   I feel this was an excellent piece of work. The only problem I see with this film is that it is a Tyler Perry production, not that this is a bad thing. Just that it seemed that all the baggage of Mr. Perry's previous work was brought along by the pro-critics. For some odd reason it was impossible for many of the critics to see this movie as it stands by itself. It would also seem to me that the term melodrama has been incorrectly used when describing this film. By the mere definition of the word melodrama we know that it basically means over-acting, over emotional etc. But in the case of this movie, I don't see it. These women all went through extremely painful scenes, where the acting and the story line were appropriately matched. To really understand, you have to look at the baggage that each character is carrying just based on their life circumstances, I don't believe any of the critics who negatively reviewed this film did. Furthermore, the critic who says this movie is filled with clichés, I beg to differ. There wasn't any "baby daddy drama", nor was there "single mom on welfare" subject matter here. I would say, ignoring Whoopi's part, you cold interchange any race/culture into any of these women's role in this movie. Anyways, for those ignoring this movie because its a Tyler Perry production, I recommend you go see it. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

   I didn't like this movie at all. The story is all over the place. It was too hard to figure out what the plot to this movie was about. Every scene had me wondering, What is the point. DId a horrible job with this movie. I Hope the play that he wrote this from was better. This is one of tyler worst movie. Tyler Perry is a good writer at times but I think this movie would have been netter if another director made it. Tyler Perry didn't know how to direct this movie with all these outstanding actors and actress. This movie was not believable. They did a good job acting in this movie but it wasn't believable because scene after scene there was always something wrong with the character , I think he could have did a way better job with directing. Not a good movie. Could have been better. Not horrible to some people , I could understand why, but to me this is his worst movie.… Expand

   im 22 first let me say i would have respected tyler perry alot more if the had been about colored woman in slavery or along some line like that. Then wouldve of been about "colored girls" especially since he wanted to use Whoopis hate for her children and why yes woman were raped by white by men and had their children in slavery. Im not making this black and white.it just was all over the place no real plot. It was a bunch of stererotypical crap. Each story those woman had to tell could happen to absolutely ANYONE. Not just black woman are abused, infertile, raped, sexually dependent on love, pregnant and afraid or have allowed man she loved to rule her heart and judgement. I think Tyler Perry hit high volumes in the movie and it was very deep but what he used it in away that portrayed it to only be a BLACK WOMANS struggle. TYLER STICK WITH MADEA YOU KNOW HER WELL. Im very disappointed… Expand
