Granted, you don't expect much from a Madea movie. I expected some fun foolishness. The are a few silly Madea segments but too much of the movie is a poorly written, poorly acted soap opera about a prostitute and the lawyer set on rescuing her. Really bad.

Has the African American family become Ernest? I am ashamed at how Tyler Perry uses loaded stereotypes with weak stories to continue to produce the same content with different names.The story seemed weak with poor acting and overall had be more frustrated at how an unintelligent viewer would look at this movie and say this is how I need to live or act. The problem with the culture in relation to the art is that you will influence the people in a way that they don't understand. While I always try to keep a positive view of anything someone takes the time to create this movie just misses the mark. His jokes are awful and the way he tried to combine stories to keep someones attention was a complete disaster. The worst part about this and many of his films is that other African Americans are paying him to watch themselves get made into people they are not. This is just low brown entertainment that is not worth wasting your time on!

I loved this movie. I have watched several other movies of Tyler Perry, and they have all been great comedy. This one was a little different with a little bit different twist, and for one of the many (hopefully), I got the meaning of the movie. Granted, it was hilarious to the point that I was laughing out loud. However, the melodrama was happy medium. This movie is just like real life if you look at it from that prospective. Laugh should be and for some really is a lot of funniness, but the reality is that "Life" happens and you will have much more melodrama than you will laughter. For Tyler Perry and this movie, he just simply swapped it around and involved more laughter than melodrama. The unlikelihood that you will learn a true lesson about life in this movie; you must really be intuned into the movie in order to get it. I took away from the movie this: "Life will be a mixture of both laughter and pain. However just like the movie said, you only have one life and it is only up to us individually how we spend it. As far as Forgiveness, it takes a strong person to forgive themselves for their own faults and mistakes and to start fresh in life no matter their age or gender. The laughter helps you remember the happy moments in your own life, and the melodrama helps you remember that the melodrama, although not easy to deal with, is necessary to learn anything out of what happens in our lives by the choices whether simply or huge that we individually make." For the record, I am not a professional writer. I am a single Mother of three who has seen the good and more so the bad in Life and choose not to let the bad rule my life. How about you?

I'm really not sure why this film is getting such a bad rep. on IMDb, but the general public LOVED this one. What a winner! The two different plots in the this film were brilliant! This way, the movie had a little bit of everything. The whole time I was on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't say the two different stories "meshed" well, but there was a great moral to be learned. My favorite thing about this movie, and all of Tyler Perry's films, is the wonderful "feel good" mood they leave you in. His productions can always brighten the day. Enough said, this movie was more than satisfactory. Some people are clearly just too hard to please.
