Tyler Perry movies suffer from poor and amateurish writing, below average acting Janet Jackson is particularly bad), and the same story just told in a different way. Doesn't he have any original material? The situations are melodramatic and not real life, the story lacks continuity, focus and the situations are predictable. Several user reviews imply the low rating for the film is based on racism. (!!?!) A poorly made film is a poorly made film, whether by Asians, whites or blacks. The script is so mundane and at times even ridiculous. It is more professionally made than some of his other films, but that isn't saying much.
