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.

  • 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.

  • Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail

    The lead actors make Perry's didacticism easier to take.

    Seriously this was a good movie. I liked the dating part most. It was funny. And also loved the part where a father can do anything for his children. The little one was cute. Liked her attitude. The story is very touchy. It will bring you to tears and make you angry at the same time… More

    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.

    This was a good story, a little drug out in places and the mother and her boyfriend were bad in a cartoonish sort of way. But all in all it was a good story about a dad wanting to take care of his kids and how communities can change injustices if they are willing to stand up together.
