Honestly this is one of the best movies I've ever seen it made me laugh, smile, cry, and it made me want to yell at the TV. This movie made me appreciate life and where I am a lot more. Lets just say it opened up my eyes to see things clearer. This movie is now my favorite movie ever and I think every one should watch this movie.

I hate this movie!!! Its so fucking depressing. Like even the actors were shitty. I will never watch this movie again. I cant believe I spent my money going to see this crap at a movie theater. Honestly this was NOT one of Tyler Perry's best movies.
