It's a bit on the predictable side, but nevertheless it's a touching, moving, nicely crafted piece with excellent performances all around. The music and Bill Duke's careful, sensitive direction really brings it home. He knows when to 'linger' on an actor's face - and when to move on. So! Go on! Put aside your bigotry & cynicism and go see it!

this is so bad i want to give it a zero but i can’t, so i give it half a star👎

Nothing new or enjoyable here! Typical, predictable, marriage on the rocks movie where the message is bogged down by average acting, mediocre dialogue, and poor direction and pace. (I expected better from these usually great actors, but this film is a little earlier in their career.) They made the wife and mom-in-law over the top annoying and the husband a doormat. We almost turned it off because it just wasn't entertaining to watch the wife and her mom browbeat the husband. I'd barely call it a Christian themed movie...they showed a wedding, and the couple attending church, along with the mention of how God should be a part of your marriage, but that was the extent of the religious references. One use of the F-word - which you might even miss (during the Feng shui/showing the house scene), acouple uses of a** (all in the beginning), no nudity. Not going to be missing much if you skip this one IMHO! 2.4 stars.

"Not Easily Broken," is a story based on a novel written by the well-known Pastor T.D. Jakes. It tells the story of Clarice and Dave who are struggling through a marriage that has lost its foundation of love and its connection to God. After a traffic accident that leaves Clarice struggling to regain her ability to walk, Dave has to take a backseat to Clarice's mother who moves into the house and pushes Clarice in all the wrong directions. Feeling pushed aside, Dave begins to consider exploring the feelings he is having for another woman, but when the opportunity presents itself he decides not to follow thorough. Once Clarice has fully recovered from her accident, and after some nudging from her church pastor, Clarice realizes how she has mistreated Dave and makes an effort to bring their relationship back to where it should be. In the end, Dave and Clarice realize God wants to hold their marriage together and they recommit to each other on the announcement that Clarice is finally pregnant and ready to start a family. There are a lot of wonderful moments in this film that ring true and give the movie substance. I have to say, this is an unevenly told story that doesn't always pull the audience along as well as it could. The story structure is a little disjointed and tends to jump from place to place. I would urge you to put that aside and simply watch scene-by-scene, because every scene is well played with quality acting and more often than not, deep meaning. In the end, all the pieces will come together into a grand collection of significant moments. Kevin Hart does a great job adding some well-placed comic relief. In fact, the entire cast does an excellent job portraying totally believable characters, including a cameo by T.D. Jakes himself. Overall, this is a great story that maybe could have been better told; nevertheless, it is still filled with genuine emotion.

Not to bad. Mother in law stand out. What a mega bitch. That poor Morris guy. The white lady looked like she should have been in some porno and ended up in this as a mistake. Why is Taraji always wear wig? Has she not got her own hair? I wonder if Taraki is bald. i think she has a enough money for a transplant. That Chesnut guy is good actor. Not to shabby really.

Such a good movie & an awesome message!

One of my favorites!

Very interesting and emotional story. Makes you realize how misunderstandings can cause problems.

This movie was amazing

A little over-the-top at times, but it had a good message.

really nice movie...i learnt an important lesson bout luv in this movie

I just watched this movie and I loved it.

wow what a powerful and moving film of pain, loss, and tragedy though where there's loss prayer,self discovery,forgiveness, and love are never far behind you could be damaged,hurt but not completely broken thus becoming stronger mentally , physically and spiritually kudos to the cast and director

This is a great movie!! All couple should watch this movie. It has a real positive message. About working your problems through instead of bailing out

Was very good! Could have knocked that mother - in law out......lol

'Not Easily Broken' was a very impressive movie with captivating performances from it's almost all of its largely unknown cast. Specifically, Morris Chestnut is superb in the lead role as 'Dave', who together with his wife, played by the equally impressive Taraji Henson, are going through a turbulent patch in their marriage after a car accident threatens to derail their relationship. The cast here are just superb. Led by Chestnut who puts in the outstanding performance of the film, the movie is believable from start to finish. Whilst Chestnut's buddies in the movie are perhaps a bit "cartoon-like" - they add an element that I think is needed. I thought Kevin Hart as 'Tree' was great. This is a movie I would recommend, especially if you're looking for something just a bit off the beaten track that will still keep you interested for its full running time of around 100 minutes. This film was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.

not as good as i thought it would be

It was better than i thought. Very emotional. I liked it alot!

Enjoyed it very much. Funny, emotionally thought provoking, and spiritually applicable.

Good moral - enjoyed but not loved it
