Wesley Morris Grantland Perry's movies have become so thematically grandiose, visually incoherent, and self-defensively bourgeois that the only way to receive them lately is as a cynic. Jan 3, 2014 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Perry has now built a media empire from spinning his own wheels. Rated: 1/5 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Zachary Wigon Village Voice Perry has some worthwhile filmic models-Temptation gestures at Woody Allen in its setup, and Douglas Sirk in its melodrama-but he isn't even in the same star cluster as those greats. Apr 1, 2013 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn It is still entertaining despite some poor creative decisions and weird performances. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn It's so crazy and entertaining. Jurnee was on another level in this one. This is such a great movie! Rated: 4/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Tatiana Albandos Medium Popcorn The dialogue makes it so entertaining for no reason. So many memorable lines for all the wrong reasons. I watch this every time it's on tv. Rated: 3/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Erin When I suspected my ex-boyfriend of cheating, I reached out to Crypto Pandemic Hunter for help. At first, I was unsure about spying on him, but I wanted the truth. I was thankful for using Crypto Pandemic Hunter, as they provided the evidence I needed to confirm my suspicions. They were professional and discreet, giving me software to connect to my ex-boyfriend's email and social media. I was able to watch his online activities in and found clear messages and photos proving he was having an affair with a coworker. Though the truth was hard to accept, I'm grateful for the evidence that helped me move on. The software was simple to use and very effective, and I would recommend it to anyone needing clarity in a situation of broken trust. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Bryant C It had a good twist but Journee's character would've been dismissed if i was her husband ...aint no way Im gonna bring you back in lol Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Audience Member This film is literally horrific. Why do Black audiences encourage this man? Tyler Perry films do nothing, but; exploit Black stereotypes; demonize Black women; and prove to all bigots that this truly is how they should see Black people. Some examples of the dumbass dialogue that is entirely inexplicable: 1. Judith comes home to her husband (Brice) and he asks her: "How was your third week of work?" What in the actual hell is he talking about!? He is MARRIED to this person! Does he only check in with her once a week about her new job? This is preposterous, dumb writing. 2. Literally ANYTHING Kim Kardashian says in the film. Why was she cast at all? And what the hell is her job title in that office?! 3. The scene where Brice realizes he forgot his WIFE's birthday for the second year in a row. How the f-%#@ does this happen? No one on planet Earth has ever done this. And, yet again, this Tyler Perry movie concludes with nothing but punishment and suffering for the sinner. Judith stepped out on her husband. So, what are her consequences? She now had AIDS and has to continue her life on her own, as she slowly limps to her car after getting her AIDS medication from Brice, in his new pharmacy where he's married to a young, hot new woman and they have a baby together. It's a horrible, scarring conclusion. It's not ridiculous to think that a couple, who's been together since they were 6 years old, will grow apart and realize they aren't meant to be together. But, according to Tyler Perry, this is exactly how the world should work. Anyone who ever falls out of love with their partner is the devil. End of message. All his films have horrible, horrible messages. This one is high up there in that list. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid movie stupid premise stupid idea. Stop putting out terrible movies and putting stupid ideas in peoples heads. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie shows us the type of temptations married people go through everyday. And in the movie they showed us how falling into one temptation can ruin your entire life. It has a very powerful message. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
