If only Madea could’ve been throughout the movie it would had been a lot better. Some of the acting skillz were lacking and the storyline was unbelievable. I’m happy for Tyler Perry though.

I Liked it! Hated the ending but it was one of his best films. Liked it better than his earlier films ie Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea’s Family Reunion.

I laughed a lot, but Madea needs a little break. I agree with what Tyler said last week on the view. I am very happy for his success. Now if they can just get Precious, formerly push released, that is the movie right there.
