The emotions are not the only ups and downs in this newest Tyler Perry film. I have a great respect for what Tyler Perry has done. His films, however simple, send out positive messages and have incorporated music and humor like we don't often see any more.
This film, unlike his others, is adapted from a platy. A great one at that (so I've heard).
I'll be quick.
The acting is beyond perfect. Why was Janet Jackson not nominated for an academy award? Her performance was flawless. Kimberly Elise is always amazing and she does not disappoint. Let's just say there was not ONE bad piece of acting in this film. Them men were great as well. Kimberly's husband is eerily intimidating. Amazing work.
OK...
Here's why the movie didn't get a 10 from me.
The characters randomly vomit out poetry from the original play. However beautiful, it takes you out of the film. There is so much tragedy in the film... the poems could have been voice overs or in a diary... but not spoken aloud. That's the films biggest downfall.
Overall, this is a movie that needs to be seen. These are real problems that are faced by real men and women. Great job Tyler Perry. Can't wait until your next film!
