrible, terrible!

    This was the worst movie in the entire history of worst movies. I went because Mr. Perry's movies have been getting better but this one was just an insult to moviegoers everywhere. It was absolutely TERRIBLE. The only good in this movie was Ms. Henson's makeup and wardrobe, Ms. Blige's wardrobe and the song Ms. Blige sang in the club. The rest of this movie was predictable, stereotypical, insulting and incredibly elementary to say that Mr. Perry has done this before.

    I can't believe he got me again. I blame Oprah. I thought that by hanging out with Oprah he'd care more about what he offered Black America as entertainment since he knows how much we crave seeing people that look like us on the big screen. I thought she'd MAKE him understand just how powerful his reach is and how much he could do with it.

    I blame Oprah for my being hoodwinked into giving him yet another try. No more. I'm done. He's disrespected me as a fan one time too many.

  • Oh No!

    I feel robbed!

    A terrible dissappointment. I was so excited about another Tyler Perry movie. Big let down. Obviously low budget. Nothing was believeable, bad acting, plot wasn't developed. Felt like Madea was just added for ticket sales. No connect at all. BIG LET DOWN. I WANT A REFUND.

  • I'm In

    Stop Hating!!!!

    This message is to all the ppl, that leave negative messages and/or reviews. I myself, don't understand why you don't enjoy any of Tyler Perry's movies, the only thing I can come up with is, he must be hitting close to home, or you don't understand what his movies are really trying to say. So instead of you placing negative remarks, and saying deceitful things about Tyler Perry, you can find something else to do, because noone wants to hear negative things about someone that is trying to do good things. What are you doing? EXACTLY!!!

    With that said, Tyler Perry please keep doing what you are doing, there are too many haters in this world, and they aren't happy unless they are bringing everyone else down with them..... Always remember. " NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER " Keep on doing your thing and making the haters mad..... I love your work, and I love the fact that you don't let those ppl that don't know too much of nothing stop you.
