    This latest market-savvy bit of circuit preaching is less cartoonish than Perry's previous big-tent revival meetings.

    Chockfull of cathartic moments, Perry's storytelling is best when it defies convention. Like the black man's Frank Capra, Perry tells stories in which every conflict is a test of faith and every victory a testament to the American underdog. Instead of following the proven formulas of screenwriting books, he earnestly shepherds his own messy structure.

    Subtlety has never been Perry's strength, but his previous films balanced the sermonizing with good humor and sincerity. Perhaps next time, he'll ease up on the lectures, and bring back the love.

    The movie was mediocre at best...Tyler's in yo face theater screen antics, and melodramatic, exaggerated characters sometime gets embarassing. The poor dialogue and sloppy scene transition loses and bores you into looking for other good points about the movie. It's your average black cliche movie about a down and out black person rising above adversity with sermons and speeches exploiting black people short comings. Nothing was unpredictable abourt this feel good movie.… Expand

    An inspiring well thought out film. To bad that's all it has going for it. Tyler Perry should stick to comedies, as if that still does him good. There was no real plot build-up to this one. Everything was also fasted pasted, which is not good for a movie that has a sub genre of drama. With poor performances by the cast there was no real emotion to this movie. And this is a movie that should have emotion. The fight scene at the end between Monty and the gangsters was laughable. Even thought this is a comedy I don't believe I was supposed to laugh at that scene. I would recommend this to women that basically would watch anything that would make them cry.… Expand
