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.

    Tasha Smith with her sword like words were so freaking awesome. I simply loved this movie. It's not only entertaining but also there were a lot of things to learn from it. As it's pretty much related to real life. It's like educating yourself about marriage.

    amidst the pop psychology and well worn characatures there lies some wonderful ensemble performances that are breezy and very human. Add to this some wonderful overall performances by Jill Scott and Janet Jackson (who knew??) and you've got a commendable film that made me both… More

    Clumsy structure? Certainly. One note characters? Perhaps. Simple answers to complex questions? Almost certainly. But know what? There's a human aspect to the film which makes it endearing and immensely watchable at the same time. Jill Scott is the absolute stand out… More

    This is a great movie. It has the quick, witty humor that Tyler Perry often brings to the screen. It will make you think about life, honesty, and relationships. There are so many emotions in this film that you'll be laughing one minute, crying another. This movie drives home the… More
