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.

I am convinced Tyler Perry absolutely hates his people and Black women. His writing depicts Black people in the worst light and makes a mockery of our culture while enforcing negative stereotypes for the world to laugh at or along with him. This movie was a waste of time and as much as I want to see the actors and Tyler Perry succeed, this was mediocre writing, acting and directing at best. Megan Goode and Debbie Morgan were the highlights (I fell in love with the both of them in Eve's Bayou) and still could not save the movie from his terrible writing. This movie is best described as a mix of Sistas meets Real Housewives of Atlanta which both are garbage.

Everyone was a fool in this movie.

Highly unrealistically dramatic. Everyone acting a fool including the "godly" folks encouraging the daughter to date, flirt, whatever while still married.

What a shiz show. I got so irritated with the silly script had to stop 2/3 of the way through.

Definitely not even close to Tyler Perry's other movies. Some better than others but all have been watchable for me.

Started out like a Jerry Springer episode. Was way overly acted to the point where you couldn't take it seriously. I figured I could at least enjoy the humor. Nope.

It got too annoying. Like those horror movie commercials where dumb victims hide amidst all the deadly weapons that can kill them. Just no.

Well that escalated quickly!!!

Tyler Perry does it again! As usual Tyler continues to be a part of black stereotypes and bad behaviour crew. Perfect man protecting the poor abused woman against the real bad man (not just flawed). It always has to be some over the top nonsense.

The actors always turn into these caricatures of themselves. Megan somehow turned into a female Rambo. Her best friend turns into the ghetto friend who keeps it real. And of course Corey is the angry, abusive black man. No need to address his generational trauma because that doesn't create enough drama. His acting in this is something to be desired in my opinion....

Good Lord, some originality would really be great after all these years but I guess TP writes what people want to watch.
