Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    Dismissed by critics but embraced by African-American audiences, Tyler Perry now opens his pictures without press previews, but on the basis of this expert melodrama he might want to reconsider.

  • Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York

    Love can transcend class lines; in Tyler Perry's universe, it also defies all rules of the legal system -- and logic.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    It makes you happy to receive the Word of Perry.

  • Jim Ridley, Village Voice

    Come back, Madea, and bring your chainsaw.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    Subtlety has never been Perry's strength, but his previous films balanced the sermonizing with good humor and sincerity. Perhaps next time, he'll ease up on the lectures, and bring back the love.

    The one and only Tyler Perry film that I have seen and I hope I don't end up seeing many. This paint by numbers effort translates bad rom com to the black community.

  • Eduardo T


    An inspiring well thought out film. To bad that's all it has going for it. Tyler Perry should stick to comedies, as if that still does him good. There was no real plot build-up to this one. Everything was also fasted pasted, which is not good for a movie that has a sub genre of… More

    An exceptionally good movie about a father that put the care and concerns of his daughters first. A deeply moving and gripping tale that is a must see. Tyler Perry has struck gold again. The end left me wanting for more. Please see it.
