Thinking that this was another "religous picture" I did not go to see it at the movies. I waited and I hated that I did not support it on the opening week. This movie was a a portrait of what the modern couple experiences. Although there were creative liberties taken , all and all this was a wonderful heart warming film that depicts realistic marriages. I felt that this could have been someone that I know. When life makes a u turn to our expectations. Bill Duke did a wonderful job. Some scenes were even cliffhangers and heart breakers. I will surely get this for my Library. This film is not a family film but it is a wonderful couple date film. Loved it , Loved it , Loved it
Preachy? What do you expect from a film directed by a preacher? I thought the storyline was focused and the acting fairly notable. I think most of us can relate too relationship woes where solutions are rarely sought, let alone resolved. I enjoyed it.

This movie was terrific! Great plot, subplot, writing and acting. Worth the money and would see again. Gender nor race matters when viewing this movie, everyone can relate to the family relationships, friendships, etc. The religious aspect keeps being mentioned when describing this movie but it wasn't over the top or preachy, just real. This movie is great for girls night out, date night or family viewing. The messages can touch anyone. We laughed, cried, said I know that's right, you name it, we experienced the emotion. There aren't very many movies anymore that make you laugh, cry, relate to the people around you and keep you discussing it hours later but "Not Easily Broken" does all of this and more. Deserves much more attention than it will probably receive.
Not your typically story line. This is a must see for all couples and especially married couples. I liked the fact that it gave you another perspective on how some marriages get in trouble. This was not the typically man bashing movie. We need more movies that show several different experiences in relationships instead of the same ole he cheated or he abused her... My husband also thought this was not the typically couples movie so I think men and women would like this one. Kevin H. was also very funny in this movie. I was glad to see Morris C. in a movie without Gabby. This movie didn't get the credit it deserved by most papers.
I wanted support the movie because I am a big fan of T.D. Jakes' works. I went with a sibling who was also skeptical about the film because of the lack of buzz around it. To sum up our experience, we were SO GLAD that we went to view it last night. We thoroughly enjoyed the film as did the rest of the audience. We are still talking about it.
Morris Chestnut and Taraji Henson did a great job with their roles. I highly recommend the movie for couples, singles, divorcées, and etc. as the movie makes points about relationships that everyone can relate to on some level - yet without beating you over the head.
Do not go by the reviews, go and see this movie for yourself - you will not be disappointed!
