Tyler was given the keys to the Hollywood castle because he’s committed to portraying black people in a predominantly negative light. It’s sad that his ego prevents him from seeing this reality.
I disagree i think he portrays the good, the bad, and the ugly of the black community.... almost everything that happened in this movie happened to someone i know.
When Dsllas was drunk.by the toilet and said his mother made him kill his father ..Tyler Perry should've had a flash back scene when Dallas was a kid watching his dad abuse his mother ..& then showing how his mom made Dallas kill his father ..that would've gave the viewers a better understanding of Dallas's trauma & anger
@@MyDibbs25 Yes if Tyler hadve done a flash back scene when Dallas as a kid & showed the trauma he went through..the movie.wouldve been much better..because he had Dallas walking around as a angry black man with not enough back story as to WHY
The black community needs to finally admit that our support of Tyler Perry has very little, if anything, to do with his actual talent. I’ve never enjoyed his content, from Madea plays on up. Terrible writing, one dimensional characters, scatter brain plots, continuity errors, stereotypical nonsense. I don’t trust this man with my time 😂
FYI But Tyler Perry used to have a writer's room for a few of his shows and movies starting in the beginning (House of Payne and The Family That Preys and the Why Did I Get Married). He fired these black writers because to quote him, " He does not pay people to critique him." Also, Tyler did not want to pay his writer's the SAG minimum. He also does not like to pay his actors the SAG minimum (unless they are more marquee actors like Tariji, Megan, Gabrielle, and Idris, etc.,). They have to sign a contract stating they are taking the job with the knowledge they will not be paid the required SAG minimum. I have said for years that Tyler Perry hates black women and continues to push the stereotypes placed on us to mainstream media.
By denying them SAG wages he also denies them ability to get health insurance through SAG union....which is pretty inexpensive compared to buying Individual health insurance thru Obamacare/ACA. Tyler Perry is a whole capitalist with a WS view of Bw...he's cosplays as a Bm who cares about Bw and it's all an act to gain more wealth...for himself.
@@jdbruce and [earlier] House of Payne actually had some decently funny episodes. Gotta love how capitalists like Tyler intentionally sabotage high-quality just to make more money
To answer your question: NO! Pastors NEVER imply that the deceased is probably burning in hell. No matter who the person is they tend to imply that this terrible person is in heaven because they accepted Christ when they were in kindergarten .
My cousin was murdered in 2001 when he was 25. He was into some things that he shouldn’t have been, but he wasn’t a violent person. The pastor did allude to young black men needing to stop leading lives of crime, which my aunt, his mother felt was very uncalled for. At the time of his passing we didn’t even know the full extent of his other life so it wasn’t good. Aretha Franklin’s funeral comes to mind as well, the pastor that did that eulogy used that opportunity to disparage single black mothers. I’ve also seen other attendees of funerals say bad things about the deceased. So yeah, sometimes ppl can go rogue and use their own agendas at those times.
@@_jordanslyricI understand if the pastor wants to urge young people to turn their lives around while they still have the chance, but it’s so mean to insult the deceased like that. The loved ones are the ones being hurt and they don’t deserve that. I don’t know what I would do in that situation 🤷🏽♀️.
I ALMOST watched this, this weekend, then I remembered how bad Mia Culpa was, checked the 2 1/2 stars on Amazon and said, NOPE! I'm not going to keep rewarding him with my views. I love that he gives blk actors and actresses roles and more money but blk viewers also deserve quality movies. At this point, it seems obvious TP does not care how bad his movies are, I'm sure he sees/hears the reviews. After all these years, surely he would improve. Hiring these actors/actresses that we WANT to root for is a trick and I'm not falling for it anymore.
I personally don't give a fig about these Blk actors and actresses willing to debase themselves in order to pay their rent. Tyler Perry seeks are Black actors and actress broke enough and desperate enough and pays them just enough to keep them coming back for more. He's not paying these people millions. As a Bw, I wish Bw would STOP supporting his trash.
This movie is so terrible. I try to support black films, but Tyler Perry movies are so cliche. The acting in this is horrendous, and the storytelling is lacking any real substance.
@spicyhot2552 it was more than that, TP should have developed each character more. It makes no sense that his wife is so devoted to her husband but sleeps with someone so quickly. The brothers' relationships, and yes, Dallas trauma. However, it was all so surface level bs. I couldn't emotionally connect with anyone in the film. It felt rushed and forced. When you watch a movie like Precious, you feel her level of trauma and how ruined her relationship with her mother is. But this show failed miserably. There was no real connection. I respect Tyler Perry for creating a means to build black actors and to pay them according to their talent, but his stories need more of a refinement. Spike Lee movies have dimensions, and he didn't always focus on the lowest essence of our community, even when he filmed a woman owning her sexual prowess. I remember watching Do the Right Thing and how angered I was that a black life was lost, yet most people were so desensitized to black loss that they felt more for the destruction of the Italian shop. I hope TP will be able to allow other writers and directors to make movies besides himself. There are so many who have stories and voices to uplift but do not have the opportunities afforded to them. I understand there are different black communities, and I would love to see more representation. One's that are also positive portrayal of our people. I notice a lot of the lighter skinned brothers always play a heroic role in his films. Our darker brothers need positive roles too.
My mother in law can’t stand me either but not to the Tyler Perry level 😂. It’s more subtle like forgetting to send me a Christmas card or shading my appearance or leaving me off a family member’s obituary, you know, stuff like that. Tyler need to call me for accurate mother in law/ daughter in law vice tips😅
LOL yeah I wish Tyler understood that he didn't have to amp things up to 100% all the time. Sprinkling a buildup of drama throughout it so much more effective.
Exactly, this is the type of things they do . My husband gave his mom the money to get 4 family reunion shirts for him ,me, and the girls. Why did the 4th have her name and not mine 😅.
Apologies if I missed it, but has anyone explained how supposedly the divorce signing was at 11am but they immediately went to a party *at night* to celebrate the divorce? I watched that part twice and still don't get it
And who was sending all the photos? They had to be in their hometown wherever that is and ATL at the divorce party. Oh yeah and who killed the animals? The brothers and Dallas never admitted to it, but Dallas admitted to shooting the father when it was the brothers.
I feel like he hates black men most of his male characters are either abusive, jobless, abusive with a high paying job or suspect with muscles but that's another topic . At least the women has high paying jobs and successful.
The stereotypical bk wmn tropes in his movies are always evident… the mother in law represents the single bk mother stereotype and touches on her being detriment to her sons thus affecting the bk community… her behaviour was so exaggerated and obnoxious.. even her imagery… overweight, loud and dramatic… Megan goods character is the hard working bk wmn who dates down… Tyler Perry is consistent in making trash films and displaying negative connotations of bk wmn… so unfair that he continues to create films like this…
In the USA you can bury people on your private property. Many people have family graves in their backyards. It only works once you’ve obtained a legal documentation of death. (i.e Tell the government that they died so it doesn’t look like you murdered someone and are trying to hid it.) Then, the body has to be properly prepared depending on what you want (embalm it, refrigerate it, or cremate it). After that you can do whatever. (Normal funeral, throw the urns in the ocean, bury them in your backyard yourself,etc) 🤷🏾♀️ What the family did in the movie is an unusual way of going about it but completely legal
@@jdbruce thanks for this very informative comment. I had no idea. That’s so interesting. Tbh, I’m not sure what rules we have up here in Canada. Somehow, I think they are different from the US’s, as I’ve never heard about anything similar.
Tyler p. Is regurgitating the same movie (diary of a black woman), over and over . Every movie has to have a church scene , a pastor, a , a wedding, a fight , arguing . I'm scratching my head now like what is Tyler doing . You have the biggest movie studio in the country and the writing hasn't got better . Hire people with better talent than you .
💯I agree. There is no growth with him. After all these years of being a powerhouse, you’d think he’d want to elevate his content … but I guess he doesn’t. It’s a real shame.
Tyler Perry has to rely on these actors who aren’t getting roles anywhere else. No top tier, in demand actor will go near him. Unless he has some blackmail material, he’ll never get Denzel Washington. Now, there’s the Megan Goode, “he paid me my worth tour.” So, annoying.
Exactly 💯 Toilet Paper studios is where careers go to die. Everyone in the entertainment industry know that Toilet Paper is NOT to be taken seriously. Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johnnassen...all the A-LIST actors and actresses ain't f*** with him. Only the D-list celebrities who got bills to pay are desperate enough to work with Toilet Paper. 😂😂😂
In my view, he persists in creating caricatures of Black individuals because it is lucrative, which in turn allows him to pay Black actors and actresses their value ("reparations").
Hands down, the worst movie of all time! This was straight comedy, my girlfriend and I never laughed so much in our lives during a movie. The father in the grocery store at the end of the isle and 2 seconds later at the other end of same isle peaking through saying “snitch”. They broke all rules and remain sloppy and insensitive to the art of film. Embarrassing , not taking your craft serious is how the mighty fall.
@@LuriluxCommericals I agree! Actually, Tyler Perry has actually outdone himself in my opinion… Because I thought “temptation: confessions of a marriage counselor” was his worst film ever…..and I am WRONG….😂😂😂
Also poor editing...when Dallas and Benji were fighting, Benji was in a black boxers...when it was done and he went back upstairs, he was in a black pants
Yesss I thought my family and I were the only ones to witness the misdirection with the divorce signing scene. This movie was poorly done on so many levels and lacked so much depth.
@@_ChildofGod_3 yeah it was just so bad. It seems as though TP doesn’t watch any good tv shows at all to get tips. I think he’d be a much better writer/director after watching a season of Succession or something of a similar calibre.
Debbi Morgan's acting made the film worthwhile. The story reflects real issues: terrible parenting, strict religious upbringing, unresolved abuse, alcoholism, and toxic pride. Tyler Perry shows both good and bad dynamics in Black households, pushing boundaries for entertainment. I'm glad Black representation is expanding, though I'm not a fan of shows like The Oval. I wish the story developed better instead of relying on dialogue for backstory. Perry might be vague to develop characters in future films. Mother Bertran and her boys could be Ma Barker-type characters in a new film.
Let’s not even talk about Tyler paying hardric 75 million for this movie. I feel like Tyler felt sorry for him after his divorce. The man needs more acting chops before he deserves such a huge amount of money for a low acting actor
It’s seriously the worst movie I’ve watched all year!!!! Tyler Perry seriously needs to employ some writers to get fresh, less contrived, more realistic and less cliched storylines!
"Do you want to lose your job, b🤬?" 🤣 The scene where Ava signed the divorce papers was weird. They way Dallas, Rona, and Rona's husband were looking all shifty, I thought they were in cahoots to steal Ava's house or something. If you had seen more TP productions, you would know he also has a thing about black women losing their homes. 😂 Typical TP shenanigans. Good background noise while doing other things. 👍🏾
I get the dramatic acting stems from his plays, but I still think that's no excuse for using the worst stereotypes to portray black people and the prominent plot holes in his stories. I get black people don't have to support his work, but I think black people who are in Tyler Perry's position need to be more responsible with their platforms. At this point, I think Tyler Perry is lazy because he has the resources to make more compelling films if he wants to.
Tyler shoots his projects too fast. Preproduction and postproduction is usually between one to three weeks. Production is between one to three weeks. This man is filming whole movies in three weeks. He Films a whole television season in two weeks give or take.
It’s such a joke! I don’t know why he thinks he can produce quality that quickly when everyone else in the industry takes so much more time … but on second thought, I don’t think quality is a factor to him.
The father in the feed store is suppose to be a farmer and pastor but hes in the feed store spying on his daughter's conversation. Where's is the integrity in the writing . At any moment the characters morph into characteristics that are not true to the character.
The writing in this film is horrible. Tyler Perry needs to hire some serious writers who know how to write multi-faceted characters. Nearly, all the characters in this movie were one-dimensional especially Dallas, played by Corey. He was such a hard character to like from beginning to end, he never softened or had a moment of reflection, even when talking about how he was made to kill someone. Makes you wonder what a smart, sensitive young woman saw in him in the first place?! Tyler really should hire women writers to right for his female characters b/c he does have a problem with women.
Yeah I was trying to figure out what Megan saw in him and then to find out they had been together since she was 17 and now almost 40 and Corey's character was just so angry 😅like why???? I think it's TP internal hatred for women that comes out in these movies. He needs to deal with his own trauma. Being that his audience doesn't even have high expectations for him most of us with sense could at least give the characters a little bit of depth. And still manage not to go over budget 😅but that's the soft bigotry of low expectations for ya
People just want to be entertained. I grew up with ppl like this. Chasing after nothings n dirt bags. Watching those nothings n dirt bags be jealous bcuz the other person came from a good loving home. Mad at the world, lazy drunks dope heads, baby daddy all over the place. It's a movie that is happening in real life. But ppl just want to be entertained.
Divorce in the black (Part 2) is probably coming and it would explain why the mother is mad at Corey wife. Corey looking for control instead of him finding his own peace. It’s called “Control” and has nothing to do with black women. That’s trauma because Corey was force to do something to his father. Corey said his own mom made him do something. Corey mom ruled over 4 grown men. Trauma could have come from his mother.
I think Tyler Perry mirrors the Nigerian movies I remember back in the day when I used to get my hair braided a Nigerian she used to watch these crazy African movies that did not make any sense just over the top but then at the same time you can't help but watch because they're just so ridiculous and can be very addicting at the same time so maybe he is thinking that will work in America😅 either way who cares he's making money😂 if he gets complaints about the movie he will not care he's a damn billionaire
My sister used to watch a lot of Nigerian movies while getting her hair done too. I'm happy that Tyler's so financially and commercially successful - I just wish he'd aim for some critical success too.
@@iseemelanie you know he's not going to even think about the critical success he even said it LOL being that he hires the top black actors and actresses for his horrible movies and also that he's rolling in the dough and providing jobs for blacks this is his pass for everything which is really typical businessman thinking so it is what it is unfortunately🤷♀️
@@iseemelanieI hate to say it, because I love my Nigerian braider and I have roots in Nigeria. But, geez some of these Nigerian movies are very Tubi-esque. My braider loves them. I can't tell her NOTHING! 😭
T. Perry's films do show black relationships in a negative way. And he is a blackmale feminist. However, the real problem is those people who bankroll the negative movies he FEEDS to them. And they also it up. If the people weren't attracted to or desired negativity, his movies would have no traction.
Cool video , My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love him so much I can’t stop thinking about him, I’ve tried my very best to get him back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of him, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss him and just can’t stop thinking about him
Have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about two years ago, but I could not let him go, so I had to do all I could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring him back, now we are back together, and I must say I am enjoying every moment.
I think your analysis is spot on. It was odd, to me, that TP chose not to develop the family trauma Dallas suffered. Plus, the characters were so unlikeable: Ava - weak, MIL - diabolical, Dallas - violent and ABM, Best friend - Stereotypical BW trope, Brothers - town menaces, Ava's parents - loving, yet overly judgmental/preachy. Overall, it didn't come across as authentic.
Yes! That’s one thing I meant to get into more - her parents were supportive ultimately, but at points they were basically calling her a dumbass lol. It was so weird!
Tyler Perry's films are becoming increasingly formulaic, almost as if he's relying on templates and Chat GPT to churn them out. This latest one is by far his worst: predictability at its finest, riddled with tired, overplayed stereotypes about black men being no good. It's painfully clear that Perry is surrounded by a bunch of yes men who won't challenge him. The script was atrocious.
The characters lacked depth, making it difficult to engage with the story as some scenes were overly extended. The narrative leaned more towards comedy than substance. While comedic relief is understandable, it seemed more like a time filler here. Staying engaged was a struggle. I managed to finish it today, though.
(In My Opinion) Tyler Perry is Dramatic because he is actually an Amazing Storyteller and a Play Writer! (He Started There!) Unfortunately, yes Even After All These Years He Still Makes Movies and TV Series Like; (He Is Still Writing His Plays!) I'm Glad He Pushed Through The Years and Helped Make a Way People. I Love His Storytelling!❤ Just Doesn't Quite Hit The Mark 🎯 on Films! I Really Think He Should Think about Diving in and Being an Author! 📚 📖 💯 The Movie 🎥 in its Entirety for me was a 3/5 for Me!💯 Great Review💯💜
Even though everything you said is true, I don’t agree that it’s because Tyler hates black women, I think he just wrote a story of real life issues, and that’s the fact that a lot of good successful women stay in abusive marriages/relationships due to many many reasons, like thinking they can change him, or thinking because they put in years of their lives they would be loosing something, like when she mentioned she would be turning 40 soon almost like turning 40 is a death sentence and no one would truly want her or like pressure from family and friends to stay so it does not look like they failed, which is why her dad told her she had nothing to prove to him, in conclusion, this movie brought light to real life issues, at the end, she left, and to me that’s a win, no one should stay in an abusive marriage, ever!
To everything, there is a season. Every content creator has their peaks and valleys in the field creativity. Tyler is like a restaurant and a chef who receives accolades during the grand opening however over some time the chef will be replaced. There were key essential staff that is no longer there.
For me it has deep cussing n it. I didn't know that he did that. I dont do movies with heavy cussing. So that already a no 4 me. Just like that bad boys movie. Not sure y TP is doing movies with cussing n it now.
@@beverlyrhett3515 yeah I’ve read that. I never really watched AMC - my grandparents used to but I just never got into it. I’ve been a Y&R girl since I was 5. When Debbi was cast over a decade , I read that she came from AMC.
I enjoyed the movie. You know the saying: you can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
@@ansbach74 I liked it because I’m a fan of Lifetime Original Movies and this reminded me of one of those. It ran a little too long though. I shut it off after he attacked the mom at the grocery store.
My family enjoyed it also....I guess I really can relate and appreciate Tyler Perry's movies like these, because I have experienced similar things in a toxic abusive marriage, narcissistic relationships and just dealing with REAL CRAZY and DEMONIC influenced or possessed people. Peace and Blessings everyone
How did she get to Tyler Perry hates Black women? The whole story is showing Black women in a sympathetic light. This particular movie shows Black men in a bad light. But he has also done movies showing women as evil and manipulative.
@@reenateekasingh9684 you see it as sympathetic, I see it as pathetic. I explained how I felt about Ava’s characterization. I also stated that he painted Dallas in a one-note bad light as well.
Or you can look at it from the perspective that he’s always portraying black women as helpless victims and black relationships in general as dysfunctional
I watched it today, and quite frankly I was glued to it. Perry movies usually turn me right off, but I did watch the Kelly Rowland movie, saw flaws but it was watchable to the end, and I watched this one today, and enjoyed it. Yeah there could be some clean ups here and there, but honestly it was far better than most movies that are bland and predictable. Apart from Megs character moving on with another man, I couldn't have predicted the rest! The beginning was a what the heck moment, and Corey man handling the mother like that lol.
SMH I thought there was gonna be a twist where Benji's ex-wife was behind the whole thing all along sending photos to Dallas' brothers when she maybe found out Benji was seeing Ava after he dropped the daughter off from the fair. So now I don't know who sent the photos at the fair in their hometown and the divorce party in Atlanta to the brothers.
So I've watched the movie and I now believe most of y'all just want to be negative for no obvious reason. The story line was relevant, the actors was amazing, and I truly believe it was shot well. I would actually watch it again. Tyler Perry put effort into this movie and tries his hardest to give quality to OUR people. I'm not saying that everything he does is perfect or that you can't dislike something he does but It really seems like y'all go in on EVERYTHING he does. It's like he has no support at all and that's sad.
If you think TP is a good screen-writer, I'd encourage you to watch any critically-acclaimed movie and see the contrast. You might think Tyler puts out good quality content - I do not. I am not one of those people who needs every movie to be cerebral and deep. I just think aiming for something above mediocre is the least someone could ask for. The bar is attainable. I don't think you can honestly say TP puts the effort into his works. There is a reason why most movies have one person doing the producing, another doing the writing and another doing the directing. That's because each one of those roles requires thoughtfulness, talent and great execution. And let's not act like Tyler's hurting for anything - he is a very very rich and powerful man. That's undeniable and I love that for him. I just wish he'd take all of those gifts and put out quality. And apparently he doesn't want my support because I'm what he considers a "highbrow negro" just because I understand storytelling! Conversely, he's calling his core audience lowbrow negroes. So take that how you will. Like I've told others, if you like his stuff, I love that for you. I think his movies are low-quality.
I think while anyone who puts out art can/should be criticized, you have to do it accurately. The first point that you make about Tyler Perry hating Black women, I disagree with. He's stereotypically presenting women as victims, but is centering women in most of his stories. If anything, he hates me. In most cases, when a dominant group of people "hates" a marginalized group, they don't paint them as "victims". His view of women is certainly limited, shallow, and reductive, but isn't based in "hate" in my opinion anyway. He would benefit from other writers, but most would make the argument that his hatred is more toward men than women - at least as depicted in his films. He's making movies with the attempt of positively affirming Black women who have been hurt by Black men.
I explained my critique of him pretty thoroughly (the video is over 30 mins long). If you think the word "hate" is too strong or inaccurate, maybe "disdain" of "strong contempt" might appease you. As I mentioned in the video, I think he has these deep-seated feelings of hate/disdain/strong contempt towards both black woman and men, in different ways. And we all have our different interpretations of things - I do not see anything in this film or Mea Culpa that positively affirms black women at the core. Yeah, the female characters in these movies had good jobs but that's where the positivity begins and ends.
This really happens in real life, he said it himself the way people think in this generation fuels his need to address it and put it out so ppl see it on a big screen
@@babidiamond08 I agree stories like these play out in real life all the time. My issue with TP is that he keeps regurgitating the same story. And if that’s what he wants to do in his career, the very least he could do is create characters with some degree of depth. The Dallas character was such a one-dimensional caricature. A better writer would have made him a richer character, even if he still turned out to be a monster.
I mean it wasn’t trash most women are like this but sometimes still stay with the man and men take the cake if they haven’t healed from childhood trauma so it highlights things that black women need to be stronger on and black men to heal and for them to be ready to heal and black women to know they can’t heal no man they have to heal for themselves first if not leave they asses behind and most still lost in the sauce so it’s a good way to point out that black people need to do better as parents, people and most of all us as individuals. I thought it was okay could of made Cory a bit more aggressive in his senses he just walked away so easily and most people that are like this they still go into the party or have to be escorted out the job. Or at least taken the pictures himself but hey I’m some black households they don’t want to see they own grow, heal and evolve, so they enable their unhealthy toxic behavior. Then I think in the beginning the pastor should have talk to the family after the service not judge her boys and the way she raised them in front of everyone like that cos most would have done the same except take the child out the casket but I get it they would say they paid for it.
Tyler Perry haters continue to watch his productions to find things to criticize. People used to do the exact same thing to President Obama, especially Black people. If you consistently find fault with the way TP does his art yet you still watch it, then the onus is on you. I don’t waste my time listening to rap music because it doesn’t speak to me. But I don’t constantly listen to it to have something to complain about.
@@ediorfitzgerald1478 first off, let’s not bring Obama into this lol I can speak singularly on TP. As I mentioned (if you even bothered to listen to what I had to say), this is only the second TP production I’ve ever watched. I’ve heard horror stories about all his other major movies though. And I don’t need to find fault in his works - they are very much in full view. You are free to talk about or not talk about anything you’d like. I can talk about Tyler Perry until I’m blue in the face if I want to. I hope that clarifies things.
Sick of the blaspheming TMH and using the exploitation of Yahs creation to justify black trauma. He needs to heal and stop projecting on his viewers. This movie made me very uncomfortable. A propaganda probe to separate more black union.
Didn't you say this was only the second TP work you have watched? How would you know how he views Black woman? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've actually seen multiple TP works.
I agree with you that this movie was so dumb and so unrealistic and the acting from everybody was terrible!!!!!!! It was awful. Corey, Megan, the best friend, the mama, the daddy, the family, the ghetto family. It was just a stupid and dumb movie. Worst acting I've seen from an entire cast
Tyler Perry can make a movie about wiping your ass, and people will still watch. I think this is Tyler Perry’s niche atp 😂 he knows his audience and is appeasing to that, he is not willing to change as it makes him money.
@@Authenticallysandy I think at this rate a lot of people are watching his films just to see how much of a train wreck it’s gonna be. And I agree - he has a winning formula, at least financially, why change his style. It’s just too bad that he refuses to elevate his art.
No matter what you say, TP 's coins have not stopped. When you can buy a whole army base, turn it into an entire movie studio, employ thousands of people, you can make your kind of movie. It's a movie homegul, i5s not to be taken as anything but. You're also not telling the story as it happened.
I have never once in my life thought I could change the mind of a man I’ve never met, much less a successful movie maker. If you think that was the intent behind my video, you are sorely mistaken. He’s successful in his movie making financially speaking. He is not in terms of quality. He has no critical acclaim. If you think the quality of his writing is high, then you have not been exposed to high quality. Also tell me where I got things fundamentally wrong. I’d love to hear it.
It is a movie about what black women go through in this world, what is black people problem that they have to critized and tear down each other, and by the way it's telling a story about the mental problem that men also have.
Firstly, it’s a critique, not criticism. Secondly, not all black women go through this. But even so, this has been the same premise for a bulk of his content, so he should consider other stories. Thirdly, it would have been wonderful if he actually delved into Dallas’ obvious mental issues. That’s what I’m referring to when I said the character is one-dimensional - they just mentioned he killed his father one time and never went back into it and how that affected him.
Tyler was given the keys to the Hollywood castle because he’s committed to portraying black people in a predominantly negative light. It’s sad that his ego prevents him from seeing this reality.
That part 💯 Toilet Paper is anti-Bw. I don't care what anybody says.
I disagree i think he portrays the good, the bad, and the ugly of the black community.... almost everything that happened in this movie happened to someone i know.
So true!!
Especially bw
I think he knows, he just doesn’t give a damn
When Dsllas was drunk.by the toilet and said his mother made him kill
his father ..Tyler Perry should've had a flash back scene when Dallas was a kid watching his dad abuse his mother ..& then showing how his mom made Dallas kill his father ..that would've gave the viewers a better understanding of Dallas's trauma & anger
This right here! At least a little backstory to show why this family the way they are.
@@MyDibbs25 Yes if Tyler hadve done a flash back scene when Dallas as a kid & showed the trauma he went through..the movie.wouldve been much better..because he had Dallas walking around as a angry black man with not enough back story as to WHY
Right?? Something to make us understand exactly how that man ticks.
It’s called writing. It’s only a movie.
It still doesn’t add up…. How does the protector become the abuser?
That funeral scene was for shock value. TP knew everyone would talk about this scene to get more ppl to watch this tomfoolery.
Yeah it's a really cheap ploy.
I fast forward that scene🤦🏾♀️😒
That scene was so unbearable to watch because I never saw anything like it before
If people are that simple minded to him he doesn't understand
and the dead body scene was gross too.
The black community needs to finally admit that our support of Tyler Perry has very little, if anything, to do with his actual talent. I’ve never enjoyed his content, from Madea plays on up. Terrible writing, one dimensional characters, scatter brain plots, continuity errors, stereotypical nonsense. I don’t trust this man with my time 😂
I didn't understand why Dallas family wanted him to get a divorce initially but then I figured they were jealous of him for trying to break the cycle.
Exactly
The opening funeral scene was weird to me. It was very unrealistic. Also the mean mother came off as cartoony at times.
I 100% agree! It was way too over the top. TP needs to learn how to pull back.
FYI But Tyler Perry used to have a writer's room for a few of his shows and movies starting in the beginning (House of Payne and The Family That Preys and the Why Did I Get Married). He fired these black writers because to quote him, " He does not pay people to critique him." Also, Tyler did not want to pay his writer's the SAG minimum. He also does not like to pay his actors the SAG minimum (unless they are more marquee actors like Tariji, Megan, Gabrielle, and Idris, etc.,). They have to sign a contract stating they are taking the job with the knowledge they will not be paid the required SAG minimum. I have said for years that Tyler Perry hates black women and continues to push the stereotypes placed on us to mainstream media.
By denying them SAG wages he also denies them ability to get health insurance through SAG union....which is pretty inexpensive compared to buying Individual health insurance thru Obamacare/ACA.
Tyler Perry is a whole capitalist with a WS view of Bw...he's cosplays as a Bm who cares about Bw and it's all an act to gain more wealth...for himself.
@@catmouse2882 SAY IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!
He also hates black men, they always make the husband an asshole like the all women are pure and victims and always better off financially
“The Family That Preys” and the “Why Did I Get Married” are some of his best and highest quality movies for a reason it seems.
@@jdbruce and [earlier] House of Payne actually had some decently funny episodes. Gotta love how capitalists like Tyler intentionally sabotage high-quality just to make more money
To answer your question: NO! Pastors NEVER imply that the deceased is probably burning in hell. No matter who the person is they tend to imply that this terrible person is in heaven because they accepted Christ when they were in kindergarten .
Which is so irritating
@@sidehustlevikki1066 and unnecessary. There’s no shame in saying “I don’t know” 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah that part was so ridiculous
My cousin was murdered in 2001 when he was 25. He was into some things that he shouldn’t have been, but he wasn’t a violent person. The pastor did allude to young black men needing to stop leading lives of crime, which my aunt, his mother felt was very uncalled for. At the time of his passing we didn’t even know the full extent of his other life so it wasn’t good. Aretha Franklin’s funeral comes to mind as well, the pastor that did that eulogy used that opportunity to disparage single black mothers. I’ve also seen other attendees of funerals say bad things about the deceased.
So yeah, sometimes ppl can go rogue and use their own agendas at those times.
@@_jordanslyricI understand if the pastor wants to urge young people to turn their lives around while they still have the chance, but it’s so mean to insult the deceased like that. The loved ones are the ones being hurt and they don’t deserve that. I don’t know what I would do in that situation 🤷🏽♀️.
I ALMOST watched this, this weekend, then I remembered how bad Mia Culpa was, checked the 2 1/2 stars on Amazon and said, NOPE! I'm not going to keep rewarding him with my views. I love that he gives blk actors and actresses roles and more money but blk viewers also deserve quality movies. At this point, it seems obvious TP does not care how bad his movies are, I'm sure he sees/hears the reviews. After all these years, surely he would improve. Hiring these actors/actresses that we WANT to root for is a trick and I'm not falling for it anymore.
I personally don't give a fig about these Blk actors and actresses willing to debase themselves in order to pay their rent. Tyler Perry seeks are Black actors and actress broke enough and desperate enough and pays them just enough to keep them coming back for more. He's not paying these people millions.
As a Bw, I wish Bw would STOP supporting his trash.
This movie is so terrible. I try to support black films, but Tyler Perry movies are so cliche. The acting in this is horrendous, and the storytelling is lacking any real substance.
I 100% cosign!
I loved Dallas. He need the rapture
@simoneb208 that's good you loved that character. I didn't.
@@josannemurer The substance that wss missing was what led to Dallas's trauma & anger issues
@spicyhot2552 it was more than that, TP should have developed each character more. It makes no sense that his wife is so devoted to her husband but sleeps with someone so quickly. The brothers' relationships, and yes, Dallas trauma. However, it was all so surface level bs. I couldn't emotionally connect with anyone in the film. It felt rushed and forced. When you watch a movie like Precious, you feel her level of trauma and how ruined her relationship with her mother is. But this show failed miserably. There was no real connection. I respect Tyler Perry for creating a means to build black actors and to pay them according to their talent, but his stories need more of a refinement. Spike Lee movies have dimensions, and he didn't always focus on the lowest essence of our community, even when he filmed a woman owning her sexual prowess. I remember watching Do the Right Thing and how angered I was that a black life was lost, yet most people were so desensitized to black loss that they felt more for the destruction of the Italian shop. I hope TP will be able to allow other writers and directors to make movies besides himself. There are so many who have stories and voices to uplift but do not have the opportunities afforded to them. I understand there are different black communities, and I would love to see more representation. One's that are also positive portrayal of our people. I notice a lot of the lighter skinned brothers always play a heroic role in his films. Our darker brothers need positive roles too.
Simply put. The movie was rushed!
My mother in law can’t stand me either but not to the Tyler Perry level 😂. It’s more subtle like forgetting to send me a Christmas card or shading my appearance or leaving me off a family member’s obituary, you know, stuff like that. Tyler need to call me for accurate mother in law/ daughter in law vice tips😅
LOL yeah I wish Tyler understood that he didn't have to amp things up to 100% all the time. Sprinkling a buildup of drama throughout it so much more effective.
@@iseemelanie he writes these wicked Mother in Law characters like a Disney princess villain character. It’s so cliche and overt. Ugh. 😑
@@CandieP Right! Especially Mea Culpa...I thought that MIL was bad, but this one takes the cake.
Exactly, this is the type of things they do . My husband gave his mom the money to get 4 family reunion shirts for him ,me, and the girls. Why did the 4th have her name and not mine 😅.
Apologies if I missed it, but has anyone explained how supposedly the divorce signing was at 11am but they immediately went to a party *at night* to celebrate the divorce?
I watched that part twice and still don't get it
And who was sending all the photos? They had to be in their hometown wherever that is and ATL at the divorce party. Oh yeah and who killed the animals? The brothers and Dallas never admitted to it, but Dallas admitted to shooting the father when it was the brothers.
@@moshe4787 uggggghhhh so many plotholes
TP isn't a good director. He always misses little details like that in his movies.
I feel like he hates black men most of his male characters are either abusive, jobless, abusive with a high paying job or suspect with muscles but that's another topic . At least the women has high paying jobs and successful.
The stereotypical bk wmn tropes in his movies are always evident… the mother in law represents the single bk mother stereotype and touches on her being detriment to her sons thus affecting the bk community… her behaviour was so exaggerated and obnoxious.. even her imagery… overweight, loud and dramatic… Megan goods character is the hard working bk wmn who dates down… Tyler Perry is consistent in making trash films and displaying negative connotations of bk wmn… so unfair that he continues to create films like this…
In the USA you can bury people on your private property. Many people have family graves in their backyards. It only works once you’ve obtained a legal documentation of death. (i.e Tell the government that they died so it doesn’t look like you murdered someone and are trying to hid it.)
Then, the body has to be properly prepared depending on what you want (embalm it, refrigerate it, or cremate it).
After that you can do whatever. (Normal funeral, throw the urns in the ocean, bury them in your backyard yourself,etc) 🤷🏾♀️
What the family did in the movie is an unusual way of going about it but completely legal
@@jdbruce thanks for this very informative comment. I had no idea. That’s so interesting. Tbh, I’m not sure what rules we have up here in Canada. Somehow, I think they are different from the US’s, as I’ve never heard about anything similar.
Tyler p. Is regurgitating the same movie (diary of a black woman), over and over . Every movie has to have a church scene , a pastor, a , a wedding, a fight , arguing .
I'm scratching my head now like what is Tyler doing . You have the biggest movie studio in the country and the writing hasn't got better . Hire people with better talent than you .
💯I agree. There is no growth with him. After all these years of being a powerhouse, you’d think he’d want to elevate his content … but I guess he doesn’t. It’s a real shame.
Tyler Perry has to rely on these actors who aren’t getting roles anywhere else. No top tier, in demand actor
will go near him. Unless he has some blackmail material, he’ll never get Denzel Washington. Now, there’s the Megan Goode, “he paid me my worth tour.” So, annoying.
Exactly 💯 Toilet Paper studios is where careers go to die. Everyone in the entertainment industry know that Toilet Paper is NOT to be taken seriously. Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johnnassen...all the A-LIST actors and actresses ain't f*** with him.
Only the D-list celebrities who got bills to pay are desperate enough to work with Toilet Paper. 😂😂😂
In my view, he persists in creating caricatures of Black individuals because it is lucrative, which in turn allows him to pay Black actors and actresses their value ("reparations").
@@catmouse2882Toilet Paper 🚽 🧻 Studios.....the COMIC SAVAGERY! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@catmouse2882Add Will Smith, Halle Berry, Jeffrey Wright, and Laurence Fishburne to that list.
Hands down, the worst movie of all time! This was straight comedy, my girlfriend and I never laughed so much in our lives during a movie.
The father in the grocery store at the end of the isle and 2 seconds later at the other end of same isle peaking through saying “snitch”. They broke all rules and remain sloppy and insensitive to the art of film. Embarrassing , not taking your craft serious is how the mighty fall.
@@LuriluxCommericals I agree! Actually, Tyler Perry has actually outdone himself in my opinion… Because I thought “temptation: confessions of a marriage counselor” was his worst film ever…..and I am WRONG….😂😂😂
Also poor editing...when Dallas and Benji were fighting, Benji was in a black boxers...when it was done and he went back upstairs, he was in a black pants
@@JF-ei9qk lol totally missed that. That’s hilarious! Oh Tyler smh
Tyler has an acquired taste audience….. it works for him.
I can’t get with it
Same!
Yesss I thought my family and I were the only ones to witness the misdirection with the divorce signing scene. This movie was poorly done on so many levels and lacked so much depth.
@@_ChildofGod_3 yeah it was just so bad. It seems as though TP doesn’t watch any good tv shows at all to get tips. I think he’d be a much better writer/director after watching a season of Succession or something of a similar calibre.
I said all your points soon as the film went off. We were word for word on exposition with the best friend in the car! Subscribed!
Aww thanks!!
Debbi Morgan's acting made the film worthwhile. The story reflects real issues: terrible parenting, strict religious upbringing, unresolved abuse, alcoholism, and toxic pride. Tyler Perry shows both good and bad dynamics in Black households, pushing boundaries for entertainment. I'm glad Black representation is expanding, though I'm not a fan of shows like The Oval. I wish the story developed better instead of relying on dialogue for backstory. Perry might be vague to develop characters in future films. Mother Bertran and her boys could be Ma Barker-type characters in a new film.
This story is a retold of the 1930s crime family Ma'Barker and her sons with black families' trauma twist to it.
Let’s not even talk about Tyler paying hardric 75 million for this movie. I feel like Tyler felt sorry for him after his divorce. The man needs more acting chops before he deserves such a huge amount of money for a low acting actor
I call cap on that number. $75 million dollars...for what exactly??? For him to "act" like an angry ninja 😂😂😂
@@catmouse2882 this is what was said about the whole situation.
75 million???? For that?????? Oh nooooo oh no no no
That's 4x the movies budget
If I am not mistaken it's 💲75 million for 5 movies from what I heard.
It’s seriously the worst movie I’ve watched all year!!!! Tyler Perry seriously needs to employ some writers to get fresh, less contrived, more realistic and less cliched storylines!
I liked temptation because it was so laughably bad lol and I just scrolled and it’s on right now lol smh this man gets his money day and night.
"Do you want to lose your job, b🤬?" 🤣
The scene where Ava signed the divorce papers was weird. They way Dallas, Rona, and Rona's husband were looking all shifty, I thought they were in cahoots to steal Ava's house or something. If you had seen more TP productions, you would know he also has a thing about black women losing their homes. 😂
Typical TP shenanigans. Good background noise while doing other things. 👍🏾
Tyler could have have Reesa Tisa a writing credit for a more cohesive story. This movie was all over the place.
I also thought that the whole animal scene was weird. Like what was the purpose behind that?
That scene AND her signing the divorce papers. Didn't really add anything to the story
@@feliciabanks9033 just be glad that we didn’t have to watch Kim Kardashian pretend to be an actress in this film like “temptation” 😂😂😂
@@Justice-ef9sk 😩 I can't even imagine
I get the dramatic acting stems from his plays, but I still think that's no excuse for using the worst stereotypes to portray black people and the prominent plot holes in his stories. I get black people don't have to support his work, but I think black people who are in Tyler Perry's position need to be more responsible with their platforms. At this point, I think Tyler Perry is lazy because he has the resources to make more compelling films if he wants to.
Tyler shoots his projects too fast. Preproduction and postproduction is usually between one to three weeks. Production is between one to three weeks. This man is filming whole movies in three weeks. He Films a whole television season in two weeks give or take.
It’s such a joke! I don’t know why he thinks he can produce quality that quickly when everyone else in the industry takes so much more time … but on second thought, I don’t think quality is a factor to him.
I need you to watch Temptation by tp… he is terrible at what has made him so much $ which proves money doesn’t equate to anything of character.
I watched temptation a week ago. Awful just awful
I googled the movie and sounds pretty terrible lol. I really wish all my failures were as successful as Tyler's!
The writing was not up to par. To cliche ish. The script was not fully created. Def needed a rewrite or two.
@@SeanShaw72VOICESSTUDIO 💯
The father in the feed store is suppose to be a farmer and pastor but hes in the feed store spying on his daughter's conversation. Where's is the integrity in the writing . At any moment the characters morph into characteristics that are not true to the character.
In Georgia you have a 6 month cool off period before getting a divorce. This timeline doesnt even make sense.
My mom HATES Tyler Perry. She's been saying from way back that his movies are trash 😂😂😂😂
The writing in this film is horrible. Tyler Perry needs to hire some serious writers who know how to write multi-faceted characters. Nearly, all the characters in this movie were one-dimensional especially Dallas, played by Corey. He was such a hard character to like from beginning to end, he never softened or had a moment of reflection, even when talking about how he was made to kill someone. Makes you wonder what a smart, sensitive young woman saw in him in the first place?! Tyler really should hire women writers to right for his female characters b/c he does have a problem with women.
Yeah I was trying to figure out what Megan saw in him and then to find out they had been together since she was 17 and now almost 40 and Corey's character was just so angry 😅like why???? I think it's TP internal hatred for women that comes out in these movies. He needs to deal with his own trauma. Being that his audience doesn't even have high expectations for him most of us with sense could at least give the characters a little bit of depth. And still manage not to go over budget 😅but that's the soft bigotry of low expectations for ya
AGREED! But, Tyler's EGO won't allow this. I'm AMAZED Sistas is still a thing. I checked out after the second episode years ago. 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you , yes TP hates black woman... temptation... acrimony...
People just want to be entertained. I grew up with ppl like this. Chasing after nothings n dirt bags. Watching those nothings n dirt bags be jealous bcuz the other person came from a good loving home. Mad at the world, lazy drunks dope heads, baby daddy all over the place. It's a movie that is happening in real life. But ppl just want to be entertained.
I’m here thinking she was gonna fix him. Not kill him. Trash movie.
I think he needed to fix himself ... well, if he'd lived. He had a lot of deep-seated issues that would require professional intervention.
Fixing a toxic rls? Where we start doing that at?
😂😂😂😂😂
You can't fix people....They have to get help from God and oftentimes a freaking therapist😔
Movie was awful. Tyler Perry has horrible writing and directing. It's like he's mocking Black people and I'm tired of it
100%
Divorce in the black (Part 2) is probably coming and it would explain why the mother is mad at Corey wife.
Corey looking for control instead of him finding his own peace. It’s called “Control” and has nothing to do with black women.
That’s trauma because Corey was force to do something to his father. Corey said his own mom made him do something.
Corey mom ruled over 4 grown men. Trauma could have come from his mother.
I think Tyler Perry mirrors the Nigerian movies I remember back in the day when I used to get my hair braided a Nigerian she used to watch these crazy African movies that did not make any sense just over the top but then at the same time you can't help but watch because they're just so ridiculous and can be very addicting at the same time so maybe he is thinking that will work in America😅 either way who cares he's making money😂 if he gets complaints about the movie he will not care he's a damn billionaire
My sister used to watch a lot of Nigerian movies while getting her hair done too. I'm happy that Tyler's so financially and commercially successful - I just wish he'd aim for some critical success too.
😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!!
@@iseemelanie you know he's not going to even think about the critical success he even said it LOL being that he hires the top black actors and actresses for his horrible movies and also that he's rolling in the dough and providing jobs for blacks this is his pass for everything which is really typical businessman thinking so it is what it is unfortunately🤷♀️
@@iseemelanieI hate to say it, because I love my Nigerian braider and I have roots in Nigeria. But, geez some of these Nigerian movies are very Tubi-esque. My braider loves them. I can't tell her NOTHING! 😭
Divorce in the wack🤦🏿🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
T. Perry's films do show black relationships in a negative way.
And he is a blackmale feminist.
However, the real problem is those people who bankroll the negative movies he FEEDS to them. And they also it up.
If the people weren't attracted to or desired negativity, his movies would have no traction.
Cool video , My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love him so much I can’t stop thinking about him, I’ve tried my very best to get him back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of him, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss him and just can’t stop thinking about him
Have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about two years ago, but I could not let him go, so I had to do all I could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring him back, now we are back together, and I must say I am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do I reach one.?
His name is Owen Abiola, and he is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex...
Thank you for this valuable information, I just looked him up online. impressive.
Nothing about this movie makes any sense at all! 🤦🏽♀️
I think your analysis is spot on. It was odd, to me, that TP chose not to develop the family trauma Dallas suffered. Plus, the characters were so unlikeable: Ava - weak, MIL - diabolical, Dallas - violent and ABM, Best friend - Stereotypical BW trope, Brothers - town menaces, Ava's parents - loving, yet overly judgmental/preachy. Overall, it didn't come across as authentic.
Yes! That’s one thing I meant to get into more - her parents were supportive ultimately, but at points they were basically calling her a dumbass lol. It was so weird!
Their relationship made no sense. How did they even end up together???
@@bfnfamily yeah they’ve always seemed completely different.
👍👍😂😂 @@iseemelanie
I didn’t see divorce in black. I believe TP has these images of our people because of his troubled childhood.
I agree 💯
This movie was a hard watch. No replay value. The best thing about it was the lighting and film quality. Everything else sucked.
TP should be Toilet Paper Productions 😅😏.
This movie was comedically terrible
Sounds like you're describing diary of a black woman. With just a few adjustments.
Tyler Perry's films are becoming increasingly formulaic, almost as if he's relying on templates and Chat GPT to churn them out. This latest one is by far his worst: predictability at its finest, riddled with tired, overplayed stereotypes about black men being no good. It's painfully clear that Perry is surrounded by a bunch of yes men who won't challenge him. The script was atrocious.
The characters lacked depth, making it difficult to engage with the story as some scenes were overly extended. The narrative leaned more towards comedy than substance. While comedic relief is understandable, it seemed more like a time filler here. Staying engaged was a struggle. I managed to finish it today, though.
This movie gave trash a compliment. We should just start calling Tyler Perry movies aka by the numbers. TYLER PERRY MOVIE NUMBER 84 or something.
@@derrickctv1820 I love that!!
Wake Up! Women trying to have ever lasting relationships with traumatized young boys and calling it marriage
(In My Opinion) Tyler Perry is Dramatic because he is actually an Amazing Storyteller and a Play Writer!
(He Started There!)
Unfortunately, yes Even After All These Years He Still Makes Movies and TV Series Like; (He Is Still Writing His Plays!)
I'm Glad He Pushed Through The Years and Helped Make a Way People.
I Love His Storytelling!❤
Just Doesn't Quite Hit The Mark 🎯 on Films!
I Really Think He Should Think about Diving in and Being an Author! 📚 📖 💯
The Movie 🎥 in its Entirety for me was a 3/5 for Me!💯
Great Review💯💜
ok i just started and Im like what funeral goes like this... Dont know if i can continue🙄
The movie is so damn ghetto..I guess it's not "for me"
I don't understand why some people make videos about movies or tv series that they didn't like or enjoyed. It doesn't make any sense none whatsoever.
@@jasminec.7650 ever heard of something called a critique? Also have you ever heard about something called social media?
Even though everything you said is true, I don’t agree that it’s because Tyler hates black women, I think he just wrote a story of real life issues, and that’s the fact that a lot of good successful women stay in abusive marriages/relationships due to many many reasons, like thinking they can change him, or thinking because they put in years of their lives they would be loosing something, like when she mentioned she would be turning 40 soon almost like turning 40 is a death sentence and no one would truly want her or like pressure from family and friends to stay so it does not look like they failed, which is why her dad told her she had nothing to prove to him, in conclusion, this movie brought light to real life issues, at the end, she left, and to me that’s a win, no one should stay in an abusive marriage, ever!
To everything, there is a season. Every content creator has their peaks and valleys in the field creativity. Tyler is like a restaurant and a chef who receives accolades during the grand opening however over some time the chef will be replaced. There were key essential staff that is no longer there.
For me it has deep cussing n it. I didn't know that he did that. I dont do movies with heavy cussing. So that already a no 4 me. Just like that bad boys movie. Not sure y TP is doing movies with cussing n it now.
Debbie Morgan was Angie on All My Children.
@@beverlyrhett3515 yeah I’ve read that. I never really watched AMC - my grandparents used to but I just never got into it. I’ve been a Y&R girl since I was 5. When Debbi was cast over a decade , I read that she came from AMC.
I enjoyed the film. It was great to see the actors that were chosen ad the main cast!! 🙏💝
I enjoyed the movie. You know the saying: you can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Same. The acting / script wasn’t great but it was bearable
@@ansbach74 I liked it because I’m a fan of Lifetime Original Movies and this reminded me of one of those. It ran a little too long though. I shut it off after he attacked the mom at the grocery store.
Yall just like low quality movies like Tubi & lifetime drama movies something all ways bad happen to a female type movies 🤢🤮
I liked the movie too. Good job Tyler Perry.
My family enjoyed it also....I guess I really can relate and appreciate Tyler Perry's movies like these, because I have experienced similar things in a toxic abusive marriage, narcissistic relationships and just dealing with REAL CRAZY and DEMONIC influenced or possessed people. Peace and Blessings everyone
I remember Debbie Morgan playing in all my children I didn’t know about young and the restless and they used to edit tapes all the time
Yeah she was on it about ten years ago for a brief while. She played Devon's mom.
Tyler, listen to the lady, stop writing moves! You're not Spike Lee! You never will be. Stop with the bafoonary!
Spike Lee havent wrote or directed a good movie in 20 years.
How did she get to Tyler Perry hates Black women? The whole story is showing Black women in a sympathetic light. This particular movie shows Black men in a bad light. But he has also done movies showing women as evil and manipulative.
@@reenateekasingh9684 you see it as sympathetic, I see it as pathetic. I explained how I felt about Ava’s characterization. I also stated that he painted Dallas in a one-note bad light as well.
Or you can look at it from the perspective that he’s always portraying black women as helpless victims and black relationships in general as dysfunctional
I watched it today, and quite frankly I was glued to it. Perry movies usually turn me right off, but I did watch the Kelly Rowland movie, saw flaws but it was watchable to the end, and I watched this one today, and enjoyed it. Yeah there could be some clean ups here and there, but honestly it was far better than most movies that are bland and predictable. Apart from Megs character moving on with another man, I couldn't have predicted the rest! The beginning was a what the heck moment, and Corey man handling the mother like that lol.
SMH I thought there was gonna be a twist where Benji's ex-wife was behind the whole thing all along sending photos to Dallas' brothers when she maybe found out Benji was seeing Ava after he dropped the daughter off from the fair. So now I don't know who sent the photos at the fair in their hometown and the divorce party in Atlanta to the brothers.
Yeah the photos part was so weird.
I agree with everything you said in this review.
So I've watched the movie and I now believe most of y'all just want to be negative for no obvious reason. The story line was relevant, the actors was amazing, and I truly believe it was shot well. I would actually watch it again. Tyler Perry put effort into this movie and tries his hardest to give quality to OUR people. I'm not saying that everything he does is perfect or that you can't dislike something he does but It really seems like y'all go in on EVERYTHING he does. It's like he has no support at all and that's sad.
If you think TP is a good screen-writer, I'd encourage you to watch any critically-acclaimed movie and see the contrast. You might think Tyler puts out good quality content - I do not. I am not one of those people who needs every movie to be cerebral and deep. I just think aiming for something above mediocre is the least someone could ask for. The bar is attainable.
I don't think you can honestly say TP puts the effort into his works. There is a reason why most movies have one person doing the producing, another doing the writing and another doing the directing. That's because each one of those roles requires thoughtfulness, talent and great execution.
And let's not act like Tyler's hurting for anything - he is a very very rich and powerful man. That's undeniable and I love that for him. I just wish he'd take all of those gifts and put out quality. And apparently he doesn't want my support because I'm what he considers a "highbrow negro" just because I understand storytelling! Conversely, he's calling his core audience lowbrow negroes. So take that how you will. Like I've told others, if you like his stuff, I love that for you. I think his movies are low-quality.
It look like a trailer home or something. It is people like Dallas and Ava in real life
Amen
I think while anyone who puts out art can/should be criticized, you have to do it accurately. The first point that you make about Tyler Perry hating Black women, I disagree with. He's stereotypically presenting women as victims, but is centering women in most of his stories. If anything, he hates me. In most cases, when a dominant group of people "hates" a marginalized group, they don't paint them as "victims". His view of women is certainly limited, shallow, and reductive, but isn't based in "hate" in my opinion anyway. He would benefit from other writers, but most would make the argument that his hatred is more toward men than women - at least as depicted in his films. He's making movies with the attempt of positively affirming Black women who have been hurt by Black men.
I explained my critique of him pretty thoroughly (the video is over 30 mins long). If you think the word "hate" is too strong or inaccurate, maybe "disdain" of "strong contempt" might appease you. As I mentioned in the video, I think he has these deep-seated feelings of hate/disdain/strong contempt towards both black woman and men, in different ways. And we all have our different interpretations of things - I do not see anything in this film or Mea Culpa that positively affirms black women at the core. Yeah, the female characters in these movies had good jobs but that's where the positivity begins and ends.
You can just reupload this review for every Tyler Perry film ever made. I think he hates black men even more.
@@eliek2014 pretty much!
Great acting from the pastor and pastors wife. Dallas. Meghan did okay but there were a lot of cringe moments on her end.
This really happens in real life, he said it himself the way people think in this generation fuels his need to address it and put it out so ppl see it on a big screen
@@babidiamond08 I agree stories like these play out in real life all the time. My issue with TP is that he keeps regurgitating the same story. And if that’s what he wants to do in his career, the very least he could do is create characters with some degree of depth. The Dallas character was such a one-dimensional caricature. A better writer would have made him a richer character, even if he still turned out to be a monster.
Your review was everything! I agreed with you entirely.
@@BMonetthedirector aww thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
I mean it wasn’t trash most women are like this but sometimes still stay with the man and men take the cake if they haven’t healed from childhood trauma so it highlights things that black women need to be stronger on and black men to heal and for them to be ready to heal and black women to know they can’t heal no man they have to heal for themselves first if not leave they asses behind and most still lost in the sauce so it’s a good way to point out that black people need to do better as parents, people and most of all us as individuals. I thought it was okay could of made Cory a bit more aggressive in his senses he just walked away so easily and most people that are like this they still go into the party or have to be escorted out the job. Or at least taken the pictures himself but hey I’m some black households they don’t want to see they own grow, heal and evolve, so they enable their unhealthy toxic behavior. Then I think in the beginning the pastor should have talk to the family after the service not judge her boys and the way she raised them in front of everyone like that cos most would have done the same except take the child out the casket but I get it they would say they paid for it.
Tyler Perry haters continue to watch his productions to find things to criticize. People used to do the exact same thing to President Obama, especially Black people. If you consistently find fault with the way TP does his art yet you still watch it, then the onus is on you. I don’t waste my time listening to rap music because it doesn’t speak to me. But I don’t constantly listen to it to have something to complain about.
@@ediorfitzgerald1478 first off, let’s not bring Obama into this lol I can speak singularly on TP. As I mentioned (if you even bothered to listen to what I had to say), this is only the second TP production I’ve ever watched. I’ve heard horror stories about all his other major movies though. And I don’t need to find fault in his works - they are very much in full view. You are free to talk about or not talk about anything you’d like. I can talk about Tyler Perry until I’m blue in the face if I want to.
I hope that clarifies things.
Sick of the blaspheming TMH and using the exploitation of Yahs creation to justify black trauma. He needs to heal and stop projecting on his viewers. This movie made me very uncomfortable. A propaganda probe to separate more black union.
Didn't you say this was only the second TP work you have watched? How would you know how he views Black woman? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've actually seen multiple TP works.
@@1Rhettsgirl13 I also said that I’ve read reviews and synopses of his other works.
I agree with you that this movie was so dumb and so unrealistic and the acting from everybody was terrible!!!!!!! It was awful. Corey, Megan, the best friend, the mama, the daddy, the family, the ghetto family. It was just a stupid and dumb movie. Worst acting I've seen from an entire cast
Oh wow, you disliked it more than me! LOL yeah it's a real shame that these actors weren't given material to really sink their teeth into.
Idk if he hates bw but his portrayal of bm is much worse.
I think they are both really terrible, in different ways.
The movie was good to me I’ll watch it again and again
If you like it, I love it for you. I just know there are better storytellers out there. TP could be one if he wanted to.
Tyler Perry can make a movie about wiping your ass, and people will still watch. I think this is Tyler Perry’s niche atp 😂 he knows his audience and is appeasing to that, he is not willing to change as it makes him money.
@@Authenticallysandy I think at this rate a lot of people are watching his films just to see how much of a train wreck it’s gonna be. And I agree - he has a winning formula, at least financially, why change his style. It’s just too bad that he refuses to elevate his art.
I agree... I thought this sucked! Girls stop with the wigs!~
No matter what you say, TP 's coins have not stopped. When you can buy a whole army base, turn it into an entire movie studio, employ thousands of people, you can make your kind of movie. It's a movie homegul, i5s not to be taken as anything but. You're also not telling the story as it happened.
I have never once in my life thought I could change the mind of a man I’ve never met, much less a successful movie maker. If you think that was the intent behind my video, you are sorely mistaken. He’s successful in his movie making financially speaking. He is not in terms of quality. He has no critical acclaim. If you think the quality of his writing is high, then you have not been exposed to high quality.
Also tell me where I got things fundamentally wrong. I’d love to hear it.
I believe the funeral casket scene was just a representation of the mothers strong, blind pridefulness.
I completely agree. It was very OTT though!
@@iseemelanie definitely lol
Definitely agree.i am amazed at the people who think that the mother’s behavior at the funeral is a sign of love. Mommy was hateful.
And it made the brothers look like mama's boy simps for carrying their dead brother out of the church instead of dragging her out.
Movie or not,..a lot of black ain't sh!t...a black man knows what tyler is sayin..
Time for a TP spoof movie😂
They tried it with Taylor Pherry-Not Another Church Movie. The movie bombed badly. 😕
This movie was sooooo racist!!!!
finally a good take about Tyler Perry ☺good job on the video
Thanks!!
On target
The movie was perfect ❤❤❤❤
Love the movie! ❤😊
I love that for you!
We loved it too! Maybe we watched a different movie than everyone else 🤔🤣😅😂😁
It is a movie about what black women go through in this world, what is black people problem that they have to critized and tear down each other, and by the way it's telling a story about the mental problem that men also have.
Firstly, it’s a critique, not criticism. Secondly, not all black women go through this. But even so, this has been the same premise for a bulk of his content, so he should consider other stories. Thirdly, it would have been wonderful if he actually delved into Dallas’ obvious mental issues. That’s what I’m referring to when I said the character is one-dimensional - they just mentioned he killed his father one time and never went back into it and how that affected him.
