Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
[Perry] makes it easy on us, mostly by letting his cast do what it wants.

fresh:
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.

rotten:
None of these flaws will matter much to Perry's devoted audiences, whose support has enabled him to virtually build a media empire.

fresh:
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.

rotten:
Faulting Tyler Perry for his nonsensical, melodramatic plots is a little like accusing Douglas Sirk of using too much color.
