1.5/5 was an understatement. The movie is 0.2/5
So the movie was clearly filmed in Chicago, as a Chicago native I recognized my city in the preview-trailer. But you mean to tell me they never mentioned the location where this movie took place? Tyler Perry is the worst movie producer ever🤦🏽♀️ Thanks for this review, I have no reason to watch.
Wow 😮
@MovieFiles Support all things black ? That's the sole problem.
The sex scenes were ridiculous, no one spoke about the case. Why was her character going to his house at night? Straight stupidity
I agree. I wonder if she regrets doing this movie. It was terrible. Zaiyre eyes are dead.
And she just laid down did nothing lol
So unrealistic and some fans think this movie is great smh
I didn’t even watch it and had no desire to. I don’t know why she reduced herself to this.
Right.. He got control over her right away too. I’ll be dammed if I close my eyes at the demands of a suspected murderer let alone go anywhere near his house.
I didn't like the fact that we never got to see the two powerful attorneys in the courtroom going against each other. No courtroom at all.
Yes I was more interested in the case than anything else in the whole movie
Exactly!!
A trial with no courtroom scenes is blasphemy!
its in the directors cut..*plot twist** Madea is the star witness 😂😂😂😂
This is what I was looking for! I wanted to see the action take place in the courtroom
Mea , how your brother-in-law who hates you suddenly gets nice to you and asks you to come to the house and you go?????
Like... Why even call him in the first place? 😂😂
@@foreverstriving4uExactly. He was the prosecuter! This was supposed to be his big case. He wouldn’t care if an innocent man rots in jail. .
🤦🏾♀️
Right…you are attorney’s working opposite sides of the courtroom and you trust him with stuff involving the case that might help YOU…it’s crazy. Knowing that he’s running for mayor and plan to use the artist’s story to win, why would he help you to make him look bad and him not win, if he really needs this man jailed to help him become mayor?!!
Out of nowhere 😂😂😂😂
Her getting in the car with her husband after his whole family just tried to kill you is wild
I know
😂
Exactly! And he said that he was going back to the house and she just let him drive her back to the house.🤦🏽♀️
Right!!!!!!!!
#Tyler Perry😂❤
i was highly upset they didn’t do an ACTUAL COURTROOM SCENE like wtf was even the point of creating the movie around a court case and not doing one
It was really around and about sex. I actually cut it off when kelly was in the elevator. It was like almost all his movies. I only watched to see kelly but couldnt keep watching it. Its TRASH!
I really thought it was going to be more like Law & Order SVU
@@blxgrlIt made 0 sense why go back???
@@blxgrlIt's not worth finishing unless you just really wanna see how bad it gets. I thought the first 80% of the movie was just a below average eroctic thriller, but the last part of the movie.... that was laughably BAD.
I couldn’t watch that movie about the grey guy and girl that got married….it’s was like 3 or 4 movies in the series….to me it seems like it was like that movie….I think the name was 6 somethings of red or gray or something like that.
I got through the end of it and thought Kelly did a great job acting she was believable as a character.
So she should find other acting roles because she is a good actress.
I loved her outfits extremely stylish!
She’s a defensive attorney and as soon as an attractive man enters, brains exit
Brains exit
He wasn't even sexy in this movie. He looked high and tired the whole movie.
@@1991Meka he was creepy
I was surprised that she eventually walked away
I’m Glad I watched the movie before coming across this review.
It was 50 Shades of Grey that turned into Scream. 😂
Yep
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not turned into scream 😂😂😂
That’s actually the direction 50 Shades took as well 😂 Both movies are garbage lol.
Like Scream as in the comedy version with the Wayne's Bros. 😂😂😂😂😂
There were NO surprises for me. As soon as the brother in law said he was running for mayor, I knew he was the villain
Same
I knew it as well when they showed his knife and fork while at the dinner table.
This is so true, and lol funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol! This time the ls men were the villains. That's the only thing that's different 😂
I knew it down to him going upside that sister in laws head.
When the movie opened up and I saw “Written, directed and produced by Tyler Perry” I was like 🙄. Let me get my drinks 🍺 🥂
Multiple dranks
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think that he would benefit from having a writing partner.. He’s needs a different perspective 😊
😂😂😂😂
Don’t forget, she throws away a pretty good phone at the end of the movie when she could’ve block the number
This made me laugh. 😂
Right lol. I’m like, girl go get that phone 😂
Lol
That’s the part where I was like “where they do that at?” 🙄
😂😂😂
The comedy for me was the husband acting mad and flipping the table 😂😂😂😂
$63 worth of damage
Fake outrage😅😅
He's a terrible actor.
@@yahchelrachel Omgosh yes the fake wilding out and the sounds he made 🤣😂🤣
@@Thebiggest7303 🤣🤣
11:40 I just don’t understand why she wanted secondary dik. He didn’t even wash it SISTER
THIS!!!!!!!!
Exactly
Exactly!!
I was disgusted by that scene.
😂😂😂 this!!
This movie storyline gave Addicted mixed with Reasonable Doubt mixed with Confessions of a Marriage Counselor. I loved Kelly’s wardrobe and hair.
The movie trailer reminded me of the movie Temptation, so I was not interested in going to the theater to see it.
Agreed. Also a little bit of a fall from grace
Yes!! Ms. Kelly did not settle for the typical Tyler Perry bad wig. It looks like she brought her own glam squad. And she looked flawless. ❤🎉
Mixed with Trios
The wardrobe and hair were the best parts of the entire film.
“Hello? 911?” 😂That was cracking me up.
and 911 called back LOL
@@victoriarice9595yess.😂😂😂 I just pressed stop and went on RUclips I was done after that
I was like “if this bitch does not catch up to what is going on, imma lose my fucking mind”
He didn’t even say hello, it was like “hey, yeah, 911?” 😂😂
Bwahahhhhhhaaaahhhaaaa Lol! I said the same thing! Like 911 got *69...wait what??????
Why does Tyler Perry keep doing this?!! 😩😩😂😂😂 TERRIBLE!!
I figured it was one of his movies, Lord 🤦🏽♀️🥴😩
It’s our fault 😂😂 we keep watching
My expectations were low and he drug them lower
😅😅😅😅😅😅
If you’ve seen one of Tyler Perry‘s movies, you’ve seen them all🤷🏽♀️
Tyler Perry needs to allow other people to write and give opportunities to.
Yes. So true, he wants all the writing credits
He can do that. He owns the studio. His table, he can do what he wishes.
He does give other black actors/actresses many opportunities.
Also, others can create their own opportunities just like he has.
And he wants all the money. He doesn't want to pay too many people @@Mdfd438
I was just waiting for someone to say “Are you sure?” 57 times oh and here’s a change light skins vs dark skins and the lights are the bad guys; and best line of the movie was when the Mom states something like both of you dumb b’s slept with him!! That was funny! Mea and
P-Valley should have had a comeback about her sons lack of peen😂😂😂
@@se_me1756we know he is the boss & owner of the studios & movies put out there. The problem is he wants full control & is egotistical. He can produce better quality movies & tv shows if he will open up his mind to hire talented black writers & directors. He brags about producing his movies faster than othe movie executives. But the end result is always trash, because he is rushing and not making wise decisions! The only reason why he is a billionaire is because the black community supports him because we appreciate that he employs a lot of black actors who may never get a chance to act in “main stream movies or tv shows “. He also is a philanthropist who helps others who are in need financially. Just wish that he would hire better writers so he can succeed with producing good quality movies/tv shows worth watching, that we can be proud of. I hope he does a good job with the movie about the black women who served in the Army during WWII. Hope he did his research & left a positive impression on that upcoming movie.
People love low hanging fruit - Put two attractive people as leads and make everything subpar. People eat it up.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID..THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE TUNED IN WAS BECAUSE OF KELLY AND TREVANTE
I figured this out right away. The family was WAY too creepy. I knew very early on what was going to happen. The only refreshing surprise is that she didn’t “happily ever after” with zayir
Right!!!!
I wanted zayir and Kelly to get together
The only saving grace of this dumb ass movie. Lmao
Right. Threw that phone 📱 out !
With all due respect, there is no way you predicted that ending 😅
Kelly ate with her looks in the film and with the wardrobe. She also did very well acting even though the dialogue and story line struggled
Spot on.
I agree but I also think people are forgetting that it’s an erotic thriller and not a drama crime or suspense movie. Thrillers usually have a lot going on to keep you wondering .
This is what happens when you fire your Writers Room and refuse to hire WOMEN WRITERS! He ha been using this same Movie and Play “TROPE” for over a decade!
Just bad writing. It has nothing to do with male or female writers. It just bad writing. I have watched a lot of shows with female writers and the shows were trash
100%
So that’s what happen ? Why no women writers dang he’s missing out ! Putting out garbage
Exactly same sh!t over and over Lmaoooo
Precisely!
I pressed play for Black History Month, however there were no characters to root for. The last part of the movie was the worst a messy rush that didn’t land. It was pretty decently shot but the script needs assistance…happy to see Kelly Rowland rocking her Fabletics work out wear in the movie (product promotion) 🍿 🎥
Yes ending was messy and fell apart
The best line was “All you bitches can go to hell!” by the ex. 🤣🤣 It’s going to be a GIF!
Gotta love Veronica 😩😂
@@raphaellivings9376😅😂
The chemo mom having all her hair and eyebrows.the chemo bonnet off and on 😅
This pissed me off so much. They didn't even bother to make the woman look sick like common she has CANCER and it's doing chemo.
I can honestly say I saw the twist coming. The mother and sons had the strangest relationship and the mother would have been put in her place by any Black female. Can’t say I’m disappointed because it’s Tyler Perry. I thought Kelly did a great job but the dialogue was painful to watch.
How can anyone watch a TP movie and not think he is a plant at this point
I agree! Not one uplifting Black movie.
Honestly
Indeed😂
Didn’t think they had plants in this form of industry. But you are absolutely right.
I agree. This movie made sex so meaningless. Like no morals or values or courtroom.
I’ve said this once and I will say this a million times…. Tyler does not like or respect black women. He always have them making the most ridiculous decisions. This movie had more plot holes then swiss cheese.
Idk I feel like that’s how a lot of women r written in thrillers to make irrational decisions to further the plot only difference here is that Tyler Perry only stars black people in his films. I don’t think it’s some big vendetta against black woman lol why does everything have to be a representation of black people in the real world? Like some personal attack it’s just a movie. If she didn’t make irrational decisions it wouldn’t be a thriller.
@@tmd-w1552Exactly the whole world does not revolve around black people or women.
@@tmd-w1552she is right. I agree with you that other movies depict women the same way not just Tyler but they have one offs where women are seen in a positive light. Not TP. Tyler only shows Black women in a negative light. Watch his sitcoms and films. He pushes the agenda that Black women, especially Black professional women lack sexual morality and is always willing to risk it all for sex. Go back and watch his work carefully. You will see.
Like ALL his endeavors
Tyler definitely doesn’t like women!!!
TUBI Special 😂😂 it's on Netflix
The “Tubi” credit had me laughing as well 😂
Tubi movies are brilliant compared to this.
When he said "can someone say yeast infection!" I fell out my chair laughing😂
Somebody tell me this...how would they have freaking skull fragments on his paintings? And..."so much blood that it was seeping into the downstairs apartment'.
And the lady walking around just fine, not a scratch on her head working in DR 😂😂
@_CPerk the lady was never hurt. They paid her off, but they would've had to stage the evidence. How did they get so much of her blood and skull fragments?
@@1991Meka she was in on It with the family 😂…they paid her off to set Zayir up for 6 months, but even with a 💰, she somehow still gotta work maid service at a resort in DR 🤦🏾♂️
There was no context on anything in this movie. Nothing was explained. You left having more questions than answers. 🤦🏽♀️ like why did he choose Kelly for the lawyer (no context on her being the best attorney in Chicago). Who was the man next to the brother in the beginning ( I thought he was gay). Why did the family looked down on Kelly (did she come from poverty or had a racey background). What the HELL happened to Kelly’s large amount of money that was sent to the brother regularly for the mom’s alleged treatment ( she never asked or did they explain, we were left to assume it went to the brother’s campaign). Why was Kelly so dumb to the mother’s disrespect? Where the hell was his front door (anyone from the street had access. If so where was next door where white girl lived)? I have so many more questions. 🤔
@@_CPerk🤣🤣🤣 I laugh at your Ready to Love comments. To see you over here roasting got me tickled!
Note to self…whenever I write a crime script…remember one can’t be charge with murder if there is no body found 😂
Not true. I remember watching an episode of Killer Cases on Hulu. The husband was charged and convicted of killing his wife and they never found her body. She just disappeared never to be seen again. I couldn't believe that he was found guilty.
The body wasn’t even thought about 😂. She suppose to be best lol defense attorney job is to get you off, create reasonable doubt. She running around trying get the truth
@@yo81 I had to google this, but you’re right. There’s a handful of cases where this happened but sounds like It took a while for the conviction
I was hoping the brother would wash his peacock before using it on Kelly. Like Ewww!!
nope took her on a bike ride and right back to the rib 😂 i had to take another look to make sure i saw what i saw
Very nasty and abig turn off
lol…
When did things get so raw… I remember Basic Instinct…. It left some things to our imagination 💭 and it was great 👍🏼
REALLY REALLY NASTY! SEX CLUB IN THE BASEMENT. KELLY NO NO NO!
I wanted kelly to WIN😢
She needs to stay away from TP for that to happen. Cause his movies are straight TRRRRAASSSHHHHHH.
The storyline was lacking, but the cast was good. I wish Kelly would have leaned in a little more and made it her own. I also wish they would have focused on her career a bit more😢❤🎉❤
Yeah I've seen better acting from Kelly...I couldn't tell if it was bad acting or bad directing or both
@@daisyhenry332 bad directing. Even for a Netflix movie.
😂 I fussed at the husband the entire time while we watched it. I was so mad at the many ways Mea was Not acting like she's been Black her entire life! 😂 I watched to support TP, but these folks made me so upset actin' like they actin'!
Well, this IS a Tyler Perry movie😂
@@onegod1me284😅😂 every time I tried to assess how unrealistic some the scenes were, my husband kept reminding me that it’s a Tyler Perry movie & stop wasting my time thinking logically about the plot & scenes! 😅😂🤣
Oh I get it now. Tyler Perry asked a woman what she would do in these situations…..🤔and he did the opposite 😳that has to be it😂
Right!!! lol
So no one is going to mention that Mia’s husband picked her up while she was running down the access road from the house then asked him why he was driving back to the house then a semi truck was approaching them ….FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE HOUSE!😂😭😭
😂😂
There were SOOO many things to pick one.....this was...wow....bad!!! Dude got a sex club in the basement
@@user-ex5lw2sr9eright that was so strange..like it was right there
Omg yes!! And how far did Kelly run?!? Cause they was driving for a minute lmao!!!
There's SOOOO many things, it's hard to pick one!!! Dude had a sex club in his basement...LMFAO
That mom got on my nerves . Now Kelly walked in on homie smashing he told shorty to leave and proceeded to kiss on Kelly 😂😂😂we were like damn playboy u can’t go wash up or wash yo mouth just nasty 😂
Yeah that took me out… I was like gross😮
It seemed like everyone was just obsessed with Mea, versus the movie having a plot😂
Yep I was lol
11:17 "Tag Team put me in coach" 😂😂😂
Right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
B you would laugh at that! 😂
Lol my turn
Right ain’t no sister I know going to do that.
The way the mom kept going in on her I thought for sure she was gonna knock her TF out but she just took it. This movie pissed me off 😂😂😂
The mom had a bionic knee the way she was able to completely break the phone so easily, my knees could never 😂
Watched it yesterday and all I can say is
WHHHHY
I agree with everything you said lol This movie felt rushed. It also didn't need to be 2hrs long 🥴 There were a few pointless conversations happening throughout the movie.
If I have to turn off my logical brain to appreciate a movie and pretend its another genre, its a no for me
My 40's had more layers than this movie😂
😂😂😂👍🏽
Hey Elliott. I didn’t know you were from Chicago, me too! That's so dope!!! I peeped someone from Chicago commenting on the legal aspects of the movie (which was barely addressed, lol) that in Chicago, IL, we don't have DA's, we have States Attorneys. Also, Mea asked Zyair if he wanted to get a lethal injection, but there is no death penalty in Illinois 🤷🏽♀️ Also, they never recovered the victim's body to be able to solidify the charges on Zyair. Lastly, I don't believe they ever cleared up how there were fragments of a skull on the alleged victim's picture. I guess I should have approached this movie in the same manner as you did and viewed it as a comedy.
😂 🤣
I HATED this movie and myself for actually watching it!!! And personally I think Tyler Perry knows that at this point his achievements in the black community and his ability to keep so many black entertainers employed makes it difficult for people to completely cut him off, but we need to stop accepting this garbage. He is so busy trying to be a one man show, that he, in turn is failing our community. We have fought for so long to have well written and honest stories told about us, by us and instead we keep getting his minstral show...it has to end! He needs to be stopped!
I totally agree! Tyler Perry has a very dark side to this movie almost sick like that Cult TV show
@@marciamajor8059 💯. It was like he was writing out his own dark fantasies.
Yes! Finally someone says it!
BRAVO BRAV THE F OH 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Facts!!!!
These comments are more entertaining than the movie 😂
All I can say is that I’ve been traumatized. This was gross and unbelievable. As far as the acting goes the sex scenes were unnecessary and traumatizing. Please pray for Tyler Perry, because this was a disgusting and a terrible choice for Kelly Rowland.
I agree...it had potential but is hot trash
Agreed I wish Kelly's manager or husband somebody would have told her not to do this movie or the sex scenes. She is worth more than that.
💯 agree 🤷🏽♀️
I agree the sex scenes were unnecessary
This was a bad movie. Poorly written. Tyler has a twisted view of women, and writes female characters like the Black exploitation movies back in the day. I think he hates Black women, it’s a POV of a gay man. No respected studio would have produce this movie. Tyler has to own his own studio to produce this crap. Plus he doesn’t pay the actors well.
The more questions I asked the more I realized this movie didn’t make a lick of sense 😒
Three of my friends called me to tell me to watch this movie. This movie should have been on Tubi. Its really not a good movie.
It's really bad
Ronreaco couldn't even save this. I was actually going to watch this for Ronreaco because he's a great actor... Oh well. 😂
He truly did his best with what was given
He did have the best acting, actually the only good acting in the whole movie.
He should’ve played the husband honestly he actually seem to care more smh
Her outfits were nice….
Is this not the same plot from that show on HULU with Michael Ealy.. I think it’s called Reasonable Doubt??
That was a good show
yes but that show was actually good
In my review of "Mea Culpa," the movie left me disappointed and disjointed. The poorly delivered dialogue and lackluster performances, especially Kelly, gave the impression of an under-budget film. Kelly's portrayal lacked facial expressions, and her attempt at a firm, straight-shooter lawyer fell flat. Trevonte's character took a bizarre turn, with cringy lines and inappropriate scenes, such as the orgy party in his building and the awkward sex scene with his neighbor while Kelly stood idly by. These moments contributed to the overall ridiculousness of the storyline, making it hard to take seriously despite the stunning cast. The film's multitude of concepts and poor execution left me thoroughly unimpressed.
At this juncture in Tyler Perry's career, it seems imperative for him to assign roles to individuals who can elevate his work. The audience may grow weary of these seemingly hastily assembled movies that offer little enjoyment, even with an attractive cast. What captivates a core audience is the evident effort and attention to detail from a producer, actor, and director. Unfortunately, "Mea Culpa" felt thrown together for a quick profit and exposure, lacking any substantial value added to the craft.
This!
I think trevante is great for indie films. Him in moonlight? Chefs kiss. He knows how to do emotional dramas with focuses on cinematography (think “really love” with Kofie Siriboe)
Yesss I loved Moonlight…if he would’ve had more to work with (i.e. a better-written script), he would’ve shined in this one too. He still did good tho considering
@@ceecollette6708 the script has to suit him though. He’s very sexy, but toxic sexy? No lol I disagree. Even his small role in bird box was better fitting
Exactly same thing I said how your “best friend” not tell you she slept with your new client
Tylerbperry needs to hire good writers
I just need TP to spend some of his millions on the following: 1) acting coaches 2) hair stylists and most importantly REAL writers. 😮
Tyler is unwell Mr. “Work Ethic” is truly disrespectful to the actors who he writes for. At this point he might as well let AI write a script.
Alsoooooo imagine if Issa Rae had the resources he does. I’m craving more Black art like The Vince Staples Show, American Fiction, The Wonder Years, and Insecure (that I miss deeplllly).
Tyler hates women
AI would be a vast improvement 😂
Tyler hates women? Where is this coming from?
He’s actually using AI
The soundtrack was fire 🔥
Kelly was actually good in Empire playing Terrence Howard's mom...I don't know what happened
An actor can't out act a bad script.
@@greeksun369A good actress or actor can improvise…… and Kelly really isn’t that great of an actress….
yea, she should have refused that offer. tyler needs to retire
These were my sentiments exactly 🤦🏽♀️ My husband and I were so excited to watch and plus support a black film especially Kelly and Trevonte. We love a good movie..But this was ridiculously unrealistic & just flat out stupid. The storyline got lost early on and they did keep us guessing what would happen but the next was ridiculous. The sex scene wasn’t that steamy and the first sex scene was unrealistic..The interesting part is most of those paintings were really Trevonte’s if not all and Kelley helped with the producing of this movie whatever that means…lol So that was great to know but it was disappointingly not a good movie! I agree with u about Tyler’s writing like what in the world. I love Tyler Perry but Sorry guys maybe next time. This wasn’t it.
I actually can't stand his writing outside of Why did I get married and A family that Preys. His directing sucks too. Like the pacing is always slow n off, close up shots for no reason.
Almost like he would've been good at soap operas when they were a thing. But he dies have a cult audience . I think those who like intelligent films can't get with his style or scripting.
So Trevonte is really a painter?
This film was dark, sadistic and raunchy for no reason. It could have been good with the actors used. Kelly took a step down to do this. Definitely did not paint her in a positive light.
Tyler Perry doesn’t respect us. He feels zero importance to develop compelling stories. He loves the bear minimum when it comes to telling black stores.
Bare minimum. Celeb filled casting and that’s it.
@@rissilient85 maybe we too need to lower our expectations of him him. He’s not trying to be an Issa Rae, a Jordan Peele, a Shonda Rhimes…his tribe is the Chitland circuit and telling stories rooted in the illusions of white, male, Christian, patriarchal ideologies.
👏🏾Couldn’t have said it better myself!
@@MegaEsque You hit the nail on the head with this. His goal was never to direct a blockbuster. Not at all. Just streaming views. It didn’t matter about the quality or if we enjoyed it.
@@rissilient85 I just had this convo. Tyler has a huge contract with Netflix to produce movies. As such, he is paid either way. Our views are good enough for him. He is not looking for us to like them cause he makes money either way. I think what might backfire is the rating survey Netflix place at the end. If they get enough thumbs down they may try to get out of that contract. But trust me he’s not getting thumbs down. Black people are supportive of our own based on color and choose to complain in forums like this. We will continue watching his movies hoping he gets better. Either way both parties win (TP and Netflix). But as you guys said our expectations are too high. Tyler’s movies are not for us despite what color he and his characters skin tones are. Those movies are to perpetuate negative stigma of the culture. His views are skewed and his rich friends love it. We definitely need to change our expectations and decide if we want to continue participating in his shenanigans. We have more power than we think. Until we realize that Tyler will continues to be mediocre and play in our faces.
I enjoyed the movie and seeing my girl Kelly Rowland ❤I enjoyed the music as well!
The movie was a typical Tyler Perry movie. Predictable, repetitive and always making women look gullible. Book smart yet dumb. Tyler Perry knows he can reel us in with the cast. It's been the same movies, some of the same lines and were over it. My favorite movie is the family that preys
I called this film with 45 minutes to go. It was easy to figure out. Like c’mon.
I called it the 2nd scene when they were at the restaurant and the white momma was talking to Kelly CRAZY!! Was so unbelievably ridiculous. I said, "This is stupid." 5mins in.
You tried five minutes in I was like nope
I agree with you. Not a good movie. Period. Tyler Perry doesn't have box office draw for me. The quality of his work is so inconsistent. Ascetically beautiful, but the writing and plot is just awful.
I concur..he really needs to relinquish his tight grip on controlling every aspect and allow fresh minds to give input
It's giving Addicted...
Meets temptation meets a fall from grace lls
It’s giving get out literally the same damn movie
Copy and paste with few edits here and there
I watched because I love Kelly Rowland and for purely entertainment purposes. I was entertained, it is just a movie and not that serious. Just get entertained and call it a day.
I agree. The plot,storyline, and ending was typical TP, but it really wasn't all that bad. Strictly entertainment. Something to watch when you can't sleep at night or you wake up early in the morning.
Right. It's from TP, so if you going thinking that way you'll see it as a typical Lifetime movie
I expected more out of the movie. I thought we were gonna actually see the case. Go to court and etc... Also, the sex club and nudity were not needed smh.
This video popped up in my feed, and since I watched the movie 2 nights ago, I decided to watch this review. I AM SO GLAD I'm not the only one who thought this movie was trash.
First off, I didn't realize it was a Tyler Perry film until I started watching. I stopped watching his stuff years ago because it all seems to be the same thing. I watched this particular movie because it was starring Kelly Rowland. I thought her performance was good, but I was immediately pissed and turned off when she slept with him. Now I'm a Scorpio, I'm highly sexual but I was offended by this, which doesn't happen often. As a PROFFSSIONALLY LICENSED ATTY, I would believe that she wouldn't want to jeopardize her license just for sex. As a woman a color we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard and even thoughits just s movie, still!! This annoyed the hek out of me, especially since she didn't fact-check the news recv'd prior to this scene by just going to the hotel to see for herself first hand then she wouldnt have made the dumb ass emotional decison to sleepnwith this dude who youncould tell was playing her all along.
I knew she was going to sleep with him and that the Mother didn't have cancer, that the brother in law was in on it somehow. I figured out the husband was in on it as soon as he pulled up, very predictable movie from beginning to end. The characters lacked substance and so many other things.
The ending was stupid, and there were so many things that were unaddressed and left you wondering what happened. What happened to Heidi, Why was she in DR, How did she become a part of the setup? How did the sister in law meet and sleep with the painter? When did all of it transpire? Was she dead at the end or just critically injured? Why was the brother in law framing dude, and why was the whole family in on it? Why did he hate Mea so much, etc. There was a lot to be unpacked. Oh, and why did the 2 daughter in laws continuously accept poor treatment from the mother in law and the family as a whole? Why are there no STRONG black women that can stand up for themselves? How did you create Mea to be a powerhouse and then dumb her down?
This movie had not one role model nor did it have depth, nothing to make you ponder and go Hmmmm! The only WOW FACTOR was that it was it was so bad.
How he spoke to Mea when getting in that lift..Olivia Pope would NEVER!
I feel like the movie was the last 30 minutes. Gorgeous cast but Tyler needs help with writing.
I thought Rhodes' career trajectory was going way up after Moonlight & Birdbox. One was an Oscar winning movie,other was Netflix most watched movie(at the time).his career may not be going in the direction it should if he took this role
Question did Kelly the main character give in the bed or was she like a star fish? Those type of erotic films where women are the only one receiving is not worth watching.
100% agreed with your intro. I used to love TP and have so many fond memories watching his movies in particular, but now I can't stomach it anymore. It saddens me b/c his shows and movies were always over the top, but were still mostly believable/relatable enough to be entertaining. Now it's just so silly, you can't suspend your disbelief. It's so frustrating. He hires so many beautiful and highly talented actors and actresses, but gives them these terrible scripts, cheap wigs, and/or sets. It's ridiculous at this point.
In fairness, women do lose our mind over these men out here... Accomplished women or not...
but he didn’t do anything that would show us why she would risk it all for HIM. there were no redeemable qualities, he was JUST good looking and that’s not accurate no ma’am no sir😂
@@deziahnails8790 I mean.. Realistically... Do they ever?? 😂
Black people made him a billionaire. Don't complain now.
He started out good, his plays had a message, and they were funny, then his movie comedies were okay but something went left. I don't watch his dramatic shows but I hear it's scandalous and some o
@@xgal2 His projects were always buffoonery. Tyler has never made notable, Oscar worthy films or plays. Stop it.
I've always critiqued his films and tv shows. Black folks loose their minds when I do. We deserve better.
@@dianep6791Exactly!
Thanks for your review! Kelly Rowland did a good job. 👍🏽🤩But once again, Tyler’s writing just doesn’t cut it. His plot twist in terms clearly just don’t add up. And you can see his motivation for Kelly’s character was clearly Olivia pope. Lol.(Taking a case based on her gut and telling the clients don’t lie to her, etc. ) The ending was comical, as usual per Tyler Perry movies. 😩🤓But overall, I’m glad Kelly is getting leading lady roles.👏🏽
Someone needs to co write Tyler Perry's movies for him but I do respect him for giving people opportunities and I do like his films as a guilty pleasure but he has some movies that are not very good. But funny review, Elliot.
I just wanna know how Hydie’s skull ended up on his paintings again
Right lol
Her skull looked fully in tact at the resort. 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂@@karenkayira4263
Not the "its been 10 years since I watched a Tyler Perry movie and will likely be another after this" 🤣🤣🤣. Agree with this entire video 100%
Tyler has to know we deserve better!
As long as we go and see it, he’ll continue to make this garbage he calls movies.
i cracked up when he was like did you fuck him? 😂😂😂😂😂 and he screamed!!!! lmao 🤣 i was 💀
😂
Hi! New viewer here 👋🏾! I love the way you gracefully broke this down. You were fair and thoughtful with your delivery. With that being said…. I knew I wasn’t gone watch this movie from the Netflix preview provided. Also, I’m not over the wig arrangements in “A Fall From Grace”. Furthermore, the portrayal of black women in most of his films is definitely more on the desperate, demented side of things and it’s not very relatable to us all.
The preview eliminated me. I knew it would be a wash
@@SheDifferent right!
Lolll this movie sounds similar to a fall from grace which is also a similar “lawyer” approach. I might watch it but I’m not rushing into it.
It’s a Fall from grace meets confessions of a marriage counselor
Not catch a yeast infection but and STD
Thank’s for the review . I was hoping for more this time from Perry , but I guess not .., I still want better for Trevante , he’s an excellent actor, he has the entire package…🌻🌻🌻
I was confused af during "the reveal", ngl. I was like, soooo how did Trevante "get off" exactly? All I know is I seen the mexican chick alive then the family trying to unalive Kelly. Someone below said the fam paid off the mexican chick to frame Treavante. Idk. Your review was on point though.
We need to start a petition for Tyler Perry to STOP making movies! I'm dead serious 😭
That was a great review. You said EXACTLY everything I was thinking. I watched the start of your video paused it and watched the movie, then came back to your video later. It made the experience that much more relatable
I just fast forwarded the fight scene and went straight to the end
Me too😂😂😂😂
I fast forward all the sex scenes because they are so objectifying of black bodies and just pointless..
Your review is spot on!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
No disc to Kelly Rowland because not only did she look absolutely gorgeous and she did an amazing job in the role she was given... as well as the supporting cast ...However...Tyler Perry needs some new fresh bright minded screenwriters to help his character developments. This production unfortunately is giving day time TV soap opera.. not major motion film. 🤷🏽♀
For someone who was constantly being surveilled by the police, I'm trying to understand how he managed to have a whole nightclub filled with people in his basement. None of this movie made sense. It's The Fugitive meets high end black people, meets Scream (any number), meets any movie with way too much dialogue trying to be overly dramatic. In one word, this movie was EXHAUSTING!
Honestly, I don’t think I will watch this one, but the last 2 movies I watched were A Fall From Grace & Acrimony. Those are honestly my 2 favorite they weren’t boring at all. 8/10 for me.
What...are you blind? Or deaf?
Those were the 2 worst movies especially A fall from grace 😂😂
They were okay this is movie is ridiculous
If you liked A Fall From Grace, you gonna loveeeee this one booski, enjoy! 😬
Acrimony was too good, kept watching that one over and over.
Me and my wife were in tears from laughter. This movie is so incoherent, and the big reveal just makes it even more confusing. The paint scene was pure comedy, like yea let’s pour paint on our bodies and have sex😂😂. I respect old school Tyler , but it has been years since I have enjoyed a film of his. This film was literally temptation revamped😂
Totally agree with you!!!
