Comments have been interesting on this one and have definitely opened my eyes to some interesting ideas and perspectives on this one that we missed while watching it. Please please please don't be mad 😅😅😅 I'm gonna do my best to navigate a response to this. Firstly, I'm walking back on saying Robert was a good dude, at least not the entire time. This isn't black and white but very gray. A better statement from me would have been that what he did after the fact was good. It was truly a solid move. Does it give her back the 18 years she gave him? Not even close. But I still think the gesture is very meaningful especially considering the circumstances (don't attack me yet, let me get through this 😅😅😅😅😅). Melinda, justifiably, wanted a divorce. She wanted him out. Robert begged to stay and she wasn't having it. As far as Robert understood, Melinda wanted nothing to do with him ever again. Following this, he was literally homeless, living out of a shelter and just barely surviving. At divorce court, Robert still tried to work it out with her, but she stuck to her guns and said no (again, this is totally understandable - not faulting her at all). It wasn't until Diana gave Robert a place to stay and helped him work out a better deal that things turned around for him. When he turned up at Melinda's office, she made it abundantly clear to him even then that she had zero interest in getting back together with him (again, justified, understandable). He respected this and was asking for nothing. He gave her a check for more money than most people will ever earn in a life time and her family house. Again, this doesn't give her back those 18 years of sacrifice, but it's a big move he could have just as easily not done and it would have been legally impossible to sue him (at least as outlined by the movie). It's also a lot more money than they would have had together had he taken the initial offer of less than a million dollars (which is what she would have preferred at the time). Keeping in mind Robert's selfish approach to their mutual survival and just the overall health of his marriage: in his obsessive mind, he genuinely believed in what he was doing with blinders and he believed it would take them to new heights. He didn't cheat again and was squarely focused on the "golden goose" for both of them. He obsession blinded him from his wife's needs, his marriage and responsibilities. She also made the choice to stay through all that rather than leave sooner. So... please forgive me for those of you who hardcore side with Melinda... but I say this is on both of them. She stayed either because she was extremely loyal, she felt she was in too deep to ever leave (she never wanted her family to know) or had some kind of gambler's fallacy. Whatever the reason was, she stayed. He also made the choice to ignore all the obvious signs his wife was very unhappy and needed actual help along the way. He put Melinda through a lot in this regard. Ultimately, both characters took actions that were harmful. While I understand Melinda's rage when she discovered what Robert was up to right after she got him that car (and it's very easy to understand where she's coming from), she chose to drive her jeep into his trailer. Legally, she would be held 100% accountable for that event. Not her partner who cheated right after generously being given a means of transportation. What he did was SUPER messed up. And what she did could have killed both Robert and Diana. Cheating is wrong, but murder is definitely not the move - refusing to speak to him ever again is the move. Her bodily damage in that car accident was symbolic and foreshadowing. She could have driven away in that moment but chose to try and hurt Robert and Diana, but only hurt herself but taking such an action. This is what gets her in the end. The insane success Robert found came after Melinda made it abundantly clear their marriage was beyond over, after he was homeless and after he was rescued by Diana. If it wasn't for Melinda, Robert would have never been able to reach the first offer of almost 1 million dollars. And if it wasn't for Diana, Robert would have never been able to get the insane deal so he could gift Melinda the 10 million dollars and the house. She wasn't going to get the 18 years back, but she was given an opportunity most people don't get: a chance to start over without the need to work ever again. Whoever Robert moved on with was his business following Melinda's adamance that their marriage was over. It obviously is a big reason to hurt, seeing the person you were with go back with someone they cheated on you with, but he has that freedom to pursue that since he was divorced. I get her rage and I get why those of you siding with Melinda hard core do. And I think the film is meant to be cautionary tale advising the audience members who are going through a tough time: learn to let go. This is a lesson I have struggled with and it's REALLY hard to get through that. Seeing the comments and the discussion this film has invited has made me appreciate this film even more. There is even more to extract from Acrimony than I expected upon initial viewing. It really makes you think and reflect. And lastly, to any possible future Mrs. Koay that might be reading this... Melinda was absolutely right, fuck Robert. 🤣
Hahaha att Mrs. Koay. I saw this before I started my long response and this addressed almost all my concerns. The reason I believe it was extra painful that he moved on with Diana is because that event (caused by her rage) is what took away her ability to have children. So that pain for a woman plus the 18 years is enough to drive any human insane. Another reason for me as you guys explore in your commentary why the whole idea of her being crazy in a non-normal crime of passion way did not sit well for me either. Tyler Perry needed to do more to convince us of that narrative.
Lolz the last part 😂 Firstly I'm glad you guys enjoyed this movie 😊, it definitely lives you thinking. I believe we can all agree that Melinda is crazy, and the sad part is Robert pushed her from her sanity (which was always on the edge) The way this movie is narrated, it makes you want to see M as the victim, and R as the bad guy. I like how you guys pointed that out, also while she was working two jobs, never once has he helped with the housework for 18 years?? That's just hard to believe, she made it sound like he never did anything, when we saw how this man was clean whilst living on his own. To me they both have red flags and shouldn't have been together, and why didn't she continue with university/college? She also could have changed courses and advanced her education. Truth is she was dependent on him for emotional support, love (not the healthy kind), and all along losing her self for this man, while he was with her for the financial support, basic needs, and I don't think he truly loved her the right way (sometimes love alone is not enough, he should have supported her with something). He honestly was living off her, without any guilt, shame or remorse 😅, maybe he was as we only have one part of the story. His love was based on the benefits he had from her, and that's why he felt the need to give back because he knew he owed her. Hear me out... Within the 18 years of them being together he payed back what he took and owed from her, while she gave what cannot be bought and that's why she wasn't happy with what she had from him. She gave herself, which unfortunately is not something you can easily get back. She broke his heart and he broke her. And on the video he made mentioning his wife, made me believe that he genuinely loved his wife, but he also didn't know how to do right by her because he was greedy. I think him being alone from 14 years made him this way, but he wasn't a little boy anymore, this was a grown man who was neglecting his wife and marriage. In life I think it's always good to have a dream and pursue it 😊, but losing yourself to it is a no no... He lost himself for this battery 🔋 Lolz and she lost herself for this man. Another thing that also stays in my mind (maybe it's the Christian in me 😅), but I believe that maybe this man was never going to succeed with her. It's like those people that date a guy for a decade without anything and then after dating within 10 months after moving on he gets married. Some things are just not meant to be 😅 What's sad is a lot of people are taking her side whereas she's not on the right, yes she went through a lot, and I agree with you she could have committed murder (first degree to be specific/ manslaughter). Actions have consequences, Lolz this is reminding me of Tyler Perry's temptations, confession of a marriage counselor. And I hope everyone has a lovely day and amazing festive season 🎄😊
First Congratulations for New Baby🎉 yay. (You are DEF going to need a break sleep whenever possible 😉) I'm am so glad you guys reviewed this movie, I went to see this movie with a group of girls when it came out, I was the ONLY one who 1, did NOT side with Melinda's character we all got into a huge loud debate over this film 🤭(I think it also is in part because My name is the same 🫣 and didn't want to identify with my name and the behavior 🤭. I agree 100 % on the observations you made with the exception of "F*CK Robert" ...when you MARRY someone or partner with someone you should ALREADY be WHOLE or close to it. Otherwise, we will see a lot of what happens in this film when you are not whole. Robert WASN'T perfect but closer to being WHOLE hence the ability to move forward and flourish. When you are already BROKEN, what do you have to give your person? we all know pain, maybe betrayal. Her therapy served 0 purposes and was just the POV used to tell her story, but THERAPY is NEEDED for any trauma. This was a movie, I get it, No where on earth would this ever happen 10M family home bought back ANNND you still NOT satisfied. Smh. I love someone mentioned siskel and Ebert because I loved them, glad to see the genre back with young fresh perspectives. While TP has had a great run of movies and love that for him, not sure how many more there are you guys have seen a good bit of them where I'm sure you notice themes, writing, and direction that could have used some comments and probably too polite to mention 🫶🏾 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, I always excited to see what you watched and your honest reactions (I hope they are🫣) I know sometimes editing & time may not allow for a 100% authentic reaction. You guys are the sweetest. Congrats again Michael on baby Boose!🎉🎉 P.S. when you guys do Best Man Holiday I want you two to be the ones to see it together 😉🫶🏾💪🏾
Her rage is totally valid. Not her insanity, but the rage is. He's trying to amount everything down to money. That's not going to give her 18 years of working 2 jobs while he was a deadbeat, loss of the family home, loss of the business, her uterus and all the sacrifices she made for him to slack off. He made all these future plans with her, then turns around, and does all of the future plans with someone else like a replacement. That set her off. It set her off even more that this was the girl he cheated on with before and then they're engaged, so she doesn't believe he was faithful during their marriage. She feels set up.
Exactly!! They are the best duo for any films in general, not just the black films. I like their reactions, their little comments during the films, their humor, their personalities together just hit differently man and they have great chemistry, it's really unmatched. They really bounce off of each other's energies effortlessly. This duo makes me feel like they are my buddies man😂
Personally I don’t wanna see any other duo do these reactions sorry I love everybody else but this duo is IT! So I would actually wait for Michael to get back from paternity leave! Baby comes first but I appreciate this duo. ✨

if he was dating anyone else I think Melinda would have been fine. but the fact that the girl he cheated on her with reaped all the benefits & got pregnant while she essentially only suffered with him and wasted her life after doing nothing but supporting & taking care of him. her crashing out was completely understandable & valid
This Part. That, AND The Fact That He Gave Diana Everything He Originally Promised Melinda. Nbs I Would've Crashed Out The Same Way If I Was In Her Position 😭 Then Again, If I Was In Her Position, I Would've Left Him After He Cheated On Me The First Time When We Were Young 🤷🏽♂️ It Would've Never Gotten As Far As It Did.
@TriniTingz its hard because when he was saying it, it was his dream too, so im empathetic to that, but damn it had to be the same apartment building, dude? Same ring? Same girl? It's like she laid the ground work for the girl she lost her uterus behind to swoop in when the going got good 😭
The same way Robert got so upset when he thought he wasted all those years when he received that restraining order against him is the same way Melinda got upset towards the end. Nothing can replace time wasted and you missing out on what could’ve been during all those years.
No cuz Robert could’ve took his invention elsewhere he just really wanted Prescott & Taraji could’ve took her love elsewhere she just wanted Robert it’s the same concept. Also Robert NEVER gave up on Prescott but taraji did give up on Robert that’s the difference between the two.
@@UnbiasedRemarks 10 million is nice and generous but that doesn’t turn back time and erase all the years she wasted taking care of his grown ass while he contributed nothing to the home or marriage. Paying ppl off when you do something harmful to them isn’t new and every person that takes the money say it doesn’t change anything about their feelings.
This movie is a rough one. It’s also a movie that has views split down the middle -between men and women. A man will never truly understand Melinda’s side. The truth is Robert was the true villain. Men will only think of the money aspect because men and women perceive time differently. Men think she doesn’t deserve anything cause she divorced him and he gave her money and her house back - but he took so much more from her than money. He took her time, his actions and hers took her womb, her belief in love, her belief in happy endings, her belief that if you do the right thing by the person you love they won’t leave you, her patience, her youth, he took ALL OF HER JOY. He took her for granted, took advantage, used her and then when he actually became successful after all the blood, sweat, and tears. He gave her up after she fought for him for 18 years. It was his time to fight and he NEVER showed up to the battle. He simply moved on. Men will never understand the true depth of this movie.
All of this. While I don't condone her actions, I understand her anger and pain. Years wasted on a man who so quickly gives you up while he benefits off the sacrifices you made. The hysterectomy alone is enough to sympathize with her as a woman!
@ Exactly! If you want to know how simple minded and shallow hearted a man is show him this movie. They will say Robert was a good guy who did right by her every time. This man is a vampire.
This was one of Tyler’s first adventures into a thriller. I would argue Robert is not really a great guy. Yes he paid everything back but it doesn’t fully take away the pain and the damage it caused in that moment. It doesn’t take away him not stepping up throughout their marriage cause you don’t get that time back. I think we often think a big thing has to happen to make someone evil. But in reality it’s mostly build up over time. However I do think it’s great he paid them back. It just doesn’t take all the pain away but it does dampen the blow. And Melinda took things way too far. I’m so happy for Michael congratulations on being a Dad
I know cheating as a YOUNG man was wrong and SHE spent money and worked hard for him but SHE stayed when she couldve been left but SHE waited until just before he hit it big to leave😂and then SHE went crazy and shot him and then SHE killed herself in mist of it all. Dont u see? Its all about accountability (bars)
@JeffSNIPErs no one is refuting that she could have left way before then. Love make you do crazy things. She believed in him that's why she stayed. We also can't reduce he played a part in her mental collapse.
She should have left him as soon as he cheated on her. The rest of the relationship being bad was all on her. Choose yourself, always, God will take care of the rest.
People really tend to not factor in the years on years of mental abuse tarajis character went through. Over a decade of it. Then to move on with the girl that you cheated on her with years ago. Is just the nail in the coffin I think that would’ve broke anyone. 10 million or not time is completely different.
Yup and shes holding on through the disappointment while her family is telling her to not deal with him, to finally reach a final straw and then he finally got his shit together.
@gifi11 With 10 million and my mother's house, I would've felt a way, but I could've moved on with life. A vacation, start a small business, there are so many options.
The fact that he gave the 2nd wife the exact same dream he pitched the 1st shows how he never loved her. Robert had a dream like that he wanted. The woman didn't really matter it. His fantasies and promises for his wife was a one size fits all. Robert didn't care for her at all
@@gjjijjiThat's not what this person is saying. They are saying that he didn't have dreams for them both. He had dreams just got them. He played it like it was for them to grow, but it was ONLY about his desires.
@@DevelopingCharacterit was for them until it wasn’t. She divorced him, he tried to get her back and she said they would never get back together on 3 different occasions, so whatever he decides to do with the next woman shouldn’t matter
I'll start by saying y'all are my faves. Congrats on Baby Boose, Michael! Love y'all and can't wait to see you guys back again as a duo. Now... my critique of the film (or your take on it): It's kinda hard to say "He was a good guy." From a female perspective, a good guy would have recognized that he broke her into what she became and sent their marriage into a divorce. He only started to be a "good guy" when he got money. Even when he knew her sister's business was on the line, he only thought of himself. He neglected her and their marriage long before his happiness=money, while she was happy even when he was draining her of it... And instead of him making it and delivering on 18+ years of empty promises even after they've divorced and made even 1 attempt to try to work on their broken marriage... he made it, gave her a check for her 'troubles' (no matter the sum) and then married someone else right away. Taraji was definitely crazy and needed to be on meds because her reaction was out of bounds. But... him. No, not a good guy. A good guy would have been more considerate of his actions from the jump. He can try to be a good guy moving forward and in the future but he wasn't a good guy to her.
True that. Good people don't manipulate. Heck, he never asked her about her dreams BEFORE he came into her life, much less help her achieve her dream. It was about his dream. Nothing else mattered.
Both of them are crazy. That's my perspective. She is crazy for her reaction and staying with a guy who didn't appreciate her and what she did for him. He is crazy for even going out with her at the start when she overreacted in the rain. Not to mention his obsession on working on his passion without any regard for her or anyone else around him. Heck I don't even think he has any regard for himself
ACRIMONY IS VERY GOOD. I WANNA BE SELFISH AND SAY DON'T TAKE A BREAK 😂 CONGRATS MICHAEL ON FATHERHOOD MAN WE'RE ALL HAPPY FOR YOU AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR LOVING OUR CULTURE AND CONTINUING THESE FILMS. HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS REVIEW BEST HOLIDAY AND MORE TYLER PERRY MOVIES NEXT MONTH. LOVE YOU GUYS. ❤
For whatever Robert reason is I can understand Melinda’s rage. She literally carried the load of his dreams for 18 years with the promise of a life that never came to be. In addition he then gets into a relationship and marries the same woman he initially cheated on her with when they were young so how could she take his “I never cheated” as truth. I applaud Taraji in her performance right after the time jump you can literally feel the exhaustion on her. 10 million is a lot but I get the rage she had and why she felt that it wasn’t enough.
Dude isn't perfect and he made mistakes but that promise he made would of came true for her had she stuck by him. She betted on herself and lost, that's her fault.
And time is something you cannot get back as well as her losing her reproductive system in a hysterectomy. 10 Mil is not enough, but was a good start. She wanted him to prove it. And also look how hard he fought for his invention. And if she didn’t believe in him, provide for him for over 10 years and support him, he would not have been able to prefect his idea. You see when he didn’t have that support he stopped working on his project. He didn’t even have a phone or home. That makes a difference in someone achieving his success.
@@treythegem1334she stuck by him for 18 yrs that’s more than enough sticking. She gave everything up for him and he made her family lose their business, you would be tired too
It wouldn't have come through if they were still together. The lady started really pushing for him to get through with Preston because she took him in, and they became involved shortly after. Had she kept him after he rejected the $800,000 I doubt he would've been reconsidered. And they would've been without the house, and both of them homeless. The issue was she loved that man, and he made that marriage loveless. He stopped hugging her, no intimacy, no nothing, just 18 years gone down the drain and she was tired. Her choosing to divorce him wasn't the issue. It wasn't about the money, she just wanted him to pick up his slack. But the moment he gets his big break, he already chose to give it all to somebody else even though she spent 18 years standing by him through all his hell. The 10mil wasn't enough because she loved him, and wanted him along with everything else, but he gave it to the girl he told her she didn't have to worry about anymore. I'm not saying that her insanity was justified, but I am definitely saying I could understand her rage.
@@treythegem1334that’s easy to say in hindsight when u know the being of the movie but imagine being in debt and your house being foreclosed on and getting ready to be homeless while your husband is unemployed.
Hey, so in case the intro was at all confusing, there are other videos with Michael and I coming this month. Acrimony is just the last one we shot together for 2024. We shot two other reactions before Acrimony. I just moved the release dates of the other videos around for logistical reasons. I don't actually know how many Tyler Perry reactions Achara and I would do realistically, given we have the holidays coming up. Most of what you'll see coming out on the channel for the remainder of the year was shot a while ago in preparation for December (including the remaining Tyler Perry reactions with Michael and I for 2024). We will try our best to keep it going uninterrupted into the new year!
I think people don’t realize is the money doesn’t make up for the manipulation & mental/emotional abuse that Melinda went through since essentially the beginning. The car. Helping his pay for his degree that he didn’t/couldn’t even use. Taking care of them both for literal decades and footing the bill for his dreams and all the came along with it . The money also cannot replace what she lost. She lost her ability to have kids, her youth, her mother’s home (even if she did get it back later). She sacrificed so much and I’d argue that he didn’t go through nearly as much as he put Melinda through. He was in his soft girl era if we’re being honest. Melinda set him up for success and he constantly left her high and dry, especially when she began to get fed up and made him start pulling his weight. She built him up just for him to 1. Get back with the woman he cheated on her for all those years ago and 2. Give her all the things he promised Melinda, including a child. It’s like a slap in the face so I can understand her rage.
@@gifi11because she was dumb and in-love eventually she was heartbroken when she thought he cheated and finally snapped back to reality at the worse fucking moment. I would’ve never spent any of that money on him, I would’ve stayed single and financially stabled with the money her mother had left her.
@@gifi11because she was a fool that was in love and saw his potential instead of who he showed himself to be. She didn’t wanna turn her back on him and wanted to support him like society says women should do with their mate. & when you’re young & you become bound to a person, and they’re all you know, it’s harder to let them go. It happens everyday🤷🏾♀️ I wouldn’t have stuck it out that long personally.
@alexist7772 harder, of course. Life is hard. You don't stop doing things that are right or best for you because it is hard lol if someone abuses you, they are in the wrong, and that sucks. At some point, you have to look in the mirror and ask one self, why am I letting myself be abused. Anything else is an excuse.
He took her youth, her chance for kids, and wasted her life. Yes, she got the money but she doesn't know that he wasn't cheating on her with Diana (?) The entire time. It's like he used her to support himself and his dreams then gave the life that they worked so hard for to the same woman who he cheated on her with. And that woman looks good, like she hasn't been working two jobs for 18 years and she gets pregnant. It's bullcrap. Now, personally, I would have used the money to buy the life I always wanted and adopt a kid. She went too crazy when it came to the acid, lawsuit, and boat.
She gave her youth. She the reason she can't have any kids. She wasted her own life. She literally had a choice. She gave up and quit . You can't be mad at him for action. You can be mad for him neglecting his duties as a partner but nothing else.
@@LyricalIAmeverything is true but his actions. You can be mad at someone for his actions because it was foul. She should have left especially when she has family that cares and told her to leave.
I think Diana left her wallet in his truck on purpose, after he told her about his invention she saw dollar signs, and decided to conveniently leave her wallet for his wife to see 😅😅😅😅
Robert may not have cheated but he was not committed to the marriage either, he was committed to the battery. Melinda also wanted him more than she wanted the money cause even after they divorced she was thinking of Robert. Money is also not going to make up for Melinda's emotional and exhausted state for the last 18 years. Robert may not have been a bad guy but he definitely was a bad husband.
To be fair, I do understand Melinda's rage😅lol. Robert Gayle did take some of the best years of her life. On top of adding all of the stress from the bills and struggle from him not working over the years (almost 2 decades), and just the pure waste of her youth that she gave to him. Of course she didn't know he was going to hit it big decades later, but I think the fact that he was inconsiderately flaunting the new girl, Diana (the same one she caught him with, years before) in her face, kind of made her rage understandable.
Not to mention he used his manipulation on her when they were younger. For example, by getting her to get an almost $30,000 car for him, when he just needed a simple one to get from point A to point B.
Yall are nuts lol. Nobody made this woman stay. She could have divorced him long ago like she eventually did. If she would have left, he could have found the more supportive girl and probably would have hit even quicker lol. Woman got 10 times the amount she spent lol. Yall are insane.
Better not do best man holiday without him 😤😤😤 both of you have chemistry that I really really enjoy 🥺😭 Congratulations Michael!!! Enjoy your time with baby and mama.
as someone who just went through this (was in a relationship with a BUM who had no job and no money and i had to support him and soon as he got a job he blocked me. all i got from him was a one time with a used hole, headache, heartache, hospital bills, stress and a loss of sanity) this movie has never been more relatable. i loved it the first two times cause i know myself well and know i would go CRRRRRRRRRRRRRAZY over a man using me, it hits different after actually being there. great film and acting by taraji. yeah it drags in bits but boy does it deliver.
I'm not trying to be passive aggressive here, just really love discourse over this film (I'm all over this comment section lol), but genuinely what do you think led her to divorcing him? Cuz she didn't just get up and decide on a whim, that was 18 years of her sticking beside him...@@gifi11
Switch genders and genders only. Situations the same. You wouldn’t be saying that and you would be calling him a monster and that she didn’t deserve all of that…. Guaranteed. (The movie)
This movie is very conflicting for me. I get her anger, and the thing is, she was still so angry because it wasn't just about the money she spent trying to help him out for 18 years. He did alot of emotional and mental damage. And she wanted her life with him. Now she had to see him be with the woman he cheated on her with, and she gets to reap all the rewards without any of the time put in. I'd be furious too. But I will also say he was a decent enough man to pay her back.
@@theSoc1alScientist i really hope they do that next and then i hope they are done with Tyler Perry and do some of the other black classics people have been suggesting. Set it off and Love and basketball were such good reactions I want them to see more
I guess this movie is one of those things where money can not make up for time lost. And I guess the peace of mind you lose in the process. Edit:Can yall blame her for not believing in him at some point? Like, dude didn't even want to help himself with his own dream. And imo dude was a bad guy just not in the way taraji was. Like he was not good husband to the main person who supported him. He didnt deserve to get shot but the build up to that happening was very clear to see.
There are other videos coming - this is just the last one we shot. I mixed up the order for release to give editors more time on one video and put the other one Michael and I shot closer to the holiday.
@@CinePalsmaybe take a vote because as much as i love these reactions, I'm willing to wait for Michael if he's coming back the first of the year. You 2 have a chemistry together and with these movies. I understand when one of your have seen the movie then adding someone else but if it's a first watch I rather have you 2. It just works. 😊
As a woman she cause herself not to have kids. She tried murdering then for cheating and rather got the short end of the stick. She should have just left him rather than trying to kill them first cheating and losing her womb in the process. Her Anger issues is her downfall
They are the best duo for any films in general, not just the black films. I like their reactions, their little funny, twisted, cute random comments during the films, their humor, their personalities together just hit differently man and they have great chemistry, it's really unmatched. They really bounce off of each other's energies so effortlessly. This duo makes me feel like they are my buddies man😂 It sure won't be the same😢 Congratulations Michael ❤🎉
Robert was so manipulative. When he returned the wallet Diana asked him if he stole it. When he went home to Melinda he told her that Diana climbed into the truck because her dad used to drive and left her wallet.
After watching this movie for the 100th time, I started to question if Diane's motives was pure. Hear me out... It was 100% nice of her to have coffee with Robert and even put in the word to Prescott for his prototype and even giving him 75 million, but some things are a bit questionable. After coffee, somehow her wallet ends up in the truck? Knowing their history, this can be a way to stir up jealousy within Melinda and Roberts relationship. Then, after the divorce you go and get him and invest in him??? Yes Diane recognized the value of this invention, and invested in it before anyone else would. Its almost like she was gathering progress from Roberts prototype, while recognizing the value of it and waiting for the right time to act. Almost like she can come in and close the deal when the invention was ready, which would explain her reappearance and willingness to invest. Idk idk something just isn't right. The whole incident is just truly unfortunate.
This movie had us shook! Tyler Perry shot this in just 7 days because Taraji was still doing "Empire" and she only had a week before her shooting for Empire was about to start. Tyler is a genius is should be regarded more. Madia is just one aspect of his portfolio and folks act like all of his movies are Madia movies.
Michaelllll!!! Congrats on the baby girl - you’re gonna love being a Daddy, girl dads are awesome!!! Thanks for listening to us and yes Taraji is a phenomenon please give us What’s Love Got to Do With It, Waiting to Exhale, Boomerang, Temptations and the Five Heartbeats to name a few when you return…you guys are top tier! ❤
This film actually did have potential. The beginning monologue and the ones throughout the film are fantastic and full of vitriol. Tyler Perry is great when it comes to insults. I do love it in the last quarter where Melinda displays real-life stalking antics. It was very effective for me. I saw a Tyler Perry interview where he was inspired by friends/couples coming up to him and others and their stories didn't all line up. Showing that their stories don't line up because they are seeing and explaining it through their point of view. I expected to get Melinda's point of view vs. reality, but we never get that. That would have been great. It didn't have to be Melinda was crazy and a liar, it could have been a mix of things. Also, Tyler Perry made the movie in eight days.
Exactly!! They are the best duo for any films in general, not just the black films. I like their reactions, their little comments during the films, their humor, their personalities together just hit differently man and they have great chemistry, it's really unmatched. They really bounce off of each other's energies effortlessly. This duo makes me feel like they are my buddies man😂 It dye wine be the same😢
The thing that always stands out to me about this movie is that the dream that Robert sells both women is not even their dreams. It’s his dream. The penthouse apt, boat, ring… I wanted a moment for Melinda to find her mind…to take a moment to breathe and realize, “I never wanted any of these things” and to accept the money and realize what the $10M affords her and happily move on with her life.
"Today on the 6pm news, a car chase through downtown Chi-ca-landa, New York!"😂😂😂 Michael, you had me HOLLERING 😂😂Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your baby!!
She did everything for him for more than 18Years. Now his doing everything for a lady he cheated on her with😭😭 I'd go crazy too. She divorced him because she thought he was cheating. How was her wallet in the truck??? If y'all's spouse had someone's wallet he/she cheated u on with before, would you be like "Oh, that's ok🥰"???Like, NO. Did she go overboard..YES, but I'd absolutely be angry to see my ex husband be with someone he cheated on me with before and treating her better than he treated me💔😭
I remember the first time I saw this movie and it triggered my anger so much, not because I had been through any of that but because I could see myself going through all of those emotions. Then the scene with the therapist came on and I realized why I saw myself in Melinda was because I too have borderline personality disorder. I forgot about the therapist saying that. It all makes so much sense on why this movie triggers my emotions so much.
Aww congratulations!! 👣🎊 but also 😢 as this is my absolute favorite duo. But what a blessing it is to have an opportunity to take time off as you adjust to your precious new addition. 🙏🏾
"WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT" NEXT PLEASEEEEEE also Congrats Michael enjoy your baby girl she will have you wrapped around her finger trust im a daddy's girl lol you'll melt. ❤
@@geometro9598nah even tho they both did foul things they were both victims, her sisters the new wife and her friend were the real ones that were in he wrong
This was a recommendation of mine! Glad ya’ll watched. Melinda was too drained and damaged by the relationship to be saved by his fortune. That’s a very deep level of pain. I saw this in theaters and felt Taraji’s wrath performance in my bones for those psychiatry scenes. She’s so damn good!
30:28 I’m glad someone said it. I hate when certain characters in film and tv shows are jacked or “ripped” with no explanation. As someone who frequently works out, you need at least a few months to years of consistent lifting to get some of these physiques. But some characters will be huge but do nothing but sleep on the couch all day
@@LyricalIAmmy family is the exact same. We are all very naturally built people. The women in my family have no stomachs, big thighs and broad shoulders. The men are built like solid rocks, we are country so I guess you could say we are country strong 😂
God, I was waiting for this reaction. I'm now satisfied. I love this movie so much. Taranji P. Henson was so magnificent in this movie. Absolutely batshit. When I saw this in theaters, I was on the edge of my seat. After she ran her car into his trailer, then sat in discontented silence for 18 years, I was waiting for her to explode and I was scared. Love this movie!
Okay so I’m not crazy for thinking that. She had a strong feeling that battery would hit and started planting seeds. As soon as Melinda kicked him out and divorced him, she was in there. Ain’t no smart woman getting with a man with a low-wage job, and fresh out a divorce, unless there was something in it for her.
These two have a lot of emotional intelligence and understanding with Blk cinema. They don’t easily get offended nor instantly uncomfortable. They try to understand and not become dismissive of everything that involves race.
Was sooooo excited to see y’all reacted to this. Watched it immediately. I felt for both characters throughout this film, great movie. Taraji is easily in my top 3 favorite female actors, I feel and believe every character she plays👏🏾
Congratulations Michael 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You guys are the perfect duo reacting to Black cinema ❤ I will wait for Michael’s return to watch , I can’t imagine anyone else
You gotta think about it! She gave 18 years of her life, gave up her college, and everything for him. 10 million doesn’t even account for the amount of time she lost fighting and working for him.
Oh my gosh, in the new year I recommend you both watch "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor". You haven't seen dark until you seen that movie. It's all over the damn place but it's entertaining as hell
You guys picked a hell of a flick to close out on! Soo many more out there bro. Best Man Holiday, Menace to Society, Higher Learning! The rabbit hole goes much deeper
The crazy can be like a flip of the switch. You won't know what happened until you come back to the calm. The crazy can be a slow burn , a build-up, and then a snap. There is no coming back from the second one. You try to fight the crazy because from previous blow ups, your life gets ruined. You're in serious trouble.
This film is one of the most debatable movies of all time. They're both wrong and they're both right. If she didn't believe in him, she wouldn't give up everything for him. She let her rage get the better of her but he was dead wrong for doing the exact same things he promised her for his new wife. That ticked her off.
congrats on the baby Michael! take as much time as you need to enjoy your new blessing, we’ll still be here. 😭❤️ I think you guys should react to “A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” with Martin Lawrence & Lynn Whitfield.
"Guys who cheat ALWAYS have a girl they come back to and cheat again then come back". That hit me hard. 😭 I was in a 4-5 year relationship with a guy I loved so much who did this to me and hurt me badly. I'm to blame for loving him so much I kept taking him back. Been single for 5 years now cz I'm NEVER going through any of that again. Dang!!!
So glad y'all finally watched this one. I think it's wild that you guys really sat there and said driving your vehicle into a trailer...twice and then throwing a brick thru a car window isn't CRAZY!!!
Comments have been interesting on this one and have definitely opened my eyes to some interesting ideas and perspectives on this one that we missed while watching it.
Please please please don't be mad 😅😅😅 I'm gonna do my best to navigate a response to this. Firstly, I'm walking back on saying Robert was a good dude, at least not the entire time. This isn't black and white but very gray. A better statement from me would have been that what he did after the fact was good. It was truly a solid move. Does it give her back the 18 years she gave him? Not even close. But I still think the gesture is very meaningful especially considering the circumstances (don't attack me yet, let me get through this 😅😅😅😅😅). Melinda, justifiably, wanted a divorce. She wanted him out. Robert begged to stay and she wasn't having it. As far as Robert understood, Melinda wanted nothing to do with him ever again. Following this, he was literally homeless, living out of a shelter and just barely surviving. At divorce court, Robert still tried to work it out with her, but she stuck to her guns and said no (again, this is totally understandable - not faulting her at all). It wasn't until Diana gave Robert a place to stay and helped him work out a better deal that things turned around for him.
When he turned up at Melinda's office, she made it abundantly clear to him even then that she had zero interest in getting back together with him (again, justified, understandable). He respected this and was asking for nothing. He gave her a check for more money than most people will ever earn in a life time and her family house. Again, this doesn't give her back those 18 years of sacrifice, but it's a big move he could have just as easily not done and it would have been legally impossible to sue him (at least as outlined by the movie). It's also a lot more money than they would have had together had he taken the initial offer of less than a million dollars (which is what she would have preferred at the time).
Keeping in mind Robert's selfish approach to their mutual survival and just the overall health of his marriage: in his obsessive mind, he genuinely believed in what he was doing with blinders and he believed it would take them to new heights. He didn't cheat again and was squarely focused on the "golden goose" for both of them. He obsession blinded him from his wife's needs, his marriage and responsibilities. She also made the choice to stay through all that rather than leave sooner. So... please forgive me for those of you who hardcore side with Melinda... but I say this is on both of them. She stayed either because she was extremely loyal, she felt she was in too deep to ever leave (she never wanted her family to know) or had some kind of gambler's fallacy. Whatever the reason was, she stayed. He also made the choice to ignore all the obvious signs his wife was very unhappy and needed actual help along the way. He put Melinda through a lot in this regard.
Ultimately, both characters took actions that were harmful. While I understand Melinda's rage when she discovered what Robert was up to right after she got him that car (and it's very easy to understand where she's coming from), she chose to drive her jeep into his trailer. Legally, she would be held 100% accountable for that event. Not her partner who cheated right after generously being given a means of transportation. What he did was SUPER messed up. And what she did could have killed both Robert and Diana. Cheating is wrong, but murder is definitely not the move - refusing to speak to him ever again is the move. Her bodily damage in that car accident was symbolic and foreshadowing. She could have driven away in that moment but chose to try and hurt Robert and Diana, but only hurt herself but taking such an action. This is what gets her in the end.
The insane success Robert found came after Melinda made it abundantly clear their marriage was beyond over, after he was homeless and after he was rescued by Diana. If it wasn't for Melinda, Robert would have never been able to reach the first offer of almost 1 million dollars. And if it wasn't for Diana, Robert would have never been able to get the insane deal so he could gift Melinda the 10 million dollars and the house. She wasn't going to get the 18 years back, but she was given an opportunity most people don't get: a chance to start over without the need to work ever again. Whoever Robert moved on with was his business following Melinda's adamance that their marriage was over. It obviously is a big reason to hurt, seeing the person you were with go back with someone they cheated on you with, but he has that freedom to pursue that since he was divorced.
I get her rage and I get why those of you siding with Melinda hard core do. And I think the film is meant to be cautionary tale advising the audience members who are going through a tough time: learn to let go. This is a lesson I have struggled with and it's REALLY hard to get through that. Seeing the comments and the discussion this film has invited has made me appreciate this film even more. There is even more to extract from Acrimony than I expected upon initial viewing. It really makes you think and reflect.
And lastly, to any possible future Mrs. Koay that might be reading this... Melinda was absolutely right, fuck Robert. 🤣
That last paragraph 😂😂❤❤❤
Hahaha att Mrs. Koay. I saw this before I started my long response and this addressed almost all my concerns. The reason I believe it was extra painful that he moved on with Diana is because that event (caused by her rage) is what took away her ability to have children. So that pain for a woman plus the 18 years is enough to drive any human insane. Another reason for me as you guys explore in your commentary why the whole idea of her being crazy in a non-normal crime of passion way did not sit well for me either. Tyler Perry needed to do more to convince us of that narrative.
@@tengigeorge-ikoli3688 what do you mean non normal crime
Lolz the last part 😂
Firstly I'm glad you guys enjoyed this movie 😊, it definitely lives you thinking. I believe we can all agree that Melinda is crazy, and the sad part is Robert pushed her from her sanity (which was always on the edge)
The way this movie is narrated, it makes you want to see M as the victim, and R as the bad guy. I like how you guys pointed that out, also while she was working two jobs, never once has he helped with the housework for 18 years?? That's just hard to believe, she made it sound like he never did anything, when we saw how this man was clean whilst living on his own. To me they both have red flags and shouldn't have been together, and why didn't she continue with university/college? She also could have changed courses and advanced her education.
Truth is she was dependent on him for emotional support, love (not the healthy kind), and all along losing her self for this man, while he was with her for the financial support, basic needs, and I don't think he truly loved her the right way (sometimes love alone is not enough, he should have supported her with something). He honestly was living off her, without any guilt, shame or remorse 😅, maybe he was as we only have one part of the story. His love was based on the benefits he had from her, and that's why he felt the need to give back because he knew he owed her.
Hear me out... Within the 18 years of them being together he payed back what he took and owed from her, while she gave what cannot be bought and that's why she wasn't happy with what she had from him. She gave herself, which unfortunately is not something you can easily get back. She broke his heart and he broke her.
And on the video he made mentioning his wife, made me believe that he genuinely loved his wife, but he also didn't know how to do right by her because he was greedy. I think him being alone from 14 years made him this way, but he wasn't a little boy anymore, this was a grown man who was neglecting his wife and marriage.
In life I think it's always good to have a dream and pursue it 😊, but losing yourself to it is a no no... He lost himself for this battery 🔋 Lolz and she lost herself for this man. Another thing that also stays in my mind (maybe it's the Christian in me 😅), but I believe that maybe this man was never going to succeed with her. It's like those people that date a guy for a decade without anything and then after dating within 10 months after moving on he gets married. Some things are just not meant to be 😅
What's sad is a lot of people are taking her side whereas she's not on the right, yes she went through a lot, and I agree with you she could have committed murder (first degree to be specific/ manslaughter). Actions have consequences, Lolz this is reminding me of Tyler Perry's temptations, confession of a marriage counselor.
And I hope everyone has a lovely day and amazing festive season 🎄😊
First Congratulations for New Baby🎉 yay. (You are DEF going to need a break sleep whenever possible 😉) I'm am so glad you guys reviewed this movie, I went to see this movie with a group of girls when it came out, I was the ONLY one who 1, did NOT side with Melinda's character we all got into a huge loud debate over this film 🤭(I think it also is in part because My name is the same 🫣 and didn't want to identify with my name and the behavior 🤭. I agree 100 % on the observations you made with the exception of "F*CK Robert" ...when you MARRY someone or partner with someone you should ALREADY be WHOLE or close to it. Otherwise, we will see a lot of what happens in this film when you are not whole. Robert WASN'T perfect but closer to being WHOLE hence the ability to move forward and flourish. When you are already BROKEN, what do you have to give your person? we all know pain, maybe betrayal. Her therapy served 0 purposes and was just the POV used to tell her story, but THERAPY is NEEDED for any trauma. This was a movie, I get it, No where on earth would this ever happen 10M family home bought back ANNND you still NOT satisfied. Smh. I love someone mentioned siskel and Ebert because I loved them, glad to see the genre back with young fresh perspectives. While TP has had a great run of movies and love that for him, not sure how many more there are you guys have seen a good bit of them where I'm sure you notice themes, writing, and direction that could have used some comments and probably too polite to mention 🫶🏾 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, I always excited to see what you watched and your honest reactions (I hope they are🫣) I know sometimes editing & time may not allow for a 100% authentic reaction. You guys are the sweetest. Congrats again Michael on baby Boose!🎉🎉
P.S. when you guys do Best Man Holiday I want you two to be the ones to see it together 😉🫶🏾💪🏾
I give props to Taraji! She plays crazy so well😂
It's all in her eyes. Lynn Whitfield is another amazing Actress who draws you in with her eyes when she plays a dramatic role.
@@CoriJohnson-p2fgreat example! The movies she’s played crazy in are arguably her best imo. Nobody does “absolutely bonkers” like these two.
She was already Cookie bf Empire.
Her rage is totally valid. Not her insanity, but the rage is. He's trying to amount everything down to money. That's not going to give her 18 years of working 2 jobs while he was a deadbeat, loss of the family home, loss of the business, her uterus and all the sacrifices she made for him to slack off. He made all these future plans with her, then turns around, and does all of the future plans with someone else like a replacement. That set her off. It set her off even more that this was the girl he cheated on with before and then they're engaged, so she doesn't believe he was faithful during their marriage. She feels set up.
🎯🎯🎯 Well said!
Perfectly said!!
And the new wife being pregnant while she had to have a hysterectomy!
Spot On!!!
Sure her rage is valid. Ther3s nothing he could've done to alleviate that. Thats tough
You two are my fav duo😢. Congrats on your sweet bundle of joy Michael!!!.
Exactly!! They are the best duo for any films in general, not just the black films. I like their reactions, their little comments during the films, their humor, their personalities together just hit differently man and they have great chemistry, it's really unmatched. They really bounce off of each other's energies effortlessly. This duo makes me feel like they are my buddies man😂
I love how the girl that played the younger version of taraji on here played the younger version of her on empire too
Oh yes I know right! The actress is named Ajiona Alexus
I know someone who is that girls Doppelgänger!
Ohhhh TRUUUU
@@mjpink8408 Yes , I also like when she played in the Mary J two part series recently. It was really good.
She also played on BMF
Personally I don’t wanna see any other duo do these reactions sorry I love everybody else but this duo is IT! So I would actually wait for Michael to get back from paternity leave! Baby comes first but I appreciate this duo. ✨
Right it simply won't be the same but we have to support Jaby is making sure we keep getting these reactions.
This is where I'm at. These two guys are 100% the best at hitting with the black films.
Agree agree agree agree agree ❤❤😂

I agree 100%!!
if he was dating anyone else I think Melinda would have been fine. but the fact that the girl he cheated on her with reaped all the benefits & got pregnant while she essentially only suffered with him and wasted her life after doing nothing but supporting & taking care of him. her crashing out was completely understandable & valid
This Part. That, AND The Fact That He Gave Diana Everything He Originally Promised Melinda. Nbs I Would've Crashed Out The Same Way If I Was In Her Position 😭 Then Again, If I Was In Her Position, I Would've Left Him After He Cheated On Me The First Time When We Were Young 🤷🏽♂️ It Would've Never Gotten As Far As It Did.
This i understand 🤷🏾♀️
@TriniTingz thats the answer to it all it was her fault
@TriniTingz its hard because when he was saying it, it was his dream too, so im empathetic to that, but damn it had to be the same apartment building, dude? Same ring? Same girl? It's like she laid the ground work for the girl she lost her uterus behind to swoop in when the going got good 😭
But you can't expect people to accept what you were wiling to accept🤷🏿♀️
The same way Robert got so upset when he thought he wasted all those years when he received that restraining order against him is the same way Melinda got upset towards the end. Nothing can replace time wasted and you missing out on what could’ve been during all those years.
No cuz Robert could’ve took his invention elsewhere he just really wanted Prescott & Taraji could’ve took her love elsewhere she just wanted Robert it’s the same concept. Also Robert NEVER gave up on Prescott but taraji did give up on Robert that’s the difference between the two.
He gave her 10 million and her moms house
i would rather get 20 years than 10 million
@@UnbiasedRemarks They operate off emotions, logic is pretty much common sense & most of them don’t have it thts why she loses in the end 😂
@@UnbiasedRemarks 10 million is nice and generous but that doesn’t turn back time and erase all the years she wasted taking care of his grown ass while he contributed nothing to the home or marriage. Paying ppl off when you do something harmful to them isn’t new and every person that takes the money say it doesn’t change anything about their feelings.
This movie is a rough one. It’s also a movie that has views split down the middle -between men and women. A man will never truly understand Melinda’s side. The truth is Robert was the true villain. Men will only think of the money aspect because men and women perceive time differently. Men think she doesn’t deserve anything cause she divorced him and he gave her money and her house back - but he took so much more from her than money. He took her time, his actions and hers took her womb, her belief in love, her belief in happy endings, her belief that if you do the right thing by the person you love they won’t leave you, her patience, her youth, he took ALL OF HER JOY. He took her for granted, took advantage, used her and then when he actually became successful after all the blood, sweat, and tears. He gave her up after she fought for him for 18 years. It was his time to fight and he NEVER showed up to the battle. He simply moved on. Men will never understand the true depth of this movie.
All of this. While I don't condone her actions, I understand her anger and pain. Years wasted on a man who so quickly gives you up while he benefits off the sacrifices you made. The hysterectomy alone is enough to sympathize with her as a woman!
Exactly!
Should've listened to the sisters and left but hey 🤷🏾♂️
@@Yun6Frayser That’s so easy to say when observing. It very human to stay even when the situation is toxic. He was her family.
@ Exactly! If you want to know how simple minded and shallow hearted a man is show him this movie. They will say Robert was a good guy who did right by her every time. This man is a vampire.
This was one of Tyler’s first adventures into a thriller. I would argue Robert is not really a great guy. Yes he paid everything back but it doesn’t fully take away the pain and the damage it caused in that moment. It doesn’t take away him not stepping up throughout their marriage cause you don’t get that time back. I think we often think a big thing has to happen to make someone evil. But in reality it’s mostly build up over time. However I do think it’s great he paid them back. It just doesn’t take all the pain away but it does dampen the blow. And Melinda took things way too far.
I’m so happy for Michael congratulations on being a Dad
Well said! ♥️
@@TheKittsPajamasI definitely agree
I know cheating as a YOUNG man was wrong and SHE spent money and worked hard for him but SHE stayed when she couldve been left but SHE waited until just before he hit it big to leave😂and then SHE went crazy and shot him and then SHE killed herself in mist of it all. Dont u see? Its all about accountability (bars)
@JeffSNIPErs no one is refuting that she could have left way before then. Love make you do crazy things. She believed in him that's why she stayed. We also can't reduce he played a part in her mental collapse.
She should have left him as soon as he cheated on her. The rest of the relationship being bad was all on her. Choose yourself, always, God will take care of the rest.
People really tend to not factor in the years on years of mental abuse tarajis character went through. Over a decade of it. Then to move on with the girl that you cheated on her with years ago. Is just the nail in the coffin I think that would’ve broke anyone. 10 million or not time is completely different.
Yup and shes holding on through the disappointment while her family is telling her to not deal with him, to finally reach a final straw and then he finally got his shit together.
Yeah right. Give me the 10 million, I would have been more than fine.
@gifi11 With 10 million and my mother's house, I would've felt a way, but I could've moved on with life. A vacation, start a small business, there are so many options.
Yeah...she got 10 million dollars she wouldn't have made in her lifetime.
Get over it.
@@whip1720 exactly
The fact that he gave the 2nd wife the exact same dream he pitched the 1st shows how he never loved her. Robert had a dream like that he wanted. The woman didn't really matter it. His fantasies and promises for his wife was a one size fits all. Robert didn't care for her at all
Was Robert not entitled to live his life after the divorce
@@gjjijjiThat's not what this person is saying. They are saying that he didn't have dreams for them both. He had dreams just got them. He played it like it was for them to grow, but it was ONLY about his desires.
THIS!!! Those dreams were never about Melinda - they were about him & whatever woman happened to be there was inconsequential.
🎯🎯🎯
@@DevelopingCharacterit was for them until it wasn’t. She divorced him, he tried to get her back and she said they would never get back together on 3 different occasions, so whatever he decides to do with the next woman shouldn’t matter
I'll start by saying y'all are my faves. Congrats on Baby Boose, Michael! Love y'all and can't wait to see you guys back again as a duo.
Now... my critique of the film (or your take on it): It's kinda hard to say "He was a good guy." From a female perspective, a good guy would have recognized that he broke her into what she became and sent their marriage into a divorce. He only started to be a "good guy" when he got money. Even when he knew her sister's business was on the line, he only thought of himself. He neglected her and their marriage long before his happiness=money, while she was happy even when he was draining her of it... And instead of him making it and delivering on 18+ years of empty promises even after they've divorced and made even 1 attempt to try to work on their broken marriage... he made it, gave her a check for her 'troubles' (no matter the sum) and then married someone else right away.
Taraji was definitely crazy and needed to be on meds because her reaction was out of bounds. But... him. No, not a good guy. A good guy would have been more considerate of his actions from the jump. He can try to be a good guy moving forward and in the future but he wasn't a good guy to her.
I’ll take that. Your perspective makes sense to me. Thank you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Well said!
True that. Good people don't manipulate. Heck, he never asked her about her dreams BEFORE he came into her life, much less help her achieve her dream. It was about his dream. Nothing else mattered.
Both of them are crazy. That's my perspective. She is crazy for her reaction and staying with a guy who didn't appreciate her and what she did for him. He is crazy for even going out with her at the start when she overreacted in the rain. Not to mention his obsession on working on his passion without any regard for her or anyone else around him. Heck I don't even think he has any regard for himself
ACRIMONY IS VERY GOOD. I WANNA BE SELFISH AND SAY DON'T TAKE A BREAK 😂 CONGRATS MICHAEL ON FATHERHOOD MAN WE'RE ALL HAPPY FOR YOU AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR LOVING OUR CULTURE AND CONTINUING THESE FILMS. HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS REVIEW BEST HOLIDAY AND MORE TYLER PERRY MOVIES NEXT MONTH. LOVE YOU GUYS. ❤
For whatever Robert reason is I can understand Melinda’s rage. She literally carried the load of his dreams for 18 years with the promise of a life that never came to be. In addition he then gets into a relationship and marries the same woman he initially cheated on her with when they were young so how could she take his “I never cheated” as truth. I applaud Taraji in her performance right after the time jump you can literally feel the exhaustion on her. 10 million is a lot but I get the rage she had and why she felt that it wasn’t enough.
Dude isn't perfect and he made mistakes but that promise he made would of came true for her had she stuck by him. She betted on herself and lost, that's her fault.
And time is something you cannot get back as well as her losing her reproductive system in a hysterectomy. 10 Mil is not enough, but was a good start. She wanted him to prove it.
And also look how hard he fought for his invention. And if she didn’t believe in him, provide for him for over 10 years and support him, he would not have been able to prefect his idea. You see when he didn’t have that support he stopped working on his project. He didn’t even have a phone or home. That makes a difference in someone achieving his success.
@@treythegem1334she stuck by him for 18 yrs that’s more than enough sticking. She gave everything up for him and he made her family lose their business, you would be tired too
It wouldn't have come through if they were still together. The lady started really pushing for him to get through with Preston because she took him in, and they became involved shortly after. Had she kept him after he rejected the $800,000 I doubt he would've been reconsidered. And they would've been without the house, and both of them homeless. The issue was she loved that man, and he made that marriage loveless. He stopped hugging her, no intimacy, no nothing, just 18 years gone down the drain and she was tired. Her choosing to divorce him wasn't the issue. It wasn't about the money, she just wanted him to pick up his slack. But the moment he gets his big break, he already chose to give it all to somebody else even though she spent 18 years standing by him through all his hell. The 10mil wasn't enough because she loved him, and wanted him along with everything else, but he gave it to the girl he told her she didn't have to worry about anymore. I'm not saying that her insanity was justified, but I am definitely saying I could understand her rage.
@@treythegem1334that’s easy to say in hindsight when u know the being of the movie but imagine being in debt and your house being foreclosed on and getting ready to be homeless while your husband is unemployed.
Hey, so in case the intro was at all confusing, there are other videos with Michael and I coming this month. Acrimony is just the last one we shot together for 2024. We shot two other reactions before Acrimony. I just moved the release dates of the other videos around for logistical reasons. I don't actually know how many Tyler Perry reactions Achara and I would do realistically, given we have the holidays coming up. Most of what you'll see coming out on the channel for the remainder of the year was shot a while ago in preparation for December (including the remaining Tyler Perry reactions with Michael and I for 2024). We will try our best to keep it going uninterrupted into the new year!
@@CinePals I understood. But thanks for clearing it up for those who needed it. Congratulations Mr. Boose!!
When will Michael be coming back
CinePals Whats Up With The R@cist Chicago Comments ?
@@AntonioM-eo9gw I think you're just confused honestly. Re-listen to what was said.
@@Shazzam12 As Usual SomeOne Playing Dumb About Race.....I Prefer Him To Say N!ggerV!lle 🤣
I think people don’t realize is the money doesn’t make up for the manipulation & mental/emotional abuse that Melinda went through since essentially the beginning. The car. Helping his pay for his degree that he didn’t/couldn’t even use. Taking care of them both for literal decades and footing the bill for his dreams and all the came along with it . The money also cannot replace what she lost. She lost her ability to have kids, her youth, her mother’s home (even if she did get it back later). She sacrificed so much and I’d argue that he didn’t go through nearly as much as he put Melinda through. He was in his soft girl era if we’re being honest. Melinda set him up for success and he constantly left her high and dry, especially when she began to get fed up and made him start pulling his weight. She built him up just for him to 1. Get back with the woman he cheated on her for all those years ago and 2. Give her all the things he promised Melinda, including a child. It’s like a slap in the face so I can understand her rage.
Why did she stay?
@@gifi11because she was dumb and in-love eventually she was heartbroken when she thought he cheated and finally snapped back to reality at the worse fucking moment. I would’ve never spent any of that money on him, I would’ve stayed single and financially stabled with the money her mother had left her.
@@gifi11because she was a fool that was in love and saw his potential instead of who he showed himself to be. She didn’t wanna turn her back on him and wanted to support him like society says women should do with their mate. & when you’re young & you become bound to a person, and they’re all you know, it’s harder to let them go. It happens everyday🤷🏾♀️ I wouldn’t have stuck it out that long personally.
@alexist7772 harder, of course. Life is hard. You don't stop doing things that are right or best for you because it is hard lol if someone abuses you, they are in the wrong, and that sucks. At some point, you have to look in the mirror and ask one self, why am I letting myself be abused. Anything else is an excuse.
Great points!
He took her youth, her chance for kids, and wasted her life. Yes, she got the money but she doesn't know that he wasn't cheating on her with Diana (?) The entire time. It's like he used her to support himself and his dreams then gave the life that they worked so hard for to the same woman who he cheated on her with. And that woman looks good, like she hasn't been working two jobs for 18 years and she gets pregnant. It's bullcrap. Now, personally, I would have used the money to buy the life I always wanted and adopt a kid. She went too crazy when it came to the acid, lawsuit, and boat.
Great analysis! 🎯
She gave her youth.
She the reason she can't have any kids.
She wasted her own life.
She literally had a choice.
She gave up and quit .
You can't be mad at him for action.
You can be mad for him neglecting his duties as a partner but nothing else.
Well she said they will never be together again… before he even told her so…
@@LyricalIAmeverything is true but his actions. You can be mad at someone for his actions because it was foul. She should have left especially when she has family that cares and told her to leave.
I think Diana left her wallet in his truck on purpose, after he told her about his invention she saw dollar signs, and decided to conveniently leave her wallet for his wife to see 😅😅😅😅
Robert may not have cheated but he was not committed to the marriage either, he was committed to the battery. Melinda also wanted him more than she wanted the money cause even after they divorced she was thinking of Robert. Money is also not going to make up for Melinda's emotional and exhausted state for the last 18 years. Robert may not have been a bad guy but he definitely was a bad husband.
Factsss! And Melinda also has anger issues that was her true downfall
This is the answer
He cheated before when they was in college are we forgetting that?
I have really enjoyed your deep dive into Tyler Perry. Congrats on the baby, Daddy Michael!
To be fair, I do understand Melinda's rage😅lol. Robert Gayle did take some of the best years of her life. On top of adding all of the stress from the bills and struggle from him not working over the years (almost 2 decades), and just the pure waste of her youth that she gave to him.
Of course she didn't know he was going to hit it big decades later, but I think the fact that he was inconsiderately flaunting the new girl, Diana (the same one she caught him with, years before) in her face, kind of made her rage understandable.
Not to mention he used his manipulation on her when they were younger. For example, by getting her to get an almost $30,000 car for him, when he just needed a simple one to get from point A to point B.
Exactly!! 10M for all of her pain and suffering was chump change. She wanted him to love and fight for her. He used her up! Robert is not a good guy
Yall are nuts lol. Nobody made this woman stay. She could have divorced him long ago like she eventually did. If she would have left, he could have found the more supportive girl and probably would have hit even quicker lol. Woman got 10 times the amount she spent lol. Yall are insane.
@@Nik-Pete10M? He shouldn't have gave her nothing, they weren't married anymore. Not his fault his life got better after her
Should've followed her husband instead of listening to her sisters
Check out: Hidden Figures
Taraji is amazing in that also
It’s already been done on this channel I think !
@@IconVlog. they haven’t yet. I’ll keep recommending til they do
Another great movie of Taraji’s, also The Case of Benjamin Button. She was phenomenal as always
And a funny one would be Think Like a Man for sure!
She absolutely is! This movie and Hidden Figures is a perfect example of Taraji’s range as an actress.
0:15 Congratulations Michael! 🙏🏽💪
Better not do best man holiday without him 😤😤😤 both of you have chemistry that I really really enjoy 🥺😭
Congratulations Michael!!! Enjoy your time with baby and mama.
Exactly, we are not going to accept anyone else😊
I’m praying that’s one of the pre recorded videos lol
@@dannygirl731 Either that, "Soul Food," "Waiting to Exhale" or "What's Love Got to Do With It."
Oooh can't wait to watch this 😂. Also requesting - "What's love got to do with it", "Waiting to Exhale", "Losing Isaiah" and "The Bodyguard"!!
Also Holiday heart ❤️
Don't forget Players club and two can play at that game!
Think Like a Man!💗
Good pics sis good pics❤
All of this! They need to explore all of the black 90's classics. I'm adding Soul Food to this list.
as someone who just went through this (was in a relationship with a BUM who had no job and no money and i had to support him and soon as he got a job he blocked me. all i got from him was a one time with a used hole, headache, heartache, hospital bills, stress and a loss of sanity) this movie has never been more relatable. i loved it the first two times cause i know myself well and know i would go CRRRRRRRRRRRRRAZY over a man using me, it hits different after actually being there. great film and acting by taraji. yeah it drags in bits but boy does it deliver.
A used hole?
That's not what happened to her tho lol. She divorced him, no?
I'm not trying to be passive aggressive here, just really love discourse over this film (I'm all over this comment section lol), but genuinely what do you think led her to divorcing him? Cuz she didn't just get up and decide on a whim, that was 18 years of her sticking beside him...@@gifi11
He didn’t block her once he made it though. I get what you mean, but there’s a vast difference in your situation. Sorry that happened to you though!
Switch genders and genders only. Situations the same. You wouldn’t be saying that and you would be calling him a monster and that she didn’t deserve all of that…. Guaranteed. (The movie)
I’m obsessed with this duo watching black films. Y’all should make another channel dedicated to that.
Girl same I find myself waiting 😂
@ me too lol
Trueee, I even watched set it off with them even though I’ve seen it many times lol😂
This movie is very conflicting for me. I get her anger, and the thing is, she was still so angry because it wasn't just about the money she spent trying to help him out for 18 years. He did alot of emotional and mental damage. And she wanted her life with him. Now she had to see him be with the woman he cheated on her with, and she gets to reap all the rewards without any of the time put in. I'd be furious too. But I will also say he was a decent enough man to pay her back.
She left him 😭 when he came to her job she said they’d never be together again.. then she attempted to murdered people..
Next should definitely be Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor! Also a film by Tyler Perry.
Loving the reactions, boys!!!!
STOP RECOMMENDING THESE RAGGEDY A33 TYLER PERRY FILMS
@@ncl1213so negative for what? You get to comment your recommendations why you tryna come for someone for picking theirs? Very weird
@ncl1213 they love these movies so if you don't like them, don't watch. Just make your recommendations and they will go on order of demand.
@@ncl1213 😂🤣😂
@@theSoc1alScientist i really hope they do that next and then i hope they are done with Tyler Perry and do some of the other black classics people have been suggesting. Set it off and Love and basketball were such good reactions I want them to see more
I guess this movie is one of those things where money can not make up for time lost. And I guess the peace of mind you lose in the process.
Edit:Can yall blame her for not believing in him at some point? Like, dude didn't even want to help himself with his own dream. And imo dude was a bad guy just not in the way taraji was. Like he was not good husband to the main person who supported him. He didnt deserve to get shot but the build up to that happening was very clear to see.
It’s gonna be boring without you guys for the rest of December 🥹!!! Happy Holidays and Congratulations on your little bundle of joy❤️
There are other videos coming - this is just the last one we shot. I mixed up the order for release to give editors more time on one video and put the other one Michael and I shot closer to the holiday.
@@CinePalshope it’s best man holiday
@@roselynholloway7863I do too
@@CinePalsmaybe take a vote because as much as i love these reactions, I'm willing to wait for Michael if he's coming back the first of the year. You 2 have a chemistry together and with these movies. I understand when one of your have seen the movie then adding someone else but if it's a first watch I rather have you 2. It just works. 😊
the fact that she can never have children cant be undone with a check but yeah she went off the deep end
She the reason she can’t have kids
As a woman she cause herself not to have kids. She tried murdering then for cheating and rather got the short end of the stick. She should have just left him rather than trying to kill them first cheating and losing her womb in the process. Her Anger issues is her downfall
They are the best duo for any films in general, not just the black films. I like their reactions, their little funny, twisted, cute random comments during the films, their humor, their personalities together just hit differently man and they have great chemistry, it's really unmatched. They really bounce off of each other's energies so effortlessly. This duo makes me feel like they are my buddies man😂
It sure won't be the same😢
Congratulations Michael ❤🎉
Nooooo. Please just wait for Michael to come back for more black movies 😩😩. And congratulations on the beautiful baby 🎉🎉
I hope he waits. They are the dynamic duo.
Agree 100%
Robert was so manipulative. When he returned the wallet Diana asked him if he stole it. When he went home to Melinda he told her that Diana climbed into the truck because her dad used to drive and left her wallet.
And a smart mf would’ve overlooked all that when 10 mil got put in they hands😭
I didn’t even catch that!
After watching this movie for the 100th time, I started to question if Diane's motives was pure. Hear me out... It was 100% nice of her to have coffee with Robert and even put in the word to Prescott for his prototype and even giving him 75 million, but some things are a bit questionable. After coffee, somehow her wallet ends up in the truck? Knowing their history, this can be a way to stir up jealousy within Melinda and Roberts relationship. Then, after the divorce you go and get him and invest in him??? Yes Diane recognized the value of this invention, and invested in it before anyone else would. Its almost like she was gathering progress from Roberts prototype, while recognizing the value of it and waiting for the right time to act. Almost like she can come in and close the deal when the invention was ready, which would explain her reappearance and willingness to invest. Idk idk something just isn't right. The whole incident is just truly unfortunate.
Boomerang or 5 heartbeats when you start back up again!
🎉 congratulations, Michael!! 🎉
@@desiree20115wrong movie babe 🥴

@@roselynholloway7863😂
@ yeah I get it
Boomerang!
This movie had us shook! Tyler Perry shot this in just 7 days because Taraji was still doing "Empire" and she only had a week before her shooting for Empire was about to start. Tyler is a genius is should be regarded more. Madia is just one aspect of his portfolio and folks act like all of his movies are Madia movies.
SEVEN DAYS?!
@@hothotheat3000I'm just as shocked as your are. 😮 How true is this?? 🤔

I literally get so happy everytime you guys watch black cinema movies!!!!!!!!
Whenever you guys get back together please do this Christmas and jumping the broom !! (Congrats to Michael!!)
Y'all gotta watch Taraji and Idris Elba in No Good Deed!!!!
Fantastic movie! Can't wait for them to react to it
This film actually did have potential. The beginning monologue and the ones throughout the film are fantastic and full of vitriol. Tyler Perry is great when it comes to insults. I do love it in the last quarter where Melinda displays real-life stalking antics. It was very effective for me.
I saw a Tyler Perry interview where he was inspired by friends/couples coming up to him and others and their stories didn't all line up. Showing that their stories don't line up because they are seeing and explaining it through their point of view. I expected to get Melinda's point of view vs. reality, but we never get that. That would have been great. It didn't have to be Melinda was crazy and a liar, it could have been a mix of things.
Also, Tyler Perry made the movie in eight days.
congrats on baby boose SO HAPPY YOU GUYS ACTUALLY WATCH WHAT WE REQUEST love you guyssss❤
Dayummmmm congrats Mikey! Sucks to have to wait for another Jaby n Mike reaction but gotta go be a daddy…

It dye wine be the same😢
Congrats Mikey!!
The thing that always stands out to me about this movie is that the dream that Robert sells both women is not even their dreams. It’s his dream. The penthouse apt, boat, ring… I wanted a moment for Melinda to find her mind…to take a moment to breathe and realize, “I never wanted any of these things” and to accept the money and realize what the $10M affords her and happily move on with her life.
I almost said OH NO when you said it was the last of the year but congrats on the baby and looking forward to more black cinema reactions
Congratulations on the new baby!🎉🎉
Baby Boose, congratulations to you and your wife.
Seeing them watching black movies raises my serotonin levels. I click every time 🧡
Not sure how your channel found me, but I’m so glad it did. It got me through the worst sickness I’ve ever experienced. Thanks!
"TEMPTATION: CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGECOUNSELOR" NEEDS TO BE THE NEXT MOVIE REVIEW PUHLEASE!!!!
Oooooh yes!
"Today on the 6pm news, a car chase through downtown Chi-ca-landa, New York!"😂😂😂 Michael, you had me HOLLERING 😂😂Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your baby!!
She did everything for him for more than 18Years. Now his doing everything for a lady he cheated on her with😭😭 I'd go crazy too. She divorced him because she thought he was cheating. How was her wallet in the truck??? If y'all's spouse had someone's wallet he/she cheated u on with before, would you be like "Oh, that's ok🥰"???Like, NO. Did she go overboard..YES, but I'd absolutely be angry to see my ex husband be with someone he cheated on me with before and treating her better than he treated me💔😭
When jaby said "this is the last... " my heart SANKK
You two never miss a beat. I've been enjoying watching your reactions for months now and it just gets better and better.
I remember the first time I saw this movie and it triggered my anger so much, not because I had been through any of that but because I could see myself going through all of those emotions. Then the scene with the therapist came on and I realized why I saw myself in Melinda was because I too have borderline personality disorder. I forgot about the therapist saying that. It all makes so much sense on why this movie triggers my emotions so much.
Aww congratulations!! 👣🎊 but also 😢 as this is my absolute favorite duo. But what a blessing it is to have an opportunity to take time off as you adjust to your precious new addition. 🙏🏾
Congrats Mickey! You guys are my fav duo! I’ll patiently await the return of you both together and keep watching the channel
The next one gotta be:
Brown Sugar
The Best Man Holiday
Love Jones
Yes, and A Madea Christmas
And Think like a man!
Or "Soul Food."
Yes to all except for the Madea one😅
"WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT" NEXT PLEASEEEEEE also Congrats Michael enjoy your baby girl she will have you wrapped around her finger trust im a daddy's girl lol you'll melt. ❤
Acrimony is just traumatic to me. It's one of the saddest movies I've ever seen.

@@UnbiasedRemarks Troll, I've seen plenty of movies and it's still _one_ of the saddest I've ever seen. 🙄

This movie has sooo many layers because you have to ask yourself who truly was in the wrong
Who’s truly in the wrong? My vote goes to the stalker and the person that attempted double homicide 😳
@@geometro9598they both were equally wrong at different points in time.

RUclips will probably flag it
@@BlackHandSide i've seen a couple of reactors get it up... don't know if the vid was monetized, tho

Michael congratulations on the baby! That’s a lucky kid to have such an awesome dad!
Congrats Michael on your new bundle of joy! 🎉❤ bless yall love this channel makes me feel im watching with friends
This was a recommendation of mine! Glad ya’ll watched. Melinda was too drained and damaged by the relationship to be saved by his fortune. That’s a very deep level of pain. I saw this in theaters and felt Taraji’s wrath performance in my bones for those psychiatry scenes. She’s so damn good!
30:28 I’m glad someone said it. I hate when certain characters in film and tv shows are jacked or “ripped” with no explanation. As someone who frequently works out, you need at least a few months to years of consistent lifting to get some of these physiques. But some characters will be huge but do nothing but sleep on the couch all day
You'd hate my family 😂 cus we naturally built not big odee big but we extremely muscular and tone, us skinny ones are ripped and toned
@@LyricalIAmmy family is the exact same. We are all very naturally built people. The women in my family have no stomachs, big thighs and broad shoulders. The men are built like solid rocks, we are country so I guess you could say we are country strong 😂
God, I was waiting for this reaction. I'm now satisfied. I love this movie so much. Taranji P. Henson was so magnificent in this movie. Absolutely batshit. When I saw this in theaters, I was on the edge of my seat. After she ran her car into his trailer, then sat in discontented silence for 18 years, I was waiting for her to explode and I was scared. Love this movie!
Congratulations on the new life, but you two are THE best duo for any movie reactions!!
Congratulations on the baby, Michael 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on the new baby!!!!
To This Day I Believe... The Side Chick Planted The Wallet 🤷🏾♀️
I had the same thought!
Okay so I’m not crazy for thinking that. She had a strong feeling that battery would hit and started planting seeds. As soon as Melinda kicked him out and divorced him, she was in there. Ain’t no smart woman getting with a man with a low-wage job, and fresh out a divorce, unless there was something in it for her.
These two have a lot of emotional intelligence and understanding with Blk cinema. They don’t easily get offended nor instantly uncomfortable. They try to understand and not become dismissive of everything that involves race.
Was sooooo excited to see y’all reacted to this. Watched it immediately. I felt for both characters throughout this film, great movie. Taraji is easily in my top 3 favorite female actors, I feel and believe every character she plays👏🏾
Congratulations on the sweet baby Michael ❤ I’m gonna miss this duo but I’m super excited to see what you watch next ❤
Congratulations Michael 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You guys are the perfect duo reacting to Black cinema ❤ I will wait for Michael’s return to watch , I can’t imagine anyone else
Congratulations Michael!! Very best to you,mom and baby ❤
You gotta think about it! She gave 18 years of her life, gave up her college, and everything for him. 10 million doesn’t even account for the amount of time she lost fighting and working for him.
This was one of the most divisive Tyler Perry films. Some felt like her rage was valid others didn’t. I think this is one of his best movies imo
Oh my gosh, in the new year I recommend you both watch "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor". You haven't seen dark until you seen that movie. It's all over the damn place but it's entertaining as hell
Awwwwwwwwm Micheal congrats on the new baby!!!best wishes!!
Taraji should have won an Oscar for best actress for this movie.
WHATS WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT NEXT!!!!! Angela Bassett wore that role OUT 🗣️
Congratulations Michael!!!!! Love y’all’s reactions. We’re going to miss this duo until your return!
THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD CINEPALS! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS REACTION! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!🩵
You guys picked a hell of a flick to close out on! Soo many more out there bro. Best Man Holiday, Menace to Society, Higher Learning! The rabbit hole goes much deeper
The crazy can be like a flip of the switch. You won't know what happened until you come back to the calm. The crazy can be a slow burn , a build-up, and then a snap. There is no coming back from the second one.
You try to fight the crazy because from previous blow ups, your life gets ruined. You're in serious trouble.
Jaby and Michael are my favorite movie reaction duo, and Jaby has the best laugh ever. lol!
I would love if only you two do all the movie reactions.
This film is one of the most debatable movies of all time. They're both wrong and they're both right. If she didn't believe in him, she wouldn't give up everything for him. She let her rage get the better of her but he was dead wrong for doing the exact same things he promised her for his new wife. That ticked her off.
Jaby, we have been asking Tyler for YEARS how she got on that boat in the first place!!😂😂😂
😅😅😂
congrats on the baby Michael! take as much time as you need to enjoy your new blessing, we’ll still be here. 😭❤️ I think you guys should react to “A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” with Martin Lawrence & Lynn Whitfield.
CONGRATS MICHAEL!!!🎉👶🏼
omg congratulations on the new little one, michael!!!!! thanks for these reactions yall
Michael bring the baby for the Tyler Perry reactions, we dont mind ☺
"Guys who cheat ALWAYS have a girl they come back to and cheat again then come back". That hit me hard. 😭 I was in a 4-5 year relationship with a guy I loved so much who did this to me and hurt me badly. I'm to blame for loving him so much I kept taking him back. Been single for 5 years now cz I'm NEVER going through any of that again. Dang!!!
I hope you’re okay. That situation can take a toll on you
Taraji played crazy too damn well in this movie. Lol
So glad y'all finally watched this one. I think it's wild that you guys really sat there and said driving your vehicle into a trailer...twice and then throwing a brick thru a car window isn't CRAZY!!!
