um I coulda sworn she said she goes to support all of his movies bc he employs black people. does that mean she is required to like them all? i think not 🙂

it MUST be a slow news day for you….didn’t this movie come out like 3 weeks ago? This review would have been relavent back then….smh

I saw the movie and it was okay. I didnt think Tyler should have been the leading male role because all I kept thinking about was "Madea".

Your post sounds just like that angry black woman that you’re speaking about! Who are you to say who TP can and can’t have in HIS movie? In my opinion Thandie’s potrayal was that of an everday single mom who is trying to make it but everytime she turns around it’s something that tries to bring her down or break her but nevertheless what or who God has for her was for her! Who are you to judge that? It sounds like to me SOMEBODY (Straightfromthea) is upset because they didn’t get an invite to the Obama reception!

So a black woman "with all that attitude and neck rolling" is a sterotype but "tracks would have been flying e’rywhere ‘cause somebody’s “A”zz woulda been beat" isn’t?

The movie was decent…I had no problem with Tyler portraying the main character. And let’s be real there are plenty of men in corporate america that would "d*ck down the hired help". Trust and believe there are plenty of side pieces out there getting broke off by the CEO. Remember Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky…Monica wasn’t a maid but she was an intern and the hired help. And do we need to bring up Massa sneaking down to the slave quarters to get what his wife wasn’t giving him. And the most infamous hired help turned concubine – Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings they had several kids from his sneaking into Sally’s bed (and all this went on under Martha Jefferson’s nose).

This movie was so 3 or more weeks ago…this ‘review’ probably should’ve come out then. All in all it was a decent movie…I’ve seen much worse.

That was a good summury of this movie. I thought the same damn thing!!

It was just ok..that’s it

Wow! I enjoyed the movie. You just mentioned the video of Tyler endorsing your site just last week and now you are going in on him…hard!

I’ve noticed a different tone in your writing lately and thought it would get better. I don’t know if you are going through something personally and it is affecting you or maybe your hormones are all out of wack, but you are beginning to sound just like those other "bitter" female bloggers.

Well, I don’t have time for such negativity. And yes, I know this is your forum where you express your own opinions, but when it goes this far, it’s too much. I have a choice to read your bloggs or not and I choose "NOT". You’ve just lost a loyal reader.

I gotta agree with most of your words,its hard seeing Tyler in this role after seeing him in so many Madea dresses. The Brian White thing,well they needed an angry man role …Tyler movies always need that hateable male character.I gave it a R ,for But I should have saved my money until the DVD came out and rented it.Iam still sit threw all Tyler Perry movies anyway

I loved it. Love Tyler

How much did TP pay you to throw him under the bus and drive over? Except, for the most part…ding ding ding; Give that girl a prize. I thought the movie had good intentions and was a nice fairy tale to keep a lot of women single waiting on "Prince Negro the Hero." I too am glad TP employs, but the movie might had garnered some award notice had a strong lead played Wesley. I was down right disapointed by the airplane kiss. I did not swoon at all. But, I am not mad at TP. He keeps trying.

Wasn’t that great waiting for that exciting climax ..

That scene where he was ridin’ that bike with Tandie huggin’ his back and that bangin’ sountrack!!…chile puleeease.

There will always be critics about something when something is portrayed in a positive light, versus the norm. I saw this while I was in salon on Tuesday. I loved the movie and its message !! Wish more people saw the character for what HE was, and not what they think it should be. The script is highly relatable. There are a plethora of people with that storyline, and if you say no — then you might be one of them. Love this, Tyler. Keep up the wonderful work.

BRAVO ATLien!! We’ve all thought it. I’m glad you said it! TP needs a smooth seat in a screenwriting program somewhere! It’s been old. I told him in a personal email that he doesn’t seem to value the intellectual black dollar. People who watch movies and know about plots, characters and such. He hasntgiven us anything 100% believable. What upsets me even more is that people like Cathy Bates, Phylisha Rashad, and other great actors fall for the money and ignore these SORRY A’ZZ SCRIPTS! Do they need the money that bad?

so you are really going to hate on TP like that???? So sad

Very good movie

This is what I took from the movie: Wesley Deeds was a man who had his entire life planned out for him and doing what is expeced: take over his father’s company, play interference between his angry brother and his mother, and marry a nice woman. That was life plan that he was on until he met Lindsey. He does a nice ‘deed’ to help Lindsey and that sets him on a different path: should he continue with the life he thought he wanted OR what his heart is telling him to do.

Omg black ppl is so hard to please dey have to compliant abt sumthing. To be honesty I enjoy the movie have to be one of his best wrk yet only becuz ppl go though dis all da time. I’m a black woman n yes black woman alway have an attitude abt something I love Tyler Perry cuz his movie tell u the truth. Dis website is getting on my last nerve u alway have to compliant abt sumone or sumthing

Wow, wow, and wow! I totally disagree with your review and I’m pleased that so many of the posters agree with me.

Believable – when walking into a theater one must suspend belief at least to a certain degree! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it was great to see this movie in a theater with such a diverse crowd. Really, we all laughed and cried together (yeah, I’m kind of sappy).

One thing about Tyler’s movie is that emotions are over the top. If you have an angry or evil woman/man you can believe that they are to the extreme. A big part of his movies is redemption. Therefore, he tend to show the lowest of the lows as well as the highest, etc.

Yeah, I agree that there are many actors that could have handled this role. But you know, somehow it really worked for me with him in the lead. I couldn’t see him playing the lead in Training Day, or some other Denzel/Will/Samuel type role but that’s not what this movie was about. He stayed in his lane.

Plausibility? Lacking in some areas but again, I’m at the movies to be entertained:)

Well I saw the movie and the storyline was good but, I agree with you that Tyler should have not been the leading man. I wish he could for once just make a movie that he does not star in.

I thought the it was a fairy tale and TP was the prince…kinda sweet and harmless and not intended to be "real". Maybe that’s just me.

Tyler Perry Movies have become a waist of time! I wait for them to go on DVD and rent them at Redbox. And then I still even think I’ve waisted a buck. Tyler Even Madea has gotten old.

It’s not what you said in your review ( because some would definitely agree with you) it’s the way you said it! Ok another leading man could have played the part, however he’s a self-made millionaire went from bieng homeless to now living his life dream on screen. You knew he played the lead role before you paid your money to see it and for that he said thank you to you and the other several millions that watched it and made it # 2 in the box office! Not everyone can look like your Denzel’s or your Blair Underwoods, but he’s living his dream, while at the same time trying to motivate others. We’re all entitled to our opinions, but next time don’t try so hard tearing someone else down, it would have taken less energy to have at least said one thing positive.

I loved the movie. As usual, with all of his sotrylines, he got his point across. You sound like one of those old bitter black women in your post. Other folks tear black productions, happenings, events down. Why do YOU have to?? *smdh*

Haven’t seen it. Probably won’t! I’m Tyler Perried out AND to DEATH!!!!

I’m usually with u on most of ur post. But i like this movie. I think Tyler did a great job an actor. I could have done with out that shower scene

@M.Gibson!!!! Oh my GOD!You are so deep! I practically worshiped Michaelangelo Bonaparte’s work as a teenager and still. Everyone who strives,may not be the greatest,but will be the greatest doing whatever they do. Tyler is a fantastic work in progress.I cannot imagine how great he will be,but granted life,he will be an artist all will remember.Madea is understood by many,misunderstood by few. Madea’s message will be looked for by the knowing and shunned by those knowing the message they purposely don’t want to acknowledge. He is forever emerging in talent,vision and spiritual grace.Men seem to only know that as a man,he revealed too much about them and they seem to hate him for that. Their codes have been in music ever since rappers got serious. Chicks were listening to beats when they should have just listened. JayZ’s "You Must Love Me"

And also,those who are his fellow artisans,seem to carry the same degree of envy Michaelangelo’s did.We have many other movie makers but Black ones…living…we can count on one hand. Gordon Parks was an amazing movie maker/director but only had one memoriable film,"The Learning Tree".There were many progressive Black movies by Black movie makers in the forties but none can be seen unless purchased.I think this is because Blacks were portrayed as successful men and women.This is what I love most about Tyler’s movies. He is always reaching to portray the realness of who we really are when we achieve our goals.Yes there will always be the Brown’s and The Payne’s and they are as funny and funnier than Good Times,The Jeffersons and Fred Sanford all of whom no one finds fault in.

@M.Gibson; OH MY GOD!! I clicked on your avatar and was more than pleasantly surprised!! The art work is phenomenal!!

I have to disagree, I liked the movie and watched it twice. Tyler Perry is about giving messages through his movies. I don’t understand why black folks have to continue to throw each other under the bus. That’s why the other man always get the upper hand because we can never stick together! Just hate on each other!

Is this a charity? If I’m giving money to support black art I’d gladly do it as a charitable donation but don’t try to make me feel bad for not liking this shit. This movie was shit, most of his movies are shit. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy or that I don’t appreciate what he’s doing. While her words might not have been well chosen she didn’t like the movie.
