This is one of the better Tyler Perry movies but the ending is still bad. And the plot is questionable! It's about a woman that fell in love with a black man but then moved away and started passing for white. The woman ends up returning south with her white husband to the same town where her black lover, his mom, and several other people that know her true identity live. At many times through out the movie she threatens to tell her white husband of her true identity. And to do that would be an absolute death sentence for her. To me, this movie is over sensationalizing a true thing that many black peoples had to do to survive in the racist south. Those that passed for white had to leave town forsaking friends and family and NEVER returned to places where people knew their identity. Then at the end the black man main character is very successful up north and returns south where he knows they are looking to kill him and he turns himself in to the white mob and they hang him. The whole plot was sensational that the seriousness of the ending did not match. It's a no for me.
