It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I only liked the Madea parts. The other parts, I didnt like them. I didn't like when that dude hit that woman and I didn't like when that dude was humiliating that girl. If the movie would have been all about Madea, it would have been way better.

Absolutely LOVE Madea! Wish I had someone like her in MY family! Lol. Amazing movie, great storyline, really funny with a heartfelt story mixed in. Truly a good movie!

Has the African American family become Ernest? I am ashamed at how Tyler Perry uses loaded stereotypes with weak stories to continue to produce the same content with different names.The story seemed weak with poor acting and overall had be more frustrated at how an unintelligent viewer would look at this movie and say this is how I need to live or act. The problem with the culture in relation to the art is that you will influence the people in a way that they don't understand. While I always try to keep a positive view of anything someone takes the time to create this movie just misses the mark. His jokes are awful and the way he tried to combine stories to keep someones attention was a complete disaster. The worst part about this and many of his films is that other African Americans are paying him to watch themselves get made into people they are not. This is just low brown entertainment that is not worth wasting your time on!

New rule: If Tyler Perry wants to make another drama, he must not advertise it as a comedy.After looking at the DVD case and seeing the trailer, I was expecting to laugh my ax off. I was expecting a comedy. I mean, look at the dang case! Madea is standing in the middle of a bunch of other characters that I quite frankly don't care about. She's standing in the exact center! And don't even get me started on the trailer. The only thing it showed was Madea's talk about "me time," Madea ticked off about the parking spot, and Madea surrounded by a SWAT team. This movie looked funnier than Norbit, which really isn't saying much but still.I have lied to many people in my life, but the way Tyler Perry lied to us is unforgivable. I loved Daddy's Little Girls. Seriously, that movie is at least a 9/10. But the difference is that I was not expecting a comedy. Perry didn't advertise it that way, he was honest about what to expect. I would've appreciated it if I was warned that Madea is in less than half the movie. That's right, LESS THAN HALF! This is one of the movies where you have to program certain chapters in order for it to be a comedy.For Christ's sake, he put Madea's name in the title of the movie! Isn't he aware of the unwritten rule that if a movie is named after a certain character, he/she better be in 50% of the movie. They need to be the main character which Madea clearly wasn't.This movie needed a different title. For example: Pimps & Hoes, On Your Back for a Fix, or In Love with a Ho.Let me ask you a question, did Top Gun advertise Val Kilmer on the front of the movie case? No. Because he wasn't a main character. Tom Cruise was! This movie reminds me of the Sweetest Thing. Remember how the first part of the movie made you laugh and then Cameron Diaz starts crying and you begin to feel uncomfortable because you weren't expecting this. If I wanted to see or hear people cry about meaningless relationships, I would go back to high school.Anyway, let's get back to Madea. I still can't believe the main characters turned out to be a junkie prostitute and a man who doesn't know how to make crying seem believable. My God, it was like he was laughing with his eyes squeezed shut. Then there's the she-male in a women's prison. Does Tyler Perry really think that they would put a man in a women's prison simply because he had a sex change operation? I've read some comments for people who like to hate on Madea. They would be happy if Madea wasn't in the movie at all. I'm not one of those people. The problem with this movie is that it can't make up its mind on who the main character is and what kind of movie it wants to be. Like a 2-year-old who says he needs to pee and wants you to take him to the bathroom just so he can lay on the floor and laugh at how mad you're getting. Wait, where did that come from? Why couldn't this movie just give equal time to each character the way Boogie Nights did? Could you imagine if Dirk Diggler was only in that movie for less than thirty minutes? That's what Tyler Perry and the editors did to Madea. Maybe THEY wanted to focus on the other characters more than her but I think that I speak for many when I say WE DIDN'T! "I lured her to a house full of horny men who surprisingly raped her!" "Did you know that they were gonna do that to me?" "I called out for you and you weren't there!" This is not what I expected and I don't think I can ever trust Perry again after this crap! I voted 5/10 simply because Madea is in SOME of this film.
