Divorzio in nero

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 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.

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.

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!

It's almost so bad it's good. Believe me, even the opening 5 minutes will give you an idea of the hilariously bad the direction of the movie is going. I'll go ahead and call it the "Church" scene. Overacting, bad acting and unusual acting methods from vetted actors. I know Tyler Perry movies... can produce some inconsistent results and performances. The over acting feels like theater, and its script is unrealistic and not relatable. The amount of swearing, screaming and random outbursts of verbal conflicts is every 5 minutes in this movie. But the camera work is definitely is insanely good. So there's that. That's why I have it a '2' and not '1'.
