VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Jazzie-too This movie is not a one star. This movie is not a one star. This movie is not a one star. This movie is not a one star. Who could possibly give it a "one" star rating? Well, over 1,000 did. I don't seriously think it was a 10, but since so many others, who probably have prejudices, gave it a 1,2, or 3, I countered with a "10", thinking, personally, it was closer to an 8. I think it was one of Tyler Perry's more interesting movies, though I love his comedy series, "Meet the Browns". I think he is incredible, and doesn't need Oprah to elevate him to stardom. She enjoys taking too much credit. I'm a 60+, senior, female, white, straight, and who doesn't care about other folk's sexual preferences. I really liked this film. As most of TP's movies, there were many good lines and messages to remind us of good principles. Good job Tyler!!

beaucheri33 This movie is really not THAT BAD, I myself am not a fan of Tyler Perry films so I didn't even bother going to see it in the theaters.. instead I watched it one night when I was bored after looking through my dad's DVD collection and decided to keep an open mind, and it really was quite watchable..First off..I believe that Alfre Woodard's character was just what this movie needed.. in the midst of all the craziness she was very grounded, caring, sincere, and most of all she was very level headed!!!! those traits are very hard to find in characters that exist in Tyler Perry's films and I was very impressed!!!! she and Kathy Bates made an awesome pair as friends who were able to put their differences aside and have a wholesome friendship, and I admired how the writers didn't go overboard with shoving the issue of Racism and Discrimination like I thought they would.. I'll admit that when I saw the previews for this film I had the impression that it would be all about chaos dealing with a white man having an affair with a black woman.. and blah blah blah.. that's why i wasn't really excited about watching it in the first place, but every main character in this film had their own set of issues.. and skin color had nothing to do with it... so kudos to Perry for thinking outside the box FOR ONCE!!!Anyway their were some things about this film that threw me off like Andrea's personality!!!She was by far just ridiculous and the most annoying character in the whole movie!!! I hated how it took so long for her husband to figure out what was going on..OMG!!!! all the evidence was there!!! he was so oblivious and that really bugged me. This film was also a bit cliché.. I mean everyone knows about Co-workers who mess around while other Co-workers giggle and gossip behind their backs until the spouses find out, and then it all goes down hill from there.. so yeah It was quite predictable that the whole Andrea and Cartwright flame would eventually fizzle, but I was at least still interested in how the story would end.Overall I enjoyed it.. It wasn't perfect, but still entertaining for the most part, and probably the best film Perry has made so far.. but that's just my opinion.

TamPalm My rating is 6.5. Okay, this is not an Oscar film--but for what it is, for Tyler Perry's "genre" if you will--it's decent and at the very least watchable. It's tailored for Perry's audience in that the substance or breadth or depth of the plot or characters is (apparently) not his focus, but rather generating conversation amongst movie-goers seems to be his aim...which he does maybe better than anyone else. For all his flaws, Perry knows his audience.That said, let me offer honest criticism. The movie is entertaining and keeps you watching, but it is not refined. It's Hershey's not Godiva if you catch my drift. The main dig I will give is that there is almost no character depth. The characters are one-dimensional and thus the movie's IQ is diminished. There is little thinking involved; it--like most of Perry's works--is emotion-based. I found the plot rather clever, so no dig there. But it's the characterization surrounding the plot that could have used more attention.So in sum, this movie is watchable and enjoyable. It's not deep, it's not enriching, it's not life-changing. It's just quintessential Tyler Perry...and all that that entails.

danceability Pure GOLD ... TPS has struck GOLD AGAIN ..., Tyler Perry has become one of my favorite actors / directors. He seems to, "get" what women feel / know and what we, as humans ahould always remember, that to treat strangers with respect as they may be angels in disguise.Charlotte ( Kathy Bates ) and Alice ( Alfre Woodard ) have been friends for over 30 years. Charlotte is a rich woman and Alice is a middle class woman, yet their friendship has thrived for so many years. I have to say that if Anyone is Blessed to have a friend as wonderful as Alice, God has Blessed them, cause not too many people come around like her that keep you grounded and love you no matter what.I didn't like Andrea ( Alice's daughter ) at all when I first was introduced to her. To me, she was a spoiled, spiteful woman who had major issues with Charlotte and why her mom was allowing Charlotte to pay for her wedding. She was still dislikable through almost all the movie to me.This movie has a wonderful way of making a person thankful for those that love them, for enjoying the life one has been Blessed with, and making the most of kindness to others. As with most Tyler Perry movies, I can not praise them enough for the messages and entertainment value he provides. You'll sit and watch this to enjoy a movie, but you will also feel your heart and conscience get bigger, just like the grinch in the Dr. Suess story did.
