gamefreke89 I literally could not sit still for the entire two hours of this movie because it was that bad. This movie was so cliché it was driving me crazy. The mom that can't make ends meet to the deadbeat dad that doesn't care about his son. I often wonder what hell would be like, I now imagine having to watch this movie over and over again. Don't waste your time on this movie, You'll want to sue Tyler perry for your money and time back. I honestly don't understand how anyone could even remotely like this movie. I thought the entire storyline and plot was very unimaginative and extremely predictable. The humor was stupid and immature and didn't even get a smile at me, more like a wtf? was that supposed to be funny? Seriously DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Paul well I am surprised with the bad vote this movie has here. It is not the best of Tyler. But certainly not a bad movie. The movie circulated around most of the same theme as all Tyler has. Hard life, bad community, good community, how to find yourself a place in this life, how to struggle and at the end to reach to your happiness. I do really like the acting from Angela Basset. It was awesome. The film is predictable but not the message. Unfortunately Madea's part is really small. It seems that they tried to hard to squeeze her inside the film. They should work harder in the script to put more part for Madea. I really miss her thought. :-D

carmelmochachi This was the worst Tyler Perry project i have ever seen. I never flt compelled to see it in the theater as I was with his other projects and now I am glad that I didn't waste my money. Angela Basset messed the role up soo bad. She was soo overacting and unbelievable, i could not believe how mad I was that she was doing no justice to this role. In all of his movies u find someone you can relate to or sympathize with. Not this time this was just awful. It was a disappointment to fans. I also saw the weaving of several plays together. Fans would recognize that but the main character was so badly played she was Tina Turner same moves and responses it was soo awful. Tyler Perry is so fun and enjoyable because of his characters they are down to earth. We know someone like that. The lady that played Vera was a good choice, but the main character was flawed. I am disappointed and I hope that he remakes this film with a better lead role.

ian_sylvie ********Spoiler Ahead********* I am a big Tyler Perry fan, and have supported all his work. I was so looking forward to this film, but I've never been so disappointed as I was when I saw this latest one. The actors were great, with the exception of a few that were just too way over the top. I know they are supposed to be, but it just didn't work with the drama. What really made me drop total interest was the scene where the family is being told their father, who was a deacon, used to be a pimp. And all the women that the family knew as upstanding, were various types of "hos" That scene was totally unnecessary and disgusted me. After that I didn't care to see anymore. Too bad Tyler, I hope you get some of these comments your fans are giving you so you do a better job next time.
