Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black

This is not a perfect movie but it's definitely not awful. The opening scene kind of sucks you in, and it doesn't really let up. The performances are decent and the country setting is nice. Downside is you know where the storyline is going, and some of the decision making by the characters in the movie is downright dumb. Other than that, I believe it's worth the watch. The run-time is a little long at over 2hrs but it keeps your interest. As long as you don't go in expecting Oscar worthy performances with an Oscar worthy screenplay, you'll be fine. Quite frankly, just watch the movie and enjoy it without expectations!

This movie is really poorly written and yet the general idea is good.

Get better writers, take time to tell the story. Also get quality directors and editors.

In the last few years, Tyler Perry movies build up well, crescendo and fall apart all too quickly. That is due to poor writing or a discombobulated set of ideas. Viewers deserve better.

You get a great cast and quality acting but the final result is miserable. The score is poor as well.

Let's get back to high standards in telling these stories. No excuses. It has been done before.

Give it some finesse. Let's go!

What we watched was messy.

Tyler makes the worse movies about black people.

If you are an actor don't sell yourself for this buffoonery...the way it started I thought was a comedy. Such a waste of time. It never should have been made. My people...We're better than this...this is not entertaining, it's embarrassing and gives black actors and filmmakers a bad rep!

Writers room...Would help so much, maybe hire more talented people to help with your workload...this is like eating White Castle frozen food if I had to compare it to anything. Tyler just doesn't care anymore about his art, like seriously, mea culpa now this, you could care like a little more...Denzel would never be in this or will smith.

The two stars are for the actors. We are so desperate to see black films that we keep watching Tyler Perry movies knowing the writing will be terrible. This one was terrible! He doesn't care the networks don't care we just have to stop watching and giving his movies viewership. I'm done the gimmick is over for me. No more Tyler Perry movies. It seems like he put a bunch of lifetime movies together to make one bad movie. The funeral scene was stupid. There was no plot building and the bad family seemed like a family from the 70's. I don't normally review movies only if it's really great or really bad. He just needs to stop.

I will start with saying, the only reason this is 3 stars instead of 1 is purely down to the actors. The story line was dull, predictable and what has become in my opinion "typical Tyler Perry".

He should have quit writing years ago, yet he continues to whip up something quick, without care or consideration and ends up butchering everything for the sake of making a few bucks. No care for the actors and complete disregard towards the viewers experience.

I think it is time he stopped putting his name in the titles as people are just going to avoid the films, or go into it with a negative bias, simply for that from now on.
