I totyally disagree Tyler probaly had alot of people and family members who never thought he would get anywhere with his plays, so i can see his point of view on people not supporting you when you chasing your dreams then when you hit it big they all flip the script.
Your over shooting this movie. Lol! She agreed to that, he paid her back and moved on after she got rid of him. This does happen in real life on both sides. Somebody else saw something in him and he moved on. I loved your review, keep up the good work.
That's actually...something that needs to be said. How many times have we heard a black woman going through shit with her man. We do need to make better choices. And often times the poor choices do cost a life. Maybe not in death. But almost the same effect.
girl yes. i feel like people spent so much time discussing how trash the movie was and failed to mention how taraji acted her ass off! i mean really, she played this part flawlessly!
I know right so later on he don’t have to share none of his millions with you either shit I would be happen ya jump shipped now you still broke and miserable and I’m not 😊
I hate that Mel dies at the end. Tyler has a way of punishing black women for wanting more, for wanting humanity , and due recognition. To the uncritical eye, they become unworthy to viewers, the “bad guy.”
csmiller Exactly!!!! Like this story is very common and how it usually ends... if and wen he does become successful after we’ve put up with the bs he doesn’t fight for the one that was down oh noooo.... it’s like welp you lose! Should’ve just stayed down! And that’s the problem! Why sooo many black women stay in bs ass situations!!! You don’t wanna see all yo pay off goin to another woman!!! And that shit does drive you fuckin crazy!!! Been there!!! Now I don’t wait around no try and hold bruthas down! O fuckin well!!!! ✌🏾But they don’t show how these men drive women to these point... you cannot play with ppl in these ways.... then of course he’s the good guy cuz he did get the house back and gave her all that money... but no he couldn’t make him still fight to get his damn wife back! Oh he came up and she finally said fuck it.... so move on to the one who “held it down” wen you “gave up”... give me a damn break!
Yes! Like Tyler gave Journee fucking aids in temptation. Just because she wanted more than her husbands dream and cheated on him. Leaving her to be a disabled lonely marriage counselor SMH
Abidjanaise he was apologetic but still continued to choose his own best interest instead of working to make like better for both him and his wife. Like his wife lost her ovaries and dude STILL worked for his own dream. Crazy shit.
She TOLD HIM "I hope you're not here to get back with me, because it's Not Going to happen" fvck outta here she didn't want that time back until the last second
Thats how i feel too but malinda stayed even despite her confused feelings. Finding out he was a felon and couldnt get a job..she still stayed even tho he told her after the fact..Remember waay in the beginning be4 she wasted 20 years of her life she was walking down the isle sad her sisters wasnt there. Saying" i have more questions then flowers in my bouquet" clearly not sure on if she was making the right choice. For me the movie also put out the message of knowing your self worth. No i dont think robert was a bad person but some ppl arent on tbe same page as u and its ok to move on when theyve shown u they may not be the one. But alot of us women have that savior complex. It normally comes back around to bite u in the ass
@@synergyproduction5119 yes...when she told him she wanted a divorce in the house after he done fucked up tbe delivery she made up her mind that he wasnt gonna ever be successful. Which in a fucked up way makes it easier to move on knowing he's just gonna keep doing the same ol shit. While i get my life together But when he flipped it..naw this isnt a rental suit but my invention paid off. Now her dream life flashed be4 her eyes. I believed she still loved him but was convinced he wasnt gonna make it and that she should just move on. At the point he had moved on too...like i stated. She devoted 20 years to this man even after all the lies and setbacks..most men would be out the door a looong time if it was the other way around. Therefore no more unnecessary times needs to be wasted..and if u hit it big 20years after we first dated then good for u..but to endure all the drama for that long malinda is partial to blame too for her bitterness
Jessica Brown he taunted her. He bought the same apartment, boat and everything else. Any woman would feel some type of way. He just did it in a slick way so he could look innocent like he tried to the whole movie
@@kaylagaloretv8139 yea i wondered about those scenes..it never showed him in that attitude of trying to be hurtful or if hes just unconsciously giving another woman all he promised her. Like when they made love to nina simone..thats what he did with her 2. Idk i wouldnt tolerate 20 years of no help. She blew her inheritance all on him. Never had a plan for herself. She put all her eggs in one basket while he was setting his self up for success even by taking advantage of her kindness cause he knew she loved him.she was willing to invest in him and he knew that..yet had no plan for her own success. .
Didnt you hear no other race will take us--his MO is Black women should be lucky to get a man anyway. Sheeesh self-hate is real he needs years of therapy
The MO.. It ain't love if it aint struggle love. I watched the trailer, read the wiki.. Felt so insulted by this. Glad i didn't go to the cinema for this
Candie P You’re not even making an argument. You’re just deflecting. How does what you said change the fact that we see this same colorist trope over and over again? It doesn’t. If black is black, why is the dark woman always second to the light woman? Make it make sense sis.
Tyler expects black women to stick with a man for 40 + years even if he ain’t shit or ain’t bout shit bc he might make something good one time and be rich ? Like that’s so unrealistic like it may have happened for you but that ain’t the story for everyone
@@williambernardbrown what's the difference from men without money who still treat women like trash/ride or die/come up chick who they eventually kick to the curb when they do get money?
Tyler wants women to accept men “under construction” because he wanted someone to accept him back in the day when he was living in his car. Probably hasn’t gotten over that.
He is writing for & about himself. Furthermore, he's become rich doing it. And that's why he has never gotten any better at film making. His life is this warped validation feedback loop. Between this dude & Nick Cannon (doing it all, being competent at none of it, yet succeeding nonetheless)... I can't help but question my own life choices!
This is probably the most accurate comment. I was thinking the same thing. A person's psychology changes when they feel abandoned by people who are supposed to care about them. FYI.. this was a great movie. Because it has happened plenty of times. To both men and women. People do crazy things for love
This film was a fail. As a psychotherapist, I was really disappointed by the suggestion of Borderline Personality Disorder, especially because it was never completely developed. Tyler Perry has a habit of giving you crumbs, when he could provide something more substantial if he only took the time and better honed his craft. He never fully fleshes out anything, which is unfortunate because he has too many years and projects under his belt to be giving his audience mediocrity.
Exactly! I wanted to know why. Instead we the viewers are just being told that's she "crazy". No development or anything. Just told in little bits that's she's been "off“
He's such the control freak that he has too many projects, too many irons in the fire. He definitely can't delegate duties, he has to write, cast, screen, shoot, choose wardrobe and produce. He's just getting by instead of focusing on the depth of character development.
@Charlene Warren I totally agree. It's as if he highlights the tragedy of our experience with no path to healing the pain. As you said, he cannot confront the reality of the scenarios he plays out which imo really lessens his credibility as a genius writer. A genius writer can connect cause and affect, flesh out the emotions of the characters and go deep dark and ugly to touch the audience and challenge your thinking. TP is good at making others laugh at his characteizations (usually the women) but his perspective as a female is grossly limited. I remember watching Black Girls who consider suicide and cringing at Whoopis role, and Janet Jackson's role when she found out she'd contracted AIDS. Don't even get me started on the mother who lost her kids as the father threw them out of the window. He fails miserably to show our resilience and the depth of our emotional and spiritual humanity bc he refused to collaborate. He's definitely got a god complex! I am enjoying Ryan Coogler, Will Packer Lena Waithe's The Chi, and Ava Duvetnays Queen Sugar. There's so many Mara Brock and Salim Akil, and Yvette Bowser's out here .... I don't understand why there aren't a plethora of fantastic sitcoms, drama's and movies out here. I guess we can't work together and I second your point....they see us make advanced in something and White folks already waiting to rush in and build wealth beyond what we're doing. They've done that since arriving here and observing and then stealing this land. I'll be so happy when we learn to unite, stay on code and really rise in our power. We can't do that until we learn we can't do it alone. TP is the perfect example of that. Spread the wealth and opportunity bruh! Peace and blessings ❣️
afro curly girl that’s only true for his black audience. After getting backlash for not casting a more “diverse” cast, he implemented white folks and other poc into his art. But any real legitimate complaints coming from black people and more specifically black women, he still hasn’t listened. That’s one thing I can’t stand about Tyler perry.
@ la la. There is constructive criticism, and then there is a full on attack of this man. You can browse through the comments alone on this post, and frankly I see why Tyler Perry is not listening to any of these females talking this mess.
@@nadia4999 plenty of comments are full of constructive criticism. And hes like 50 movies deep with the same criticisms keep popping up. He deserves to be clowned at this point. This whole video is proof...
Yes that part is dumb lol but let's go with that for a sec. Do you think whoever she would have left him for earlier would've made 75 mill in 20 years lmmfao
@@williambernardbrown that's not how technology works lol. A battery from 20 years ago wouldn't be worth anything today. And how does an offer jump from $800k to $75mil? Stupid 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not building up any man. People can call me a gold digger if they want to, but men have to come to me when they have their life and financials together. A man who allows his woman to break her back to support him doesn't truly love her.
@Dawni Ray It's really not too much to ask but these men and women raised without fathers and by mothers who instill the belief that just being there is enough because they did it alone, is messing it up for everyone.
Girl, when you said the daughter mortgages her deceased mom's paid house, I almost closed your video. Nothing against you, it's all the bad decisions in the movie!
@Maip video you can go to the bank and take out a line of credit using the equity in the house. Basically, you turn the house into a credit card. But if you can't pay it back, the bank takes the house.
It wasn't even that this dude was broke, he was not working. Like I can be with somebody trying to share the load. But if your dream is bringing in Zero dollars, you better at least have a part time somewhere. Great review!
One of the main things I can't get past is...the company went from an offer of 800,000 to 75 MILLION? ...on technology that's outdated af at this point? Why are you like this, Tyler Perry?! LMAO!
My take on it was that the Prescott thought they had a lot of work to do because of the 20 yr old tech. After seeing the prototype, they realized that it was being properly maintained and worth much more.
I would’ve turned that shit down too! Cause ppl always try to take what you’ve created and then take your idea and make millions even billions of dollars off of your invention!
Never mind it being outdated. He walked out on them after 20 years of them turning him down and calling him in one scene saying not to ever come back. Not to mention that a new employee after the other lady retired who they barely know recommended him. They don't show us her talking to anybody about him. She slept with him one time and found out he lied to her and was cheating on Mel. So, she doesn't know him. Not to mention she brings it up and still looks hurt but she helps him. I also want to point out that at the rate he was buying a boat, rebuying the house (that somehow the people wanted to sell), buying that penthouse (that was somehow available), and giving Mel $10,000,000.00 he should have been broke. I mean didn't he just get the check and it hadn't even cleared.
I just don't get it. His reasoning be like, "the 20 years were repaid in the generous $10M cheque and btw she was mentally ill all along so there, it was her fault..." Seriously? SMH
He didn't even fight for her... Like 20 years of straight support after he fucked up and all she got was a weak as speech before signing the divorce papers. He didn't love her she was a transaction! He wasn't worth death, a melt down, or the lost gas money from taking his behind home at the funeral! I finished that movie confused as hell. Like wtf did I just watch... didn't even get the satisfaction of seeing his no good ass die with her. 😒
Notice when he told her all the things he would get HER...he still did all those things with a different woman so it was clearly never about his wife. Those were his dreams n he could take or leave her
Yes! He didn't really love her. She was just the woman that was most convenient when he was coming up and who he would have allowed in his dream life if they were still together. However, once they broke up, he quickly slotted in the next woman who was convenient to him.
@@firstblessings8777 He didn't love her. He let her work herself to exhaustion by working 2 jobs for 18 years, let her lose her dead mother's house and inheritance, then didn't have the decency to not give the next woman, who he cheated on her in the past with, the same EXACT things he said he would give her, down to the name of the boat. It was never about giving that life to Melinda, it was about having any woman to make his picture perfect life complete. He gave her the house back and 10 mil as an apology because he finally regretted how crappy of a husband he was.
@@sasasavage5047 We watched two different movies. He was grateful but by the time of his success, Melinda had already given up. Like all men he got tempted and cheated, but never forgot her sacrifice. It was only when she jilted him, officially gave him the leeway, that he married the side chick. I know you watched it from a female perspective, but this film was really personal as I felt it spoke to me. Life is not always a bed of roses.
I dated a guy like this....for about 9 months. This woman stayed married to him for almost TWENTY YEARS??????? he wasn't even that abusive or manipulative (then I could understand her being stuck in a cycle of abuse) it's just SENSELESS lol
I regretted watching it! I literally watched it over the weekend with nothing to do, but I still felt horrible for wasting my time!!🙄🙄 The acting was mediocre and the ending was trash!!!😒
and so early too. before marriage. she could have made her clean break. I was annoyed the cheating thing was so soon because she had a chance then to keep moving and not look back!
@@tbd3744 i totally agree it made her seem really stupid and desperate. This movie a big fat no for me. Its a running theme in Tyler Perry's movies and I'm tired of it....so I just not going to support him.
@@angieg.6605 Right? I was expecting the issues to show up much later down the line after yearssssssssssssssssssss of marriage. Not as college kids both still free as a bird.
@Angelica? The cheating scene? Are you referring to the scene where a Young unmarried college boy hotness caught with another female in husband camper? Or the scene when Melinda allowed her anger to overtake her and drove her own car into an entire building? I knew Melinda wouldn’t make slow decisions from the moment they showed her walking to class, and a black guy bumped into her by MISTAKE and she immediately started beating on him. He was a fool for her beauty, and he would have been better off if he simply said excuse me and helped her pick up her papers and walked thr F off!
This could honestly be a joke...that's how horrible the plot is. At the end, Robert should have been hit by a bus. And Mel could be driving it and then wink at the camera.
Nightmare is something that is shown to you in advance. Life is about choices. No man can be in you’re lkfe that you don’t accept in your life. Don’t be your own worst enemy. Focus on that and stop trying to blame others for our choices. That was the bottom line of this movie.
it's fascinating how despite his lengthy filmography, tyler perry has not grown as a filmmaker or improved at all and i don't think he's interested in it, either. i understand people give him a pass because he hires predominately black casts and tells stories centered on black people (women, the most iconic of which is played by himself, which is.. anyways) but good lord. his films are just bad. but their biggest crime is being lazy and uninspired.
He's just interested in pushing out products so he can be a black filmmaker, but I never hear of him saying that he has received mentoring from a fellow filmmaker or him watching director's commentaries of other films. I don't hear of him taking a class, even if online, to hone his skills. Nor do I hear of him reading other scripts for personal growth reasons. He has ideas and really feels like he doesn't need help. But we all need growth, even when we are very good at something, at least that's what we think of ourselves.
To my understanding he's written the plays when he used to tour as Madea and the others he's staged? If so, perhaps in the same vein he's simply interested in cranking out scripts but not necessarily investing in the film aspect of his storylines. Hiring the best would mean paying accordingly for such talent and maybe in not doing so he can keep more people employed in his studios. If this theory holds true in any way the maybe this is deliberate. A big budget film would drain funds he might like placed elsewhere like pockets.
It's awful because you see all the diverse black writers and directors on twitter with great ideas; desperate for funding, advertisement and distribution. Tyler has all of it; yet he hoards it like a dragon in a granny costume.
Why would an “experienced” filmmaker choose to use PowerPoint slides with vocabulary words and their definitions in the movie? The excessive narration drove me insane. It was a terrible, terrible movie. Why isn’t TP’s filmmaking developing, improving in any way after all these years?
Crown Jewel the only filmmaker that can and has done that is Tarantino. But those are used as plot points and it’s done as an homage to early Hollywood films (slide with verbiage along with Samuel L Jackson narrating).
@@jennifermorris2860 exactly. Tarantino being my favorite film maker may have me a bit biased but when he does it it's something great. It's moving a story along but it's not just throwing the plot in your face so they don't gotta waste time portraying it in the movie. It's like a nice, simple chapter title.
Perry has no faith in the intelligence of his audience. He never has. As far as he's concerned, he's one of the talented 10th and the rest of us should just be content with Big Mama's and ruined Black women.
The character Robert is probably supposed to be a stand in for Tyler Perry himself. It's reasonable to assume that many people told Perry that he wouldn't make it and that many woman passed on him, because they weren't about to be sitting around supporting some fool chasing a dream. As a result Perry probably still feels a bit salty about it despite his subsequent success. That's the most likely reason Perry would try to depict Robert as a sympathetic figure instead of the leech that he was.
@@chrislyn1868 I think that's the point we are trying to make: he is such a bad writer that the lines he writes for women sounds something a man would say.
Mckee Ward IV That's actually Biblical... And Mr. Perry is suppose to be a Christian. We let the cussing pass, we let the premarital sex pass, but come on.😒
Yes, but Annalisa, its not about the antiquated tools used, its about the concept. No one to this day has figured out how to make a self recharging battery. So it wouldn't matter how old the concept is/was, he created it.
Some of us (me) got off the train a long time ago but others act like they are chained to their seats! I didn't watch this or even heard of it but wanted to hear the review and was not disappointed...or surprised. 😒
I keep wondering why Tyler Perry keeps getting awards and everybody looks at him like this great director! He is not! I don't get it....I guess everyone has a opinion but I just can't get with the Tyler Perry hype.
I'm sorry but I'm still convinced Why Did I Get Married is his worst movie. I mean Janet Jackson is painted as the bad guy AFTER her husband abused her and drunkly burned their dead child's pictures.
@@egyptianqueen4007 Yes, that was when Tyler was actually decent. The first movie was his best movie (IMO). Then he somehow went downhill from there. I don't see how it is possible to continuously go downhill like Tyler Perry did. Each movie just gets worse and worse. How is that possible? After years...just worse and worse.
All those men that dress up and act out the worst stereotypes about black women absolutely hate black women. Most of the things we spend our lives fighting against and trying to change people's mind about are perpetuated by black men.
He struggles with depicting Black women's humanity like exploring the root of Mel's anger is never really explained. We are shown that she has a defensive attitude before she meets Rob but why? Also why is Mel so co-dependently attached to Rob? Does she have low self esteem? Is she naïve? Nothing Mel does in this movie makes sense.
@ray ck! So why don’t you try your hand At filmmaking. We will wait. Or better live your life where you are not a walking embarrassment. We can wait for that too.
@@nadia4999 right! Why is there so many people talking bad about Tyler Perry and his movies? If you don't like him, his movies, wigs, etc, then don't watch anything of his! It's that simple.
Tyler just recently posted a tweet about "hardwork" in this video he mentions he has no writing staff for ANY of his shows or movies. It alllll makes sense. This movie was trash.
I cant stand most of Tyler Perry's movies. Mainly because of the "angry black women troupe" but also because as a more "alternative" black woman, his characters are so one note and lack diversity and I never... saw myself in any of his characters
@Abidjanaise Diary of a Mad black woman was the first Tyler Perry movie I watched. I was relatively young and even then didnt like the way the female lead was portrayed.
Exactly... I wouldn't make the decisions his characters made when it comes to men...And Robert's broke lazy azz would have never gotten past the whole battery thing with me...I would have been like boy please..Get a degree in electrical engineering, a job in that field, and get back at me.
I'm also pretty "alternative" as a black woman so I feel you there lol. Definitely never felt represented in his films, or most mainstream black media tbh
Tyler Perry is one of the most famous black filmmakers in Hollywood and he devastatingly continues to perpetuate these same old dusty, overused tropes about black women in struggle relationships. Can we see a black woman with a man who is already accomplished and is deserving of her love for once?
You can’t win with him, because in diary of a mad black woman, she’s dating a wealthy guy who treats her really good, except when he’s literally like abusing her and threatening her life and then she leaves him for garbage man, so Tyler just wants you to basically with a bum or you’re not a real one
That battery invention was pure qackery i'm not even an electrical engineer to know that his science was faulty, he made that lady waste her time and loose her mind and Robert still went with another woman smh 😒
I'm no tyler Perry expert but pretty sure most of his work demonstrates his severe and deep seeded issues with black women specifically brown skin black women
sepevans I mean...his mom was abused by his dad for most of his childhood. And I think he was sexually abused at some point in life. I don't think he hates black women. But I think he definitely sees them as symbols of disfunction because that's his experience.
@@TheMorganVEVO and they like to think if an abused woman (mother) stays with her abusive partner (father) she hasn't deserve other than being punished. I had an ex whose father was an asshole but the mother kept the family together. I guess she was often emotional due to dysfunctionality. My ex hated emotional women. For sure ignoring that he was (is?) a narcissistic man-boy who needs to be served (the reason why we didn't come along, I'm unable to cater to grown ass insecure man-boys and I won't take over the servant mother part).
@@williambernardbrown I don't know dude. That man didn't work for over a decade. A person can work two jobs for so long. And still lose the house you owned free and clear? I think it's both. She didn't like the movie because it's unrealistic and the script was shizz.
Can we just talk about the horrible dialogue, bad green screen, and the fact that Taraji P. Henson was only on screen for half the movie? I just don't understand how a wealthy director/producer like Tyler doesnt put money into his projects. The mediocre look of his films are too common for a man who build a new film studio in Atlanta.
When my family and I went to see the latest disaster of a Madea movie, my mom and I literally laughed out loud at him reusing sets from The Haves and the Have Nots like that stupid hotel.
Bruh i was so mad that the dude lived....he literally killed the character that suffered the most. No redemption or anything. Story wise....weak! Film quality weak, writing weak
Tyler doesn't really like black women. We're caricatures instead of actual humans. Always painted as angry, bitter, need a man to save us, loud, & many other stereotypes. After Melinda got the $10mil why couldn't she just move on & grow as a person. Her character just spun out of control.
The problem was that she didn't actually NEED saving at all. There was nothing about her that needed saving. She literally brought everything that happened to her on herself.
“The sisters have every RIGHT to confront him”~ NO~they have every RESPONSIBILITY to confront him, to look out for their sister because she’s too close in the relationship for any real perspective
While I give Tyler Perry credit for employing black actors/creators and exposing them to more mainstream audiences (and making guilty pleasure movie "Why Did I Get Married?"), he's vastly outshined by much more talented and interesting black directors these days. In a world where we have Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, Jordan freaking Peele, Spike Lee, Gina Prince-Brythewood, Barry Jenkins and others, we've pretty much outgrown Tyler Perry's work. At least, I know I have.
I'm like you: I wouldn't want to know of a John Singleton and Spike Lee and the others you mentioned and not try to work as hard or receive instruction to make my movies better. I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER want my movie to be out at the same time as a Lee, Jordan, Singleton, and Coogler, if I was Tyler Perry. He needs some time usher in growth, become a true student of filmmaking.
exactly those stereotypical storylines/characters are no longer acceptable and thank god for ryan coolger, jordan peele, barry jenkins, etc who are breaking grounds for black film representation
That's because that's all hollywood offers her and that's what gets black women noticed. She has been around for a long time and is just recently getting the recognition she deserves.
Girl! Why does he depicts black women as jaded , and angry. In all his movies, this is his scenario. No growth. Nothing. Can he stop. It’s sad enough that everyone sees us this way. There is always a speech of silly enlightenment towards the end. Why? Sigh. We are not desperate. We don’t need trade in our sanity/ our self worth for companionship. I’m good. Stop it Mr. Perry!
@@zero1188 but the hood isn't realistic portrayal of black women. He needs to stop the struggle porn. Way too many educated classy black women out here.
He needs to hire new talent and writers. He need to stop writing 😂😂🤣. Tyler needs to be that ceo who comes and check out the Company one’s in while. For goodness sakes
"Taking men on as construction projects." YES. I hate that trope so freaking much. I feel like Tyler Perry is under this impression that black women ALL have super high standards and we just need to lower them a bit. First off, we're all individuals. Some black women do want to date Jay-Z and nothing less, some aren't so picky. And you know finance can be a huge drain on the relationship. I don't think it's a bad thing to have someone who's financially stable as a standard. The movie should have been about long bob sister saving Melinda from this toxic relationship. I just want to know who hurt Tyler Perry so badly that he can't seem to write a black woman???
I liked the movie because there were many teachable moments. I watched it with my teenage daughter. The biggest takeaway we as women have to be accountable for the poors decisions we make when it comes to men. When Taraji's character purchased that car and he stopped calling and she caught him with the other woman. She should've walked away then. She stayed and he drained the life out of her.
Interesting. It can be used a cautionary tale indeed. I like this concept to make it work hopefully. To say to young woman that even though the film shows that if you stand by your man there is a big pay off at the end, in the process you waste the best years of your life not following your own dreams.
So true! She basically let him drive her completely nuts. SHE let him stay home, instead of using his degree to provide for the wife that he asked for. Somehow that ended up being everybody else's fault.
justin m no dear, I’m sorry I think you misunderstood me. I wasn’t referring to your husband’s income or profession. I was just talking about how she mentioned “trash men” in regards to men with no jobs.... and I thought it was funny how you mentioned the actual profession, as in “garbage man.” I don’t knock anyone’s hustle, especially an honest living.🙂
Yeah his movies are becoming one note now "The bitter black woman that's been wrong by a black man but still face oblivion because...consequences" trope. It's becoming boring and pisses me off that black women are painted in that light.
So this is a movie encompassing every man's thought of black women: they're angry and psycho and irrational and loud and noisy, but they're also hardworking and nuturing and want to love and make love and it's just like.. what are these dudes thinking?? Profiting off of these strawmen they create for their shitty stories and one dimensional characters. Sorry to anyone who hada sit through this movie!
I honestly feel like its a great movie to watch for young girls. I think there were alot of lessons to be learned in this movie, of what not to do in a relationship or a marriage.
Fr I loved the movie because there wasn’t a true villain. Everyone wanted a happy ending fir the woman and a bad one file the guy but life doesn’t work like that. Life is unfair and you should always thrive to make better choices. Her giving up on him is not the point at all like many try to say...she wasted time and energy and she looks for someone to blame BUT SHE IS TO BLAME FOR HER CHOICES. He finally gets what he wanted after destroying someone else’s life and his past ends up catching on to him. There are so many lessons and so many interpretations. The movie isn’t black or white is grey and I love it
there's lessons for everybody! How to not be obsessive, how to not be a deadbeat, how to not be a stupid-ass sidechick, how to ignore red flags, how to waste money, how to become blinded by romance.......all the lessons for these stupid-ass people 🤣
All Tyler Perry’s movies are energy harvest through and through. He is putting out a certain image of black women that we don’t need to continue seeing. He has money but no talent. He’d do better if he let other people involved but he’s too self absorbed. Just look at his Medea movies he practically plays everyone except the children 🙄
One word: CHOICES! Sometimes as women we overlook the signs for whatever reason we tell ourselves and stay in relationships we know that are not healthy and when the straw finally breaks the camels back then we'll walk. Then we feel mistreated taken for granted and feel like a fool and walk around angry, upset at the man when he finds someone else. The man can't do no more to you than what you would allow him to do. I understand being supportive for your man or woman but reality was not in play here. It's one thing to focus on your dreams but not in the process of destroying another. Melinda had the choice to not enter into the relationship or to remain in it that was her choice. I can't say if it was love that kept her there or what I don't know but at times he came across to me as somewhat manipulative, self absorbed and uncaring because he had something that was important to him and at times its like it just didn't click to him that he needed to be doing more. I guess the moral of the story one at least is good things come to those who wait! Ah, I think not. Melinda had some issues cause you have to be out your mind to endure something like this when the chance to cut your loses and run. She says he took the best part of her life but she gave him her life, money, and mind. I paid a $1.50 at the Redbox to watch this. ha ha
Because men are always supposed to be forgiven for their transgressions... but don't let a woman do something then there's no redemption for her 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
The most powerful message I received from watching one of Tyler Perry's movies is to not watch anymore of Tyler Perry's movies. They are cringe worthy-ling bad.
I feel he just doesn't respect the audience enough or he's just run out of ideas or he's getting lazy. You decide. I also feel he doesn't really respect black women. Why does he keep pushing this poor narrative of us?
Bitter black need to all sink at the bottom of the ocean just like Melinda did. Tyler is not that good to just make up stuff. This movie was actually AMAZING and a life lesson as a lot of his movies at. But so many BLACK wine. Are so self destructive and bitter that they can not see outside of themselves, and always want to cry victim pointing fingners.
@@Opbabyyx What's up. What are you confused about. LOL. Melinda asked for a divorce. She got it. She tried to kill her ex-husband and his new wife. Instead she ended up causing herself to drown in an ocean. Any further questions?
Yeah Tyler loves punishing black women for wanting more. Many of his movies is basically him wagging his finger at black women and telling them to be satisfied with what they have (even if what they have is a garbage dude).
There was a change in my opinion when Tyler Perry depicted black stories and then when he started expoilting the black community particularly the female audience. I stopped watching his plays and movies years ago when I realized he wasn’t making his movies better. They were getting worse, and he was just turning a quick buck. Acrimony and the Madea sequels show that. It’s always like he talks at the black women he never attempts to talk from our perspective. His perspective of his female counterparts are stereotypes.
If I had 10 mill, I would live off the interest for the rest of my life and would continously add onto it. Even if it's 1 million, you can live off the interest.
Robert didnt even "decide" to get a job ..they basically made some crazy deal so they wouldn't foreclose on the house. He was forced into it...had they not did that he would still be at the house
All the ways I fucked up my life on Patreon.com/ForHarriet
Have you seen Killing Eve?
I liked it
I totyally disagree Tyler probaly had alot of people and family members who never thought he would get anywhere with his plays, so i can see his point of view on people not supporting you when you chasing your dreams then when you hit it big they all flip the script.
Tyler Perry is making horrible movies so I am no surprise .
Your over shooting this movie. Lol! She agreed to that, he paid her back and moved on after she got rid of him. This does happen in real life on both sides. Somebody else saw something in him and he moved on. I loved your review, keep up the good work.
20 years with no job!!?!
lmao yeah i was like >.> not on my watch
@Anne Day 🤔🤔
I mean even if he had a record he could have gotten a job in the fast food industry
Definitely, unacceptable!
@Tired Siren She can't fix everything!!!😆😆😆
Tyler "black women need to make better choices in men or pay with their life" Perry strikes again
Wow. That's deep.
Its a lesson we need to learn. Look at B smith.
Diabolique oh man. That’s true. He gave one of them HIV/AIDS right?
That's actually...something that needs to be said. How many times have we heard a black woman going through shit with her man. We do need to make better choices. And often times the poor choices do cost a life. Maybe not in death. But almost the same effect.
Danielle Ellis That just brought Whitney Houston to mind
Taraji PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF THIS CHARACTER THO

It sounds like Struggle love. Struggle plot, struggle film. 🤣 The moral of the story..Get out early and save yourself.
@@tbd3744 right. the metophorical anchired to a man. 🤣🤣🤣
I know right so later on he don’t have to share none of his millions with you either shit I would be happen ya jump shipped now you still broke and miserable and I’m not 😊
The struggle was real to make this film
Basically, what most black women go through daily.
thats how i felt, most of that movie was Taraji's characters fault. she should have left
I hate that Mel dies at the end. Tyler has a way of punishing black women for wanting more, for wanting humanity , and due recognition. To the uncritical eye, they become unworthy to viewers, the “bad guy.”
Yes!! Thank you, black struggle love porn!!!
csmiller Exactly!!!! Like this story is very common and how it usually ends... if and wen he does become successful after we’ve put up with the bs he doesn’t fight for the one that was down oh noooo.... it’s like welp you lose! Should’ve just stayed down! And that’s the problem! Why sooo many black women stay in bs ass situations!!! You don’t wanna see all yo pay off goin to another woman!!! And that shit does drive you fuckin crazy!!! Been there!!! Now I don’t wait around no try and hold bruthas down! O fuckin well!!!! ✌🏾But they don’t show how these men drive women to these point... you cannot play with ppl in these ways.... then of course he’s the good guy cuz he did get the house back and gave her all that money... but no he couldn’t make him still fight to get his damn wife back! Oh he came up and she finally said fuck it.... so move on to the one who “held it down” wen you “gave up”... give me a damn break!
Because he has extreme generation trauma. Self-hate is real
Yes! Like Tyler gave Journee fucking aids in temptation. Just because she wanted more than her husbands dream and cheated on him. Leaving her to be a disabled lonely marriage counselor SMH
Abidjanaise he was apologetic but still continued to choose his own best interest instead of working to make like better for both him and his wife. Like his wife lost her ovaries and dude STILL worked for his own dream. Crazy shit.
What people failed to realize was yes he paid Melinda back the money but he could never give her back the time he wasted and heartbreak!!!
She TOLD HIM "I hope you're not here to get back with me, because it's Not Going to happen" fvck outta here she didn't want that time back until the last second
Thats how i feel too but malinda stayed even despite her confused feelings. Finding out he was a felon and couldnt get a job..she still stayed even tho he told her after the fact..Remember waay in the beginning be4 she wasted 20 years of her life she was walking down the isle sad her sisters wasnt there. Saying" i have more questions then flowers in my bouquet" clearly not sure on if she was making the right choice. For me the movie also put out the message of knowing your self worth. No i dont think robert was a bad person but some ppl arent on tbe same page as u and its ok to move on when theyve shown u they may not be the one. But alot of us women have that savior complex. It normally comes back around to bite u in the ass
@@synergyproduction5119 yes...when she told him she wanted a divorce in the house after he done fucked up tbe delivery she made up her mind that he wasnt gonna ever be successful. Which in a fucked up way makes it easier to move on knowing he's just gonna keep doing the same ol shit. While i get my life together But when he flipped it..naw this isnt a rental suit but my invention paid off. Now her dream life flashed be4 her eyes. I believed she still loved him but was convinced he wasnt gonna make it and that she should just move on. At the point he had moved on too...like i stated. She devoted 20 years to this man even after all the lies and setbacks..most men would be out the door a looong time if it was the other way around. Therefore no more unnecessary times needs to be wasted..and if u hit it big 20years after we first dated then good for u..but to endure all the drama for that long malinda is partial to blame too for her bitterness
Jessica Brown he taunted her. He bought the same apartment, boat and everything else. Any woman would feel some type of way. He just did it in a slick way so he could look innocent like he tried to the whole movie
@@kaylagaloretv8139 yea i wondered about those scenes..it never showed him in that attitude of trying to be hurtful or if hes just unconsciously giving another woman all he promised her. Like when they made love to nina simone..thats what he did with her 2. Idk i wouldnt tolerate 20 years of no help. She blew her inheritance all on him. Never had a plan for herself. She put all her eggs in one basket while he was setting his self up for success even by taking advantage of her kindness cause he knew she loved him.she was willing to invest in him and he knew that..yet had no plan for her own success. .
Sounds real. Too many black women taking care of men that aren't doing anything for them.
Ty Love right! This is what happens in real life. Some women choose to put up with the foolishness.
People are actually blaming the woman in this movie too smh...
Anesha Brown skrugga love just feels so good.
Good thing i am going out with a japanese woman and extremely successful
Fact's
And all of his movies always have the black women accepting and taking in the poor broke black man.
Didnt you hear no other race will take us--his MO is Black women should be lucky to get a man anyway. Sheeesh self-hate is real he needs years of therapy
The MO.. It ain't love if it aint struggle love. I watched the trailer, read the wiki.. Felt so insulted by this. Glad i didn't go to the cinema for this
@@jazminewaters2404 don't forget that struggle love (the struggle seems to be so one sided)
@@CandieP She was biracial
Candie P You’re not even making an argument. You’re just deflecting. How does what you said change the fact that we see this same colorist trope over and over again? It doesn’t. If black is black, why is the dark woman always second to the light woman? Make it make sense sis.
Who the heck is this Black man depicting same stereotypical black broken women--Tyler needs to fix his trauma and stop deflecting.
jazmine Waters period
☕️☕️☕️
Wow, he really wrote the "I didn't have enough faith in my deadbeat man" movie?
Tyler expects black women to stick with a man for 40 + years even if he ain’t shit or ain’t bout shit bc he might make something good one time and be rich ? Like that’s so unrealistic like it may have happened for you but that ain’t the story for everyone
SMH. This is the reason why men with money treat women like trash
NJ4K Are you really surprised?
@@CeliniacForLife not really
@@williambernardbrown what's the difference from men without money who still treat women like trash/ride or die/come up chick who they eventually kick to the curb when they do get money?
Tyler wants women to accept men “under construction” because he wanted someone to accept him back in the day when he was living in his car. Probably hasn’t gotten over that.
He is writing for & about himself. Furthermore, he's become rich doing it. And that's why he has never gotten any better at film making. His life is this warped validation feedback loop. Between this dude & Nick Cannon (doing it all, being competent at none of it, yet succeeding nonetheless)... I can't help but question my own life choices!
It's true. A woman should have supported his dreams.
This is probably the most accurate comment. I was thinking the same thing. A person's psychology changes when they feel abandoned by people who are supposed to care about them.
FYI.. this was a great movie.
Because it has happened plenty of times.
To both men and women.
People do crazy things for love
Why are you shaming him for that? lots of women crave that unconditional acceptance too
Make sense
This film was a fail. As a psychotherapist, I was really disappointed by the suggestion of Borderline Personality Disorder, especially because it was never completely developed. Tyler Perry has a habit of giving you crumbs, when he could provide something more substantial if he only took the time and better honed his craft. He never fully fleshes out anything, which is unfortunate because he has too many years and projects under his belt to be giving his audience mediocrity.
Exactly! I wanted to know why. Instead we the viewers are just being told that's she "crazy". No development or anything. Just told in little bits that's she's been "off“
What disorder was it that she had? Or what would you call it?
He's such the control freak that he has too many projects, too many irons in the fire. He definitely can't delegate duties, he has to write, cast, screen, shoot, choose wardrobe and produce. He's just getting by instead of focusing on the depth of character development.
@Charlene Warren I'm getting my entire life in this comment section. So much intellectually dialogue.
@Charlene Warren I totally agree. It's as if he highlights the tragedy of our experience with no path to healing the pain. As you said, he cannot confront the reality of the scenarios he plays out which imo really lessens his credibility as a genius writer. A genius writer can connect cause and affect, flesh out the emotions of the characters and go deep dark and ugly to touch the audience and challenge your thinking. TP is good at making others laugh at his characteizations (usually the women) but his perspective as a female is grossly limited. I remember watching Black Girls who consider suicide and cringing at Whoopis role, and Janet Jackson's role when she found out she'd contracted AIDS. Don't even get me started on the mother who lost her kids as the father threw them out of the window. He fails miserably to show our resilience and the depth of our emotional and spiritual humanity bc he refused to collaborate. He's definitely got a god complex! I am enjoying Ryan Coogler, Will Packer Lena Waithe's The Chi, and Ava Duvetnays Queen Sugar. There's so many Mara Brock and Salim Akil, and Yvette Bowser's out here ....
I don't understand why there aren't a plethora of fantastic sitcoms, drama's and movies out here. I guess we can't work together and I second your point....they see us make advanced in something and White folks already waiting to rush in and build wealth beyond what we're doing. They've done that since arriving here and observing and then stealing this land. I'll be so happy when we learn to unite, stay on code and really rise in our power. We can't do that until we learn we can't do it alone. TP is the perfect example of that. Spread the wealth and opportunity bruh!
Peace and blessings ❣️
I don't see Tyler Perry's movies getting any better because he can't take criticism.
afro curly girl that’s only true for his black audience. After getting backlash for not casting a more “diverse” cast, he implemented white folks and other poc into his art. But any real legitimate complaints coming from black people and more specifically black women, he still hasn’t listened. That’s one thing I can’t stand about Tyler perry.
Or his tv shows.
jeanettesdaughter Madea is going away! Not Tyler Perry, pretty sure he will still be behind the scenes. Even acting, just not as Madea
@ la la. There is constructive criticism, and then there is a full on attack of this man. You can browse through the comments alone on this post, and frankly I see why Tyler Perry is not listening to any of these females talking this mess.
@@nadia4999 plenty of comments are full of constructive criticism. And hes like 50 movies deep with the same criticisms keep popping up. He deserves to be clowned at this point. This whole video is proof...

Tyler Perry has never loved a black woman who wasn’t his mama

Well I take the movie as black women need to love themselves more and stop holding men down.

I'm not building up any man. People can call me a gold digger if they want to, but men have to come to me when they have their life and financials together. A man who allows his woman to break her back to support him doesn't truly love her.
@Dawni Ray It's really not too much to ask but these men and women raised without fathers and by mothers who instill the belief that just being there is enough because they did it alone, is messing it up for everyone.

That goes both ways,women have to bring something as well, so the question is what do you bring to the table to evaluate the relationship?

@Maip video you can go to the bank and take out a line of credit using the equity in the house. Basically, you turn the house into a credit card. But if you can't pay it back, the bank takes the house.

It wasn't even that this dude was broke, he was not working. Like I can be with somebody trying to share the load. But if your dream is bringing in Zero dollars, you better at least have a part time somewhere. Great review!
But if that man came back bought you a house and dapped you up with 10 million would you forgive him?
@@jordanfauntleroy2013 you’re asking something that’s barely realistic for a lot of people.

When they wanna be petty they find a way.
Kingsir da Boss 😂
🤣🤣🤣 RIGHT! She wasn’t wet, so she didn’t swim! A boat woulda made noise! Did she row her behind to the yacht?!🤣🤣
One of the main things I can't get past is...the company went from an offer of 800,000 to 75 MILLION? ...on technology that's outdated af at this point?
Why are you like this, Tyler Perry?! LMAO!
🤣🤣🤣
My take on it was that the Prescott thought they had a lot of work to do because of the 20 yr old tech. After seeing the prototype, they realized that it was being properly maintained and worth much more.
Didn't they say 150million in court?
I would’ve turned that shit down too! Cause ppl always try to take what you’ve created and then take your idea and make millions even billions of dollars off of your invention!
Never mind it being outdated. He walked out on them after 20 years of them turning him down and calling him in one scene saying not to ever come back. Not to mention that a new employee after the other lady retired who they barely know recommended him. They don't show us her talking to anybody about him. She slept with him one time and found out he lied to her and was cheating on Mel. So, she doesn't know him. Not to mention she brings it up and still looks hurt but she helps him. I also want to point out that at the rate he was buying a boat, rebuying the house (that somehow the people wanted to sell), buying that penthouse (that was somehow available), and giving Mel $10,000,000.00 he should have been broke. I mean didn't he just get the check and it hadn't even cleared.
Real second half to the movie: Malinda runs in to Robert ten years later still trying to sell his battery. The end.

Can we understand that the side chick had the ability to get him that deal but chose not to until he was free?
And she still got the yacht. I peeped that.
Tyler made the mooching cheater look like a hero when he paid her back! Let's be real that would not happen in the real world!
I just don't get it. His reasoning be like, "the 20 years were repaid in the generous $10M cheque and btw she was mentally ill all along so there, it was her fault..." Seriously? SMH
Be let’s be real Mel had every opportunity to leave the relationship. She just kept digging herself in the hole
He didn't even fight for her... Like 20 years of straight support after he fucked up and all she got was a weak as speech before signing the divorce papers. He didn't love her she was a transaction! He wasn't worth death, a melt down, or the lost gas money from taking his behind home at the funeral! I finished that movie confused as hell. Like wtf did I just watch... didn't even get the satisfaction of seeing his no good ass die with her. 😒
Sports Actuary a hole he created at that... like... I don’t get it.
But if it did, would that be enough? I would’ve took the keys to my house, car, the check and would’ve kept it moving! ✌🏾
Notice when he told her all the things he would get HER...he still did all those things with a different woman so it was clearly never about his wife. Those were his dreams n he could take or leave her
Yes! He didn't really love her. She was just the woman that was most convenient when he was coming up and who he would have allowed in his dream life if they were still together. However, once they broke up, he quickly slotted in the next woman who was convenient to him.
@@sasasavage5047
That's not true. Melinda gave up on the eve of his success and loosed everything. It's just so sad but real life is often like that.
@@firstblessings8777 He didn't love her. He let her work herself to exhaustion by working 2 jobs for 18 years, let her lose her dead mother's house and inheritance, then didn't have the decency to not give the next woman, who he cheated on her in the past with, the same EXACT things he said he would give her, down to the name of the boat. It was never about giving that life to Melinda, it was about having any woman to make his picture perfect life complete. He gave her the house back and 10 mil as an apology because he finally regretted how crappy of a husband he was.
@@sasasavage5047
We watched two different movies. He was grateful but by the time of his success, Melinda had already given up. Like all men he got tempted and cheated, but never forgot her sacrifice. It was only when she jilted him, officially gave him the leeway, that he married the side chick. I know you watched it from a female perspective, but this film was really personal as I felt it spoke to me. Life is not always a bed of roses.
First Blessings
He should have done SOMETHING SOONER. That's what a REAL man does.
So he understood the concept of working while persuing your dreams AFTER she kicked him out. Interesting
A GENIUS observation. So damn true!
I hated Robert the entire movie I felt he was more delusional rather than a sad puppy dog it frustrated me
I dated a guy like this....for about 9 months. This woman stayed married to him for almost TWENTY YEARS??????? he wasn't even that abusive or manipulative (then I could understand her being stuck in a cycle of abuse) it's just SENSELESS lol
This movie stressed me out and I didn't even watch it.

After the cheating scene I was done with the whole movie. In my head, I’m like who did he write this movie for.
Angelica Gervais He wrote for the women who are with ain’t sh*t men to tell them to preserve unless they miss out.
and so early too. before marriage. she could have made her clean break. I was annoyed the cheating thing was so soon because she had a chance then to keep moving and not look back!

@@angieg.6605 Right? I was expecting the issues to show up much later down the line after yearssssssssssssssssssss of marriage. Not as college kids both still free as a bird.
@Angelica? The cheating scene? Are you referring to the scene where a Young unmarried college boy hotness caught with another female in husband camper? Or the scene when Melinda allowed her anger to overtake her and drove her own car into an entire building? I knew Melinda wouldn’t make slow decisions from the moment they showed her walking to class, and a black guy bumped into her by MISTAKE and she immediately started beating on him. He was a fool for her beauty, and he would have been better off if he simply said excuse me and helped her pick up her papers and walked thr F off!
This could honestly be a joke...that's how horrible the plot is. At the end, Robert should have been hit by a bus. And Mel could be driving it and then wink at the camera.

@@nadia4999 definitely wasnt the lesson. It was typical struggle love can earn you the world BS
You have black men out here expecting black women to be a Melinda to him too. Not me 😷
Of course Tyler Perry is championing black women becoming Build a Bears and building up black men, he probably had a Build a Bear himself.
K H
That's 😥
NO thats exactly what he is saying is bad
Build a Bears 🐻 lol
🤣😝
Yep, he was homeless with a dream, and probably still in the closet looking for some woman to fix him....
it's fascinating how despite his lengthy filmography, tyler perry has not grown as a filmmaker or improved at all and i don't think he's interested in it, either. i understand people give him a pass because he hires predominately black casts and tells stories centered on black people (women, the most iconic of which is played by himself, which is.. anyways) but good lord. his films are just bad. but their biggest crime is being lazy and uninspired.
He's just interested in pushing out products so he can be a black filmmaker, but I never hear of him saying that he has received mentoring from a fellow filmmaker or him watching director's commentaries of other films. I don't hear of him taking a class, even if online, to hone his skills. Nor do I hear of him reading other scripts for personal growth reasons. He has ideas and really feels like he doesn't need help. But we all need growth, even when we are very good at something, at least that's what we think of ourselves.
I thought this was growth for Tyler. Hey we all grow at different rates. Sometimes slowly
@@1love847 oh damn I can't tell if you're being facetious or not 😭
To my understanding he's written the plays when he used to tour as Madea and the others he's staged? If so, perhaps in the same vein he's simply interested in cranking out scripts but not necessarily investing in the film aspect of his storylines. Hiring the best would mean paying accordingly for such talent and maybe in not doing so he can keep more people employed in his studios. If this theory holds true in any way the maybe this is deliberate. A big budget film would drain funds he might like placed elsewhere like pockets.
It's awful because you see all the diverse black writers and directors on twitter with great ideas; desperate for funding, advertisement and distribution. Tyler has all of it; yet he hoards it like a dragon in a granny costume.
why is the light skin woman always the angel?
@Shaniya Ray in this movie too. She is light skinned but not red boned
@Shaniya Ray angel meaning stands by her man
And light skin men are saviours. Most of the bad men in his movies are dark skin. Tyler has an issue with colorism among other things.
Who is light skinned here?
But the new wife was not light skinned 😒. Only light skinned people in the main cast were Melinda's boyfriend and her bff.
His characters are so 1 dimensional.... c'mon Tyler Perry. Not cute.
Why would an “experienced” filmmaker choose to use PowerPoint slides with vocabulary words and their definitions in the movie? The excessive narration drove me insane. It was a terrible, terrible movie. Why isn’t TP’s filmmaking developing, improving in any way after all these years?
Crown Jewel because people continue to eat it up; so he feels he doesn’t have to grow. It’s frustrating
Crown Jewel the only filmmaker that can and has done that is Tarantino. But those are used as plot points and it’s done as an homage to early Hollywood films (slide with verbiage along with Samuel L Jackson narrating).
@@jennifermorris2860 exactly. Tarantino being my favorite film maker may have me a bit biased but when he does it it's something great. It's moving a story along but it's not just throwing the plot in your face so they don't gotta waste time portraying it in the movie. It's like a nice, simple chapter title.
Perry has no faith in the intelligence of his audience. He never has. As far as he's concerned, he's one of the talented 10th and the rest of us should just be content with Big Mama's and ruined Black women.
@@LadyWisteriaaTP is your favorite filmmaker??? Say it ain't so! 🤯
The character Robert is probably supposed to be a stand in for Tyler Perry himself. It's reasonable to assume that many people told Perry that he wouldn't make it and that many woman passed on him, because they weren't about to be sitting around supporting some fool chasing a dream. As a result Perry probably still feels a bit salty about it despite his subsequent success. That's the most likely reason Perry would try to depict Robert as a sympathetic figure instead of the leech that he was.
I like your perspective!!!! I believe also
You hit the nail RIGHT on the head!!!
Well said 👏🏾💯
Woman???? You mean men, Perry’s girlfriend is a beard.
Very plausible!
God this movie was horrible.
That scene of Taraji coming at her sisters are the words of a man, not a woman.

Yes, but Annalisa, its not about the antiquated tools used, its about the concept. No one to this day has figured out how to make a self recharging battery. So it wouldn't matter how old the concept is/was, he created it.
@@EvangelistToyaHasia exactly.
Sematiko Douglas Thats not the point. The point....wouldn't his technology be outdated by now? The tech world is fast moving.
Sad some black folk cant see there has been no growth in his film making!
Some of us (me) got off the train a long time ago but others act like they are chained to their seats! I didn't watch this or even heard of it but wanted to hear the review and was not disappointed...or surprised. 😒
That's particularly why I don't watch any longer not get excited
I keep wondering why Tyler Perry keeps getting awards and everybody looks at him like this great director! He is not! I don't get it....I guess everyone has a opinion but I just can't get with the Tyler Perry hype.
I’m sick of the scorned woman narrative tbh
I'm sorry but I'm still convinced Why Did I Get Married is his worst movie. I mean Janet Jackson is painted as the bad guy AFTER her husband abused her and drunkly burned their dead child's pictures.
DumbPunk That was the second one, but yeah.
The Why Did I Get Married Movies are kinda a mess if I remember them right
I think they were his best actually.
The first movie was good. It was the second one that wasn't good.
@@egyptianqueen4007 Yes, that was when Tyler was actually decent. The first movie was his best movie (IMO). Then he somehow went downhill from there. I don't see how it is possible to continuously go downhill like Tyler Perry did. Each movie just gets worse and worse. How is that possible? After years...just worse and worse.
My problem with Tyler Perry is that he does not seem to like black women.
Him and Lee Daniels.
I agree he should not be the one to tell black women’s stories
All those men that dress up and act out the worst stereotypes about black women absolutely hate black women. Most of the things we spend our lives fighting against and trying to change people's mind about are perpetuated by black men.
He struggles with depicting Black women's humanity like exploring the root of Mel's anger is never really explained. We are shown that she has a defensive attitude before she meets Rob but why? Also why is Mel so co-dependently attached to Rob? Does she have low self esteem? Is she naïve? Nothing Mel does in this movie makes sense.
@JuniorX EastNY You and me both
Tyler Perry has always been a sick embarassment. He's a weird narcissist who use racist Jim Crow era stereotypes in ALL his films.
Thank you
@ray ck! So why don’t you try your hand At filmmaking. We will wait. Or better live your life where you are not a walking embarrassment. We can wait for that too.
@@nadia4999 right! Why is there so many people talking bad about Tyler Perry and his movies? If you don't like him, his movies, wigs, etc, then don't watch anything of his! It's that simple.
Thisss!
Tyler just recently posted a tweet about "hardwork" in this video he mentions he has no writing staff for ANY of his shows or movies. It alllll makes sense. This movie was trash.
He needs to now use his platform to bring fourth new writers with fresh ideas
He's movies and series are terrible.
"Im against taking on men as construction projects." PREACH
I cant stand most of Tyler Perry's movies. Mainly because of the "angry black women troupe" but also because as a more "alternative" black woman, his characters are so one note and lack diversity and I never... saw myself in any of his characters
@Abidjanaise Diary of a Mad black woman was the first Tyler Perry movie I watched. I was relatively young and even then didnt like the way the female lead was portrayed.
Yeah I never saw myself either
Exactly... I wouldn't make the decisions his characters made when it comes to men...And Robert's broke lazy azz would have never gotten past the whole battery thing with me...I would have been like boy please..Get a degree in electrical engineering, a job in that field, and get back at me.
I'm also pretty "alternative" as a black woman so I feel you there lol. Definitely never felt represented in his films, or most mainstream black media tbh
@@Heavenhellhaleema same
I'm offended that he used Nina Simones music in this.
Exactly! I don't know who offended me more by using her music - Love & Hip Hop Atlanta or this Tyler Perry flick
I thought that was the best part of the movie!🤷🏾🤣🤣
i never seen it so no judging😣
Right!
Mika Fryer that’s what I kept saying. How dare he. The blood is against this filth
Tyler Perry is one of the most famous black filmmakers in Hollywood and he devastatingly continues to perpetuate these same old dusty, overused tropes about black women in struggle relationships. Can we see a black woman with a man who is already accomplished and is deserving of her love for once?
You can’t win with him, because in diary of a mad black woman, she’s dating a wealthy guy who treats her really good, except when he’s literally like abusing her and threatening her life and then she leaves him for garbage man, so Tyler just wants you to basically with a bum or you’re not a real one
That battery invention was pure qackery i'm not even an electrical engineer to know that his science was faulty, he made that lady waste her time and loose her mind and Robert still went with another woman smh 😒
I'm no tyler Perry expert but pretty sure most of his work demonstrates his severe and deep seeded issues with black women specifically brown skin black women
sepevans I mean...his mom was abused by his dad for most of his childhood. And I think he was sexually abused at some point in life. I don't think he hates black women. But I think he definitely sees them as symbols of disfunction because that's his experience.
@@TheMorganVEVO and they like to think if an abused woman (mother) stays with her abusive partner (father) she hasn't deserve other than being punished. I had an ex whose father was an asshole but the mother kept the family together. I guess she was often emotional due to dysfunctionality. My ex hated emotional women. For sure ignoring that he was (is?) a narcissistic man-boy who needs to be served (the reason why we didn't come along, I'm unable to cater to grown ass insecure man-boys and I won't take over the servant mother part).
Deep seated.
And dark skin black men.
I feel like Tarija did this film as a “favor” for Tyler Perry. I think she knows the script wasn’t shit. 🤷🏻♀️
It took a lot out of her

No, it wasn't what you wanted it to be. It told you to be supportive of your man even when he's down that's the real reason you hated this movie
@@williambernardbrown I don't know dude. That man didn't work for over a decade. A person can work two jobs for so long. And still lose the house you owned free and clear? I think it's both. She didn't like the movie because it's unrealistic and the script was shizz.

Hold my ashtray. 😂
Just watched AFFG and came here to make that exact comment 😂😂😂😂
Can we just talk about the horrible dialogue, bad green screen, and the fact that Taraji P. Henson was only on screen for half the movie? I just don't understand how a wealthy director/producer like Tyler doesnt put money into his projects. The mediocre look of his films are too common for a man who build a new film studio in Atlanta.
He doesn't put money into his films because he puts it in his pockets...which is unfortunate.
it's how he stays wealthy? LOL
Because the whole movie was filmed in 6 days. For real
That last scene/set was ridiculous! You could absolutely tell that this movie shot in two weeks.
When my family and I went to see the latest disaster of a Madea movie, my mom and I literally laughed out loud at him reusing sets from The Haves and the Have Nots like that stupid hotel.
On the press run, Tyler was talking about how he shot the film in only 13 DAYS. Lol he said it like he was so proud of it
It looks like it was shot in two weeks... Horrible piece of shyt...lol
I think I actually saw an interview somewhere where he said he filmed it in 8 days.
It shows
Wow
Look like he filmed it in a day with all those green screen moments.lol it’s sick
HER CHARACTER DESERVED BETTER
Bruh i was so mad that the dude lived....he literally killed the character that suffered the most. No redemption or anything. Story wise....weak! Film quality weak, writing weak
Akielah Wiggins her poor sis now have to cry over the death of they sis proving them right about that guy even more.
Tyler doesn't really like black women. We're caricatures instead of actual humans. Always painted as angry, bitter, need a man to save us, loud, & many other stereotypes. After Melinda got the $10mil why couldn't she just move on & grow as a person. Her character just spun out of control.
The problem was that she didn't actually NEED saving at all. There was nothing about her that needed saving. She literally brought everything that happened to her on herself.
@@InquiringMindscrew Exactly...I did not feel sorry for Melinda at all! She was dumb as hell.
And the establishment of "her crazy" in the beginning. Like why does that have to be the thing about her?
@@nadia4999 👏👏👏... dang you spoke some truth!!!
@Jane Patton. Thanks you’re making me blush. 😉
GIRL I HATED THIS MOVIE. AND I AM THE MEAN SISTER!
thank you for your service.
“The sisters have every RIGHT to confront him”~ NO~they have every RESPONSIBILITY to confront him, to look out for their sister because she’s too close in the relationship for any real perspective
Tyler has this one sided mind when it comes to black women 🤦🏾♀️
To punish them, rich and poor, educated and not educated etc.
"I cannot believe someone read this script and said, 'Yeah, that's it. Let's go with that'". The way you said that made me laugh out loud.
😂😂😂😂 I blame Oprah
Yesssssss! I brought that back twice
While I give Tyler Perry credit for employing black actors/creators and exposing them to more mainstream audiences (and making guilty pleasure movie "Why Did I Get Married?"), he's vastly outshined by much more talented and interesting black directors these days. In a world where we have Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, Jordan freaking Peele, Spike Lee, Gina Prince-Brythewood, Barry Jenkins and others, we've pretty much outgrown Tyler Perry's work. At least, I know I have.
I'm like you: I wouldn't want to know of a John Singleton and Spike Lee and the others you mentioned and not try to work as hard or receive instruction to make my movies better. I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER want my movie to be out at the same time as a Lee, Jordan, Singleton, and Coogler, if I was Tyler Perry. He needs some time usher in growth, become a true student of filmmaking.
This is exactly how I feel about it. We've evolved and Tyler Perry simply has not.
exactly those stereotypical storylines/characters are no longer acceptable and thank god for ryan coolger, jordan peele, barry jenkins, etc who are breaking grounds for black film representation
Ever since i watched When They See Us....Tyler Perry has become nonexistent to me.
Don't forget the late great John Singleton and Melvin Van Peebles as well as Mario Van Peebles, Robert Townsend etc.
Tyler Perry is the broke black man in his movies, especially in this one.
Taraji mostly plays characters who need to get revenge or is mad....I just came to this conclusion
That's a lie though
That's because that's all hollywood offers her and that's what gets black women noticed. She has been around for a long time and is just recently getting the recognition she deserves.
Hidden figures? Benjamin Button? Hustle and flow? Date night? The karate kid? Lol
Okay, my bad. My statement was false
She looks mad naturally cause her eyebrows like ice cube or that one guy in diary of a mad black woman who shot the main characters husband.
"A thriller?!" "Then it Takes a turn... This is where he's gonna try to thrill us." Lmaoooo
That was so right. It took to long to take that turn so I must agree it was two genres in one.
Girl! Why does he depicts black women as jaded , and angry. In all his movies, this is his scenario. No growth. Nothing. Can he stop. It’s sad enough that everyone sees us this way. There is always a speech of silly enlightenment towards the end. Why? Sigh. We are not desperate. We don’t need trade in our sanity/ our self worth for companionship. I’m good. Stop it Mr. Perry!
Carline Daniel he’s a hater
Can some tell Tyler Perry that black woman dont act like this? Please? Please?
Well...some do....but I'm sure it's an incredibly small percentage.
Lmao. You never been to the hood. Very common occurrence
@@zero1188 but the hood isn't realistic portrayal of black women. He needs to stop the struggle porn. Way too many educated classy black women out here.
He needs to hire new talent and writers. He need to stop writing 😂😂🤣. Tyler needs to be that ceo who comes and check out the Company one’s in while. For goodness sakes
"Taking men on as construction projects."
YES. I hate that trope so freaking much. I feel like Tyler Perry is under this impression that black women ALL have super high standards and we just need to lower them a bit. First off, we're all individuals. Some black women do want to date Jay-Z and nothing less, some aren't so picky. And you know finance can be a huge drain on the relationship. I don't think it's a bad thing to have someone who's financially stable as a standard.
The movie should have been about long bob sister saving Melinda from this toxic relationship.
I just want to know who hurt Tyler Perry so badly that he can't seem to write a black woman???
I liked the movie because there were many teachable moments. I watched it with my teenage daughter. The biggest takeaway we as women have to be accountable for the poors decisions we make when it comes to men. When Taraji's character purchased that car and he stopped calling and she caught him with the other woman. She should've walked away then. She stayed and he drained the life out of her.
Interesting. It can be used a cautionary tale indeed. I like this concept to make it work hopefully. To say to young woman that even though the film shows that if you stand by your man there is a big pay off at the end, in the process you waste the best years of your life not following your own dreams.
rcjanelle1 I agree.
So true! She basically let him drive her completely nuts. SHE let him stay home, instead of using his degree to provide for the wife that he asked for. Somehow that ended up being everybody else's fault.
Lol the only lesson I could learn from this movie is that choosing the wrong man can result in your untimely death. And I already knew that 💀
WoahhItsMonica 💀
This was almost similar to "The Diary of an Angry Black Woman" so over this narrative.
My husband is a garbage man with his cdl he brings home over $1000.00 a week so we good🤷. Don't knock being a garbage man lol.

I was just talking about how she mentioned “trash men” in regards to men with no jobs.... and I thought it was funny how you mentioned the actual profession, as in “garbage man.” I don’t knock anyone’s hustle, especially an honest living.🙂
@@SpamNeggs23 We are not trying to be millionaires. We live comfortably and we are not struggling. The more money you have the more problems you have.
@justin m I know that’s right! Happy New Year, continue to be blessed!
Yeah his movies are becoming one note now "The bitter black woman that's been wrong by a black man but still face oblivion because...consequences" trope. It's becoming boring and pisses me off that black women are painted in that light.
Ashley Nicole what pisses me off is that so many of us can’t see this and choose to still support him after so long.
That's because black Americans are broke so it's easy to sell us anything about being rich or the promise of being rich...or being broke
So this is a movie encompassing every man's thought of black women: they're angry and psycho and irrational and loud and noisy, but they're also hardworking and nuturing and want to love and make love and it's just like.. what are these dudes thinking?? Profiting off of these strawmen they create for their shitty stories and one dimensional characters. Sorry to anyone who hada sit through this movie!
I honestly feel like its a great movie to watch for young girls. I think there were alot of lessons to be learned in this movie, of what not to do in a relationship or a marriage.
@Clockwork unfortunately there are a lot of fathers who are good for nothing. Consider yourself fortunate that wasn’t your experience
Fr I loved the movie because there wasn’t a true villain. Everyone wanted a happy ending fir the woman and a bad one file the guy but life doesn’t work like that. Life is unfair and you should always thrive to make better choices. Her giving up on him is not the point at all like many try to say...she wasted time and energy and she looks for someone to blame BUT SHE IS TO BLAME FOR HER CHOICES. He finally gets what he wanted after destroying someone else’s life and his past ends up catching on to him. There are so many lessons and so many interpretations. The movie isn’t black or white is grey and I love it
It gets pretty back and white by the end.
there's lessons for everybody! How to not be obsessive, how to not be a deadbeat, how to not be a stupid-ass sidechick, how to ignore red flags, how to waste money, how to become blinded by romance.......all the lessons for these stupid-ass people 🤣
The melinda character is so unbelievable.
Mike John ungrateful? What should she be grateful for?
she WHATT. GETS CAUGHT IN THE ANCHOR AND FALLS OFF THE BOAT 😭😭😭😭 ICANT
Lmao this movie is like fantasy for straight black men
The fuck it is... This is NOT my fantasy at all lol
@aimee glatt okay sis we get it. You think he is gay. Let him be.
As a straight black man this shit pissed me off. He did her completely wrong and was not a good man
Facts
@aimee glatt why do you think Tyler PERRY is gay?
All Tyler Perry’s movies are energy harvest through and through. He is putting out a certain image of black women that we don’t need to continue seeing. He has money but no talent. He’d do better if he let other people involved but he’s too self absorbed. Just look at his Medea movies he practically plays everyone except the children 🙄
lol everyone except the kids... lol I hollered
One word: CHOICES! Sometimes as women we overlook the signs for whatever reason we tell ourselves and stay in relationships we know that are not healthy and when the straw finally breaks the camels back then we'll walk. Then we feel mistreated taken for granted and feel like a fool and walk around angry, upset at the man when he finds someone else. The man can't do no more to you than what you would allow him to do. I understand being supportive for your man or woman but reality was not in play here. It's one thing to focus on your dreams but not in the process of destroying another. Melinda had the choice to not enter into the relationship or to remain in it that was her choice. I can't say if it was love that kept her there or what I don't know but at times he came across to me as somewhat manipulative, self absorbed and uncaring because he had something that was important to him and at times its like it just didn't click to him that he needed to be doing more. I guess the moral of the story one at least is good things come to those who wait! Ah, I think not. Melinda had some issues cause you have to be out your mind to endure something like this when the chance to cut your loses and run. She says he took the best part of her life but she gave him her life, money, and mind. I paid a $1.50 at the Redbox to watch this. ha ha
it’s hilarious that tyler perry’s best film is his first one. like how do you get worse with experience?
I feel his best films are diary of a mad black woman, madea's family reunion and for colored girls
Malcolm 1097 FOR COLORED GIRLS?! Really? That hogwash mess.. Not even the actors could save it.
Well, technically the same thing could be said about orson welles
His best work were his plays.
Why did I get Married? & Mad Black Women are the only films I can take lol the rest are booty
Because men are always supposed to be forgiven for their transgressions... but don't let a woman do something then there's no redemption for her 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Or she might get AIDS like he did Jurnee Smollet in the Marriage Counselor . Terrible
👏🏾
The most powerful message I received from watching one of Tyler Perry's movies is to not watch anymore of Tyler Perry's movies. They are cringe worthy-ling bad.
Preach.
I feel he just doesn't respect the audience enough or he's just run out of ideas or he's getting lazy. You decide.
I also feel he doesn't really respect black women. Why does he keep pushing this poor narrative of us?
Because it sells. Why do BW keep watching his films?
When I heard they shot the ENTIRE movie in EIGHT days I knew it would be garbage. I finally watched it on Hulu and was like YEP, I was right.
Amber Nycole 8 days, damn.... I think I’ll skip it, even if Taraji is in it!
I didn’t like it either and I like Tyler Perry. I’m just tired of the “bitter black woman” trope that men keep using to bolster their egos.
☕️ SAME.
Bitter black need to all sink at the bottom of the ocean just like Melinda did. Tyler is not that good to just make up stuff. This movie was actually AMAZING and a life lesson as a lot of his movies at. But so many BLACK wine. Are so self destructive and bitter that they can not see outside of themselves, and always want to cry victim pointing fingners.

That scene when taraji fell in the water was so cringey. oml
Yeah Tyler loves punishing black women for wanting more. Many of his movies is basically him wagging his finger at black women and telling them to be satisfied with what they have (even if what they have is a garbage dude).
Exactly just be happy u have a man regardless of their issues
Yup. Like Temptation.
There was a change in my opinion when Tyler Perry depicted black stories and then when he started expoilting the black community particularly the female audience. I stopped watching his plays and movies years ago when I realized he wasn’t making his movies better. They were getting worse, and he was just turning a quick buck. Acrimony and the Madea sequels show that. It’s always like he talks at the black women he never attempts to talk from our perspective. His perspective of his female counterparts are stereotypes.
I stopped liking his movies after Temptation, that was the worst.
2nd place to Acrimony
the tact that this film was inspired by gone girl.... gillian flynn pls sue im BEGGING
If I had 10 mill, I would live off the interest for the rest of my life and would continously add onto it.
Even if it's 1 million, you can live off the interest.
Robert didnt even "decide" to get a job ..they basically made some crazy deal so they wouldn't foreclose on the house. He was forced into it...had they not did that he would still be at the house
Tyler Perrys understanding of women in general is non existent
I know one thing he sure knows how to push forth the angry, crazy, psychotic, black woman, trope!!
@Ambiance. Tyler Perry’s understanding is frankly right on Track. The truth hurts.
See... healthy relationships require BOTH parties to build each other up. Lol just thinking about the movie irks me.
Exactly
