I feel you on this...I'm waiting for DOUBLE TOASTED. Listen, TP (obviousely) doesn't give a "F" waht we or the critics say. The man has his fan base and is laughing all the way to the bank, dude got more money that Beyonce...it is what it is, am I a fan, I admit I have a guilty pleasure for his Madea movies...his other movies seem to mean spirited for me, poorly edited, poor make up, poor screenwriting, badly directed and the man does not do his research before making a movie. But...BUT, I do admire his employment all African American actors and I am guessing behind the camera as well, he seems to be a solid business man. I just watched an interview with Megan Good and she stated TP let her quote her own paycheck...she was in tears when she saw it, that woman has been in the business over 30yrs and got the biggest check she has ever seen, it brought her to tears...I commend Mr. Perry for that.
That funeral scene was 100% for people to talk only! That was the most ridiculous crap, especially I'm the face of the important topics in the film. Smh
He knows people will hate watch his movies. I haven't watched his movies in years but I love watching people review them because I love how people are always surprised by how awful they are. Lol That's the true entertainment for me LMAO
The first 10 minutes were pure comedy! 😂😂😂😂Tyler needs to humble himself and get some writers. Meagan, Cory, and the cast did the best with the script they were given.
@@JB0523 Yes! Somebody finally gets it. He is stuck somewhere in his childhood, and it is with his mother being abused verbally and/or physically by the man. Go back to every movie he has made, and you will see that is the common thread. It is time for him to grow up. You can have sense in one area of life and become a billionaire and still have no sense in life concerning the lack of quality of work you put out. It's time for him to grow up in all areas of life.
@@kimdarby1359 Then that means he is not growing if you could pick that up so quickly. Diary was a long time ago. Unless a film is part two, it should have some difference. I'm glad you posted this comment. It has me thinking. Have a great one.
I respect how Tyler Perry treats our black actors. But this dude needs to invest in young talented writers as much as he’s willing to invest in black actors.
Tyler Perry has been in this business for decades now. How much more time does he need?@@antonymwangi4986 And stop idealising "other communities" because they absolutely will talk about it when a movie or director sucks .
I like that Tyler Perry gives opportunities to actors and pays them as they should be paid. However, as long as he's been directing movies, he should be better at it.
I don’t think TP’s movies come out the way they do for lack of talent or ability to progress, but rather because he knows he’s gunna churn out some sort of profit regardless of effort. I don’t think his movies cost that much for him to make; it’s very similar to Blumhouse movies (made extremely cheap and fast, and still make a profit despite being terrible)
I got family in the south been there all they life and they never mentioned anyone doing that at a funeral .... fighting in the church sure but taking a body out the casket hell nah !!!!!!!!
I just finished it 10 mins ago, and when I tell you I laughed throughout this movie! It wasn't supposed to be funny, but it was so bad that it was funny to me! He went to the bank and said " WHAT YOU LOOKING AT?! I'LL SLAP YO DAMN NOSE OFF!" 😂😂😂
I thought Corey played his roll very well. He did make it seem like he could be like that. I loved the movie.. ppl just always like to hate. Evidently he is successful and many ppl are getting paid.....
Can we also say how gorgeous Meagan good is still and how she hasn't aged at all. I can't believe she is actually 42 she still looks in her 20s to me. Tbh. Black don't crack . The woman that played her mom Debbie morgan still looks good too.
How can you not like A Fall from Grace?? That movie was pure comedy 😂😂. And no one could guess the end. Not saying it's a great movie, but it was enjoyable lol....
Of course You don't. He is the only one employing black actors, producers and engineers but we would rather tear down our own and go beg opportunities from the white community that supports their own even when they suck. That's who were are
I actually liked Corey portraying Dallas. He definitely gave me real life villain husband similar to Blair in Madea’s Family Reunion. However, I haven’t watched him in anything, that I can recall, to compare.

@@nicolejohnson4989 Sorry my bad. Let me clarify. Whoopi said that script was coming together. That leads me to believe Tyler ISN’T the writer. Even though Whoopi rocks with Tyler she knows his method of filmmaking isn’t a good fit for a Sister Act movie. She already told Keke Palmer and Sheryl Lee Ralph she’s trying to figure a way to get them in the film.
As a screenwriter writer filmmaker myself..I thought this movie was not good at all..there's no unique story line..no emotional connection...like diary of mad black woman..or.acrimony..I felt those.women pain...was connected to there story and growth...this movie makes no sense...nor do the character actions..Dallas is just a mad abusive man for no reason..Meagan good is the perfect saint..no different than any other Tyler film...ironically Cory hardict is the only semi decent actor in the film...he played his role
@@actorselftaping6484that’s real you don’t know your history it’s called passing light skin it mixed black people some use to blend in to live a easier life but it’s really harder trying to hide
Of course You don't. He is the only one employing black actors, producers and engineers but we would rather tear down our own and go beg opportunities from the white community that supports their own even when they suck. That's who we are
I'm not a Tyler fan but this was one of his best movies. Corey and Meagan did an awesome job. In the first scene when his mom yells at him you felt his fear. Tyler learn how to direct your background actors and stop being cheesy with your sets. I was highly entertained. Good movie. I give it a 6 out of ten. Hire writers and set directors, please!!! Invest in the next John Singleton or Spike Lee.
I actually enjoyed this one. I just watched it earlier with my grandmother we both were into it. I will never shit on Tyler because of the job security he always gives to the ones who stayed down with him from the start and even ones he works with later. I love this for my people.
The job security Tyler (the person) offers black actors is a good thing, but the art that Tyler (the artist) is having the black actors produce is bad. I think it's okay to separate the art from the person and call the art shit when it is. Criticising the art shouldn't be seen as an indictment on the person. Tyler's situation is bittersweet because it's like a man who does the good deed of feeding homeless people. However, the catch being, most of the food he feeds the homeless is rotten... It's a moral conundrum because rotten food in the short term is better than no food at all. However, the same rotten food has the downside of making those hungry people sick in the long run. It's a lesser of 2 evils scenario. So, Yes, Tyler may indeed be providing job security (food on actors' plates), but in the longrun the quality of the work will never showcase his actors' acting chops/talent in the best light (potentially making it hard for them to be taken seriously). Just as the rotten food robs the homeless' health, bad acting gigs/bad movies rob an actor of being considered for future good roles (it kills their career in the long run as they will be type-cast as bad film actors). That's why we should call out the bad art; to put pressure on Tyler to improve the quality of his work. It's not only for the sake/health of his actors' futures, but it's for himself too. *Spare the rod, spoil the child.*
Divorce in the Black was Boring and terrible I worked on that Movie last yr.Two weeks he filmed 🎥 that Movie. That Church Ranch and Trailer was down in Savannah
I just griped about this. I live in Atlanta, and I could tell it was filmed in Savannah. That was a bad decision... Because I could clearly see that, and I know that it takes several hours to get from Atlanta to Savannah. Not 1 1/2 hours. This should have been filmed in Athens. I'm going to stop supporting Tyler. He didn't even try.
I watched your review and then watched the movie. The movie was horrible, perhaps because it is so ridiculous from beginning to end. I think I laughed once and smirked twice. I knew exactly what would happen. A total waste of time. However, I do appreciate your review. So far, your review has been the most enjoyable part of my day.
Oh no! I hope Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict who are ATTRACTIVE and TALENTED will get far better roles. Oh the irony! Good's character in Think Like A Man threw shade at Tyler Perry movies. 😎
The way she signed the divorce papers without reading them, based on a verbal conversation they previously had. Plus with Dallas finding out she was seen with Benji before the meeting with the lawyers, might have led us to believe he had altered the paperwork since the verbal agreement. But then nothing came of it, so what was the point of the sequence of events? Strangely written.
OH MY GOODNESS… I thought the same thing. I was like when she told him get out her house maybe in the contract he was getting the house but nope nothing entertaining came from that or that damn letter
@@victoriarice9595 yeah I get that she just wanted it to be over, but I just thought that with timing of things, and also taking into account the title of the movie, I thought he would try to attack her financially... I'm still trying to find the message in the movie LOL! Weird one TP
The woman said, 2 or 3 times, in that scene, that she'd read over the divorce papers. So, where did u get that she signed them, without reading them?!!!
@@sugalovely1238 if she read them via email or whatever prior to the meeting, would she not want to read them again (with counsel) at the actual meeting to make sure nothing was changed? My point is that the audience was misled into thinking that Dallas could have modified the papers due to the sequence of events, eg. being spotted with Benji at the Fair. I know that she was in a hurry to move on, but she could have ended up with a "Divorce in the Red", financially and emotionally.
The first 10 minutes of the movie I yelled "Here we go again!" I really thought the whole movie was going to be on that level but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It had some flaws in typical Tyler Perry fashion but it was not as bad as his previous 3, Mea Culpa, A Fall from Grace and Acrimony. Those were his worse 3 and it looked like that was the path he was going to continue to go down. This movie was a smidgen better so hopefully his movies will get better. Maybe he produced this on in 3 weeks instead of a week to 10 days.
The church scene at the beginning of this hot mess came straight out of a Monty Python skit. I have never laughed so hard at a scene that was supposed to be dramatic in my life. What’s funnier as that TP wrote it down and thought it was good.
The sex scene did feel forced to me because just a couple of scenes before the same person who initiated said no for good reasons. He came on too strong to me in the scene that led up to the sex scene.
Tyler Perry knows he is wrong I watching the funeral scene now😂 If this man don't hire some writers and stop this foolishness, they need to revoke his black card.
Black people it’s always a negative undertone. Different demographics of people have different views on life, he always has a typical southern stereotype of BP not living up to social norms.
Friend, i KNOW you know who Richard Lawson is lol, he was the dude trying to get with Stella on how Stella got her groove back. Also his daughter is Bianca Lawson!
TP’s movies are awfully Predictable. The best I’ve seen from TP is the Jazzman’s Blues. He needs a new writer PERIOD. Cory Hardict did a great job as well as Meghan Good on the movie otherwise, it would be a flop in my opinion
I agree, Tyler Perry needs to hire a team of writers! I found the crazy husband one dimensional! I agree, why would she stay? Did he have any redeeming qualities? It was better than most of his other films but that’s not a very high bar!
Tyler doesn’t know how to write nuanced characters. They’re either evil incarnate or angels. There’s rarely a middle ground. Women in DV relationships get love bombed after their abuse, so they’ll stay. Where was that here?
Kerry Washington has a movie with Perry. Tyler Perry has a movie about Black History Black women in the military during WW2 Lets hope and 🙏, he doesn't screw this up. We don't have that many movies about Blacks in the military during WW2. Knowing him, he will have struggling black woman who is being abused by a black man. And she joins the military to escape his abuse.
You know what.. it was better than Mea Culpa....that was a hot mess 🤣. I really loved the grocery store scene. I think that scene was meant to be some comedic relief when he yelled at the clerk. I think Meagan was solid throughout. I didn't agree with some of Cory's acting choices (especially the crying scenes) but overall I think he did a great job. It's giving very much a TP production but it was entertaining.
I just heard of this movie when I saw your thumbnail. I'm gonna go watch it first, so I'm not biased, then come back and see what you said. ***I just finished it and your video. I see what you're saying about his acting, but when I tell you he made me flashback to a situation in my life w/someone who was that type of angry... I had no point of reference to know he'd be that type of person bc I'd never met anyone like that before, and hadn't seen the women in my family dealing with that type of man. I got away from the situation, but he was an off kilter angry like Hardwick played. It was realistic to me, but her reaction to it was way different from mine, bc I wasn't trying to fight to stay w/him. I was trying to get away safely.
Brandon is going to tear this up. 🤣 All of these back to back movies with lack of a plot and/or logic. TP should take a sabbatical and be about QUALITY and not QUANTITY! 🙄
Richard Lawson Career started in the 1970s he was in the movie with pam grier in the second Blacula movie scream blacula scream (1973) in the blaxploitation days his daughter is bianca Lawson who also played Pam Grier and snoop dogg's daughter in Bones (2001)
I remember him as the chief of police in Streets of Fire (1984). It starred William Defoe as the leader of a biker gang that kidnapped a rock star played by Diane Lane and Stoney Jackson & Robert Townsend were members of an R&B group that opened for her.
I loved Bones and didn’t realize Richard Lawson was also in How Stella Got Her Groove Back and For Colored Girls. I see how Tina Knowles had to circle back around to him for a while. He is still quite handsome.
I realize it's not the actors that are bad actors, it's Tyler perry's directing. I've seen how Karen from sisters act in 'if beale street could talk' and the acting was night and day. I used to watch the queens men and I could clearly tell when Tyler began to take a hands on approach and that's when I stopped watching it.
The first part of the movie was absolutely hilarious! I would have never dreamed that would have happened bravo for that scene. I thought that Cory Hardrict was the stand out in the movie, he was very believable. I thought it was going to be worse but it actually was better than I expected. It wasn’t horrible which I was expecting so I gave it a 5.5 overall The overall problem is story and character development
Tyler has to do better and get some writers to help out on his work, or he won't have any decent quality actors that won't waste their talent in his productions.
hey, Brandon! I'd not heard of this film before now and it sounds like, even though I'm laid up with a swollen knee, and in the perfect position to watch a bad B (or C) movie, I'm still cautious. It means that if the first half is as bad as you say, I can't just jump up and go in the kitchen for another cookie, peanut butter bread or fruit snack. Because of my injured knee, I'd just have to lay there and bare it waiting for this not-as-bad second half. Also, you said that you'd never seen Richard Lawson before; I bet you have, though. He was in 'Poltergeist'. He showed up with the lil' short lady that cleaned out the house.
The whole thing fell flat for me. The acting in the first half made it hard stay invested to the end. And to your point, the development of the characters was lacking. Maybe if there was more of backstory in the beginning, that could have helped.
I was so pumped to see Cory Hardict. But who wants an erotic church movie!? I’m glad they got paid but I wish this could have moved through a little better. A family that prays is his best work!!
This movie was bad. I was also upset because I live in Atlanta, Georgia and could tell that this movie was filmed in Savannah, Georgia. They kept saying that they will be "there" in 1 1/2 hours. It keot throwing me off because I knew that "there" was Savannah, and that it takes several hours to get to Savannah from Atlanta. I think Tyler should have filmed in a different location. Maybe Athens, Georgia.... to be realistic with the time distanance, and not throw off people from Georgia watching the movie. When you make a movie, you should be more responsible and as accurate as possible. Sorry.
Cory was acting like Ike turner he played his part so good 😂 but the ending could’ve been better and show how the bad family turned out and how Ava new life turned out
The timeline was throwing me off because how was everyone getting to the small town in the country and back to atlanta so fast?? I understand it was an hour away but come on. They were traveling back and forth so fast like they were all living in the same place.
Baby, I ain’t watching another Tyler Perry film until there is definitive PROOF that there will be more outside creative input within TP Studios. Mea Culpa was the 👏🏾 LAST 👏🏾 STRAW. I will be giving my support to my black creators on YT who are reviewing his BS tho!
Okay, I'll have to stop and go watch the movie, dont want the spoilers. I'm never really impressed with his Movies, but it falls into the "so bad it's good" and they are scandalous!
Why make the same type of negative movie about the failure of Black Love. I forced myself to watch the entire movie. Poorly written and very predictable. Love gone bad and goes violent. Tyler Perry please start writing movies that show positivity about Black couples. Good actors that should have been in a better production.. Thumbs down 👎👎👎👎
The best part of his movies is listening to people roast them 😂 I swear he does this on purpose just to get a reaction 😂
I feel you on this...I'm waiting for DOUBLE TOASTED. Listen, TP (obviousely) doesn't give a "F" waht we or the critics say.

Oh no!😮 Please noooooo!😂
@@nicolejohnson4989 Sorry my bad. Let me clarify. Whoopi said that script was coming together. That leads me to believe Tyler ISN’T the writer. Even though Whoopi rocks with Tyler she knows his method of filmmaking isn’t a good fit for a Sister Act movie.
She already told Keke Palmer and Sheryl Lee Ralph she’s trying to figure a way to get them in the film.
Richard Lawson is the former husband of Beyoncé's momma Tina Knowles (post Matthew Knowles)
I hate he got attached to that family because he's been acting way before them but now THAT'S going to be in his liner notes forever.
@@sassybdiy7565 I only attached him because he stated in the video that he didn't know who he was.
You just discredited this man's entire acting catalog. Lol
He’s Bianca Lawson father
No, define him by his work
As a screenwriter writer filmmaker myself..I thought this movie was not good at all..there's no unique story line..no emotional connection...like diary of mad black woman..or.acrimony..I felt those.women pain...was connected to there story and growth...this movie makes no sense...nor do the character actions..Dallas is just a mad abusive man for no reason..Meagan good is the perfect saint..no different than any other Tyler film...ironically Cory hardict is the only semi decent actor in the film...he played his role
Richard Lawson has been around for years. He was in Scream Blackula Scream.
Poltergeist the first one,and he's handsome too...
Your facial expressions in the thumbnails lets us know wether or not we should watch a film Lol
One day this man’s eyes are going to eject from rolling at Tyler Perry movies. Be safe king!
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
God bless you for still watching Tyler Perry’s stuff…I tapped out around the time of Acrimony 😂A Jazzman’s Blues is great at least
Jazzman blues was awful too. How does a mother and daughter go back to their home town passing as white and nobody recognizes them!? 😂😂😂
@@actorselftaping6484that’s real you don’t know your history it’s called passing light skin it mixed black people some use to blend in to live a easier life but it’s really harder trying to hide
@@actorselftaping6484💀💀💀😆😆😆😖😖😖😖😖 oh no, I didn’t don’t see it yet, lmao
Of course You don't. He is the only one employing black actors, producers and engineers but we would rather tear down our own and go beg opportunities from the white community that supports their own even when they suck. That's who we are
I'm not a Tyler fan but this was one of his best movies. Corey and Meagan did an awesome job. In the first scene when his mom yells at him you felt his fear. Tyler learn how to direct your background actors and stop being cheesy with your sets. I was highly entertained. Good movie. I give it a 6 out of ten. Hire writers and set directors, please!!! Invest in the next John Singleton or Spike Lee.
I actually enjoyed this one. I just watched it earlier with my grandmother we both were into it. I will never shit on Tyler because of the job security he always gives to the ones who stayed down with him from the start and even ones he works with later. I love this for my people.
The job security Tyler (the person) offers black actors is a good thing, but the art that Tyler (the artist) is having the black actors produce is bad. I think it's okay to separate the art from the person and call the art shit when it is. Criticising the art shouldn't be seen as an indictment on the person.
Tyler's situation is bittersweet because it's like a man who does the good deed of feeding homeless people. However, the catch being, most of the food he feeds the homeless is rotten... It's a moral conundrum because rotten food in the short term is better than no food at all. However, the same rotten food has the downside of making those hungry people sick in the long run. It's a lesser of 2 evils scenario.
So, Yes, Tyler may indeed be providing job security (food on actors' plates), but in the longrun the quality of the work will never showcase his actors' acting chops/talent in the best light (potentially making it hard for them to be taken seriously). Just as the rotten food robs the homeless' health, bad acting gigs/bad movies rob an actor of being considered for future good roles (it kills their career in the long run as they will be type-cast as bad film actors). That's why we should call out the bad art; to put pressure on Tyler to improve the quality of his work. It's not only for the sake/health of his actors' futures, but it's for himself too.
*Spare the rod, spoil the child.*
Divorce in the Black was Boring and terrible I worked on that Movie last yr.Two weeks he filmed 🎥 that Movie. That Church Ranch and Trailer was down in Savannah
I just griped about this. I live in Atlanta, and I could tell it was filmed in Savannah. That was a bad decision... Because I could clearly see that, and I know that it takes several hours to get from Atlanta to Savannah. Not 1 1/2 hours. This should have been filmed in Athens. I'm going to stop supporting Tyler. He didn't even try.
It’s beautiful there. I love the spot where she’s running in the black set and she’s in between those willow trees.
Very boring. I couldn't finish it
I watched your review and then watched the movie. The movie was horrible, perhaps because it is so ridiculous from beginning to end. I think I laughed once and smirked twice. I knew exactly what would happen. A total waste of time. However, I do appreciate your review. So far, your review has been the most enjoyable part of my day.
Oh no! I hope Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict who are ATTRACTIVE and TALENTED will get far better roles. Oh the irony! Good's character in Think Like A Man threw shade at Tyler Perry movies. 😎
The way she signed the divorce papers without reading them, based on a verbal conversation they previously had. Plus with Dallas finding out she was seen with Benji before the meeting with the lawyers, might have led us to believe he had altered the paperwork since the verbal agreement. But then nothing came of it, so what was the point of the sequence of events? Strangely written.
OH MY GOODNESS… I thought the same thing. I was like when she told him get out her house maybe in the contract he was getting the house but nope nothing entertaining came from that or that damn letter
I thought that too. That would have been an unexpected twist. She signed without reading it because she was done.
@@victoriarice9595 yeah I get that she just wanted it to be over, but I just thought that with timing of things, and also taking into account the title of the movie, I thought he would try to attack her financially... I'm still trying to find the message in the movie LOL! Weird one TP
The woman said, 2 or 3 times, in that scene, that she'd read over the divorce papers. So, where did u get that she signed them, without reading them?!!!
@@sugalovely1238 if she read them via email or whatever prior to the meeting, would she not want to read them again (with counsel) at the actual meeting to make sure nothing was changed? My point is that the audience was misled into thinking that Dallas could have modified the papers due to the sequence of events, eg. being spotted with Benji at the Fair. I know that she was in a hurry to move on, but she could have ended up with a "Divorce in the Red", financially and emotionally.
The first 10 minutes of the movie I yelled "Here we go again!" I really thought the whole movie was going to be on that level but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It had some flaws in typical Tyler Perry fashion but it was not as bad as his previous 3, Mea Culpa, A Fall from Grace and Acrimony. Those were his worse 3 and it looked like that was the path he was going to continue to go down. This movie was a smidgen better so hopefully his movies will get better. Maybe he produced this on in 3 weeks instead of a week to 10 days.
This is a sad yet funny comment. 😅
The church scene at the beginning of this hot mess came straight out of a Monty Python skit. I have never laughed so hard at a scene that was supposed to be dramatic in my life. What’s funnier as that TP wrote it down and thought it was good.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh, my STARS!!! Brandon, you are officially my favorite movie critic! This review is hilarious & classy.
@@Faithfamilyandfunreviews Thank you
The sex scene did feel forced to me because just a couple of scenes before the same person who initiated said no for good reasons. He came on too strong to me in the scene that led up to the sex scene.
The Family that preys was his best movie in my opinion
Tyler Perry knows he is wrong
I watching the funeral scene now😂
If this man don't hire some writers and stop this foolishness, they need to revoke his black card.
I completely agree with your review. Also, Ava's parents were my favorite part of the movie. 😊
This movie made me realize how much he hates Black women.
Black people it’s always a negative undertone. Different demographics of people have different views on life, he always has a typical southern stereotype of BP not living up to social norms.
Friend, i KNOW you know who Richard Lawson is lol, he was the dude trying to get with Stella on how Stella got her groove back. Also his daughter is Bianca Lawson!
@sassybdiy7565 I forgot lol 😫
The one that was stuttering lmaooo
And was married to Tina Knowles
He was also one of Sandra's boyfriends on 227 lol. He's been around a long time
Interesting they all are divorced unsure about Debbie
I LOVED the WHOLE movie. That eulogy was not for the deceased in their service. It reminded me of a country funeral in a small Georgia church.
This is by far the quickest movie review you’ve ever done 😂
I was expecting to see the bleach bottle lol
Right! 😂
Me too! 😂
Right!
TP’s movies are awfully Predictable. The best I’ve seen from TP is the Jazzman’s Blues. He needs a new writer PERIOD. Cory Hardict did a great job as well as Meghan Good on the movie otherwise, it would be a flop in my opinion
Why do people always gotta complain about Tyler Perry movies…I think the movies was good
Okay I thought I was the only one😂 I think people just love to hate on Tyler💯
I agree, Tyler Perry needs to hire a team of writers! I found the crazy husband one dimensional! I agree, why would she stay? Did he have any redeeming qualities? It was better than most of his other films but that’s not a very high bar!
I asked the very same thing. What are his redeeming qualities?
Tyler doesn’t know how to write nuanced characters. They’re either evil incarnate or angels. There’s rarely a middle ground. Women in DV relationships get love bombed after their abuse, so they’ll stay. Where was that here?
I saw you had a new Tyler Perry review and dropped everything 😭😂
@@famousthaneus9810 😫😂
Immediately 😂
I gave this movie 27 minutes of my life. I'll never get back. 2/10
😂😂😂
Richard Lawson was Loretta Divine's love interest in For Colored Girls and he was on Good Times when JJ dreamt he was white.
Lol
Poltergeist the first one.. he's been around...
Kerry Washington has a movie with Perry.
Tyler Perry has a movie about Black History
Black women in the military during WW2
Lets hope and 🙏, he doesn't screw this up.
We don't have that many movies about Blacks in the military during WW2.
Knowing him, he will have struggling black woman who is being abused by a black man.
And she joins the military to escape his abuse.
Then he’ll come running to get her back and she’ll reject him with some corny monologue.
You know what.. it was better than Mea Culpa....that was a hot mess 🤣. I really loved the grocery store scene. I think that scene was meant to be some comedic relief when he yelled at the clerk. I think Meagan was solid throughout. I didn't agree with some of Cory's acting choices (especially the crying scenes) but overall I think he did a great job. It's giving very much a TP production but it was entertaining.
That was the emptiest grocery store I've ever seen. Lol
Even in my mom's small hometown always had plenty of people.
This movie was not better than Mea Culpa
I can’t even sit through this review because i’m trying to forget i sat and watched that “movie”
I just heard of this movie when I saw your thumbnail. I'm gonna go watch it first, so I'm not biased, then come back and see what you said.
***I just finished it and your video. I see what you're saying about his acting, but when I tell you he made me flashback to a situation in my life w/someone who was that type of angry... I had no point of reference to know he'd be that type of person bc I'd never met anyone like that before, and hadn't seen the women in my family dealing with that type of man. I got away from the situation, but he was an off kilter angry like Hardwick played. It was realistic to me, but her reaction to it was way different from mine, bc I wasn't trying to fight to stay w/him. I was trying to get away safely.
Brandon is going to tear this up. 🤣 All of these back to back movies with lack of a plot and/or logic. TP should take a sabbatical and be about QUALITY and not QUANTITY! 🙄
Agreed. I’d give it a 3/10. I think the actors only did the job for money.
Richard Lawson Career started in the 1970s he was in the movie with pam grier in the second Blacula movie scream blacula scream (1973) in the blaxploitation days his daughter is bianca Lawson who also played Pam Grier and snoop dogg's daughter in Bones (2001)
I remember him as the chief of police in Streets of Fire (1984). It starred William Defoe as the leader of a biker gang that kidnapped a rock star played by Diane Lane and Stoney Jackson & Robert Townsend were members of an R&B group that opened for her.
I loved Bones and didn’t realize Richard Lawson was also in How Stella Got Her Groove Back and For Colored Girls. I see how Tina Knowles had to circle back around to him for a while. He is still quite handsome.
I realize it's not the actors that are bad actors, it's Tyler perry's directing. I've seen how Karen from sisters act in 'if beale street could talk' and the acting was night and day. I used to watch the queens men and I could clearly tell when Tyler began to take a hands on approach and that's when I stopped watching it.
I thought this was one of his better movies. Great review🙏
I thought it was terrible, the acting and it seemed kinda low budget to me
Yes it was terrible a lot of people are band wagoners that’s it that’s all don’t have a mind of their own
The first part of the movie was absolutely hilarious! I would have never dreamed that would have happened bravo for that scene. I thought that Cory Hardrict was the stand out in the movie, he was very believable. I thought it was going to be worse but it actually was better than I expected. It wasn’t horrible which I was expecting so I gave it a 5.5 overall The overall problem is story and character development
Damn this seem so bad I just might watch to get a good laugh 😂😅
I paused it several times lol.
Same here....
I cannot wait for this review. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tyler has to do better and get some writers to help out on his work, or he won't have any decent quality actors that won't waste their talent in his productions.
Point blank the movie was good,the actors,script,the writer was good go Tyler Perry
hardrict had the same lines in every scene it was over done
You were very kind in your review.
hey, Brandon! I'd not heard of this film before now and it sounds like, even though I'm laid up with a swollen knee, and in the perfect position to watch a bad B (or C) movie, I'm still cautious. It means that if the first half is as bad as you say, I can't just jump up and go in the kitchen for another cookie, peanut butter bread or fruit snack. Because of my injured knee, I'd just have to lay there and bare it waiting for this not-as-bad second half. Also, you said that you'd never seen Richard Lawson before; I bet you have, though. He was in 'Poltergeist'. He showed up with the lil' short lady that cleaned out the house.
The whole thing fell flat for me. The acting in the first half made it hard stay invested to the end. And to your point, the development of the characters was lacking. Maybe if there was more of backstory in the beginning, that could have helped.
Yall are dragging this. I really enjoyed this movie 😂😊
Glad you enjoyed it lol
Richard Lawson is Beyoncé real life step dad ‘ fun fact fam
*was. He and Tina recently divorced as well.
The funeral scene was absolutely terrible. It's a bottom feeder movie never will watch it again
My friend forced me to watch this and I absolutely hated it 🤭
Same
It was just a movie. I thought it was pretty good. Cory is a good actor.
I was so pumped to see Cory Hardict. But who wants an erotic church movie!?
I’m glad they got paid but I wish this could have moved through a little better.
A family that prays is his best work!!
How the whole internet do me like this....I was not ready for the opening funeral scene. JESUS FIX IT!!!!
This movie was bad. I was also upset because I live in Atlanta, Georgia and could tell that this movie was filmed in Savannah, Georgia. They kept saying that they will be "there" in 1 1/2 hours. It keot throwing me off because I knew that "there" was Savannah, and that it takes several hours to get to Savannah from Atlanta. I think Tyler should have filmed in a different location. Maybe Athens, Georgia.... to be realistic with the time distanance, and not throw off people from Georgia watching the movie. When you make a movie, you should be more responsible and as accurate as possible. Sorry.
Is that where his studio is?
Had to come back to this because I’m seriously asking that. I know stuff on the internet gets taken the wrong way
Is that where his studio is
@@Nico-vn8uq His studio is in Atlanta.
Cory was acting like Ike turner he played his part so good 😂 but the ending could’ve been better and show how the bad family turned out and how Ava new life turned out
Your face on the thumbnail tells me everything I need to know 😂😂
The funeral scene was so over the top and ridiculous, this movie is trash!
The timeline was throwing me off because how was everyone getting to the small town in the country and back to atlanta so fast?? I understand it was an hour away but come on. They were traveling back and forth so fast like they were all living in the same place.
Baby, I ain’t watching another Tyler Perry film until there is definitive PROOF that there will be more outside creative input within TP Studios. Mea Culpa was the 👏🏾 LAST 👏🏾 STRAW. I will be giving my support to my black creators on YT who are reviewing his BS tho!
Great review! Very professional. Keep doing you! ♥️
Thank you so much!
Okay, I'll have to stop and go watch the movie, dont want the spoilers. I'm never really impressed with his Movies, but it falls into the "so bad it's good" and they are scandalous!
The funeral was over the top. I knew she was going to kill him, but it was premeditated because where did her gun come from.
Remember, her Dad brought all the guns over; that's the one she picked, I guess. That was my reasoning. It was a lot to unpack.
Corey did an excellent job very believable. Just wanted to mention that since I didn’t hear it in this commentary.
Why make the same type of negative movie about the failure of Black Love. I forced myself to watch the entire movie. Poorly written and very predictable. Love gone bad and goes violent. Tyler Perry please start writing movies that show positivity about Black couples. Good actors that should have been in a better production.. Thumbs down 👎👎👎👎
Well said! Could not agree more! 💯
I loved the Movie...Divorce in the Black❤🎉😊
I’m ready for this review 😂😂😂
