This movie is a mess. It can't make up it's mind if its a comedy, a drama, a dramady, a morality play or a farce. The characters are one dimensional; all characters are either all good or all bad. Nothing in between. There is no subtlety to this movie or colors of emotion. It is lacking in verisimilitude. The over the top performances of the grandmother and grandfather knock you out of the reality of the story. You can't have it both ways.
The music is annoying, manipulative and intrusive. I can't help rolling my eyes and yelling oh brother as it underscore emotional changes and epiphanies. Again no subtlety.
The love interest is so good; he is always talking about love. The wife is so good and kind and hurt. The husband so mean and hateful. People have good and bad in life; they are not all one way. This movie insists that people are one or the other. This takes us back to melodramatic morality plays of the middle ages.
Tyler Perry rips off Eddie Murphy by playing multiple roles that aren't nearly as funny as Murphy's. He even rips off the fart jokes of the elderly black man.
There is not one iota of cleverness or originality in this infuriating mess of a movie. This movie insults the intelligence of every moviegoer.
Positives: it was great seeing Cicely Tyson again and Judge Mablean's cameo was fun. Overall, a colossal waste of time.
