Critic Reviews
-
Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York
Faulting Tyler Perry for his nonsensical, melodramatic plots is a little like accusing Douglas Sirk of using too much color.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Amid the shout-downs over adultery, male power, and the agony of coping with a child's death, one performance glistens -- Jill Scott's as the sad, heavyset Sheila, who locates the faith that's the source of love.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
None of these flaws will matter much to Perry's devoted audiences, whose support has enabled him to virtually build a media empire.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Despite the improbable ease of pic's genteel psychoanalysis, the characters are thesped with enough depth and emotional investment to make their problems feel legit.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
[Perry] makes it easy on us, mostly by letting his cast do what it wants.
