Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black

This is not a perfect movie but it's definitely not awful. The opening scene kind of sucks you in, and it doesn't really let up. The performances are decent and the country setting is nice. Downside is you know where the storyline is going, and some of the decision making by the characters in the movie is downright dumb. Other than that, I believe it's worth the watch. The run-time is a little long at over 2hrs but it keeps your interest. As long as you don't go in expecting Oscar worthy performances with an Oscar worthy screenplay, you'll be fine. Quite frankly, just watch the movie and enjoy it without expectations!

Someone should fire the people at Amazon Prome who suggest shows and movies after enticing me to watch this debacle.

I'm not really sure what the point of this movie is, or is it was supposed to have a point at all. Mediocre acting, bland, predictable dialogue. Uninspired plot. Unsympathetic characters. Especially unsympathetic female lead who seems to not have a brain in her head until she's pushing 40 but were then supposed to be rooting for her?

I really don't know what else to say. I have it three stars because the production quality was pretty good. I was 36 minutes into the movie before I was even marginally interested in a single plot thread - and then only because I was curious what stupid thing would come up next.

Well that escalated quickly!!!

Tyler Perry does it again! As usual Tyler continues to be a part of black stereotypes and bad behaviour crew. Perfect man protecting the poor abused woman against the real bad man (not just flawed). It always has to be some over the top nonsense.

The actors always turn into these caricatures of themselves. Megan somehow turned into a female Rambo. Her best friend turns into the ghetto friend who keeps it real. And of course Corey is the angry, abusive black man. No need to address his generational trauma because that doesn't create enough drama. His acting in this is something to be desired in my opinion....

Good Lord, some originality would really be great after all these years but I guess TP writes what people want to watch.

I am convinced Tyler Perry absolutely hates his people and Black women. His writing depicts Black people in the worst light and makes a mockery of our culture while enforcing negative stereotypes for the world to laugh at or along with him. This movie was a waste of time and as much as I want to see the actors and Tyler Perry succeed, this was mediocre writing, acting and directing at best. Megan Goode and Debbie Morgan were the highlights (I fell in love with the both of them in Eve's Bayou) and still could not save the movie from his terrible writing. This movie is best described as a mix of Sistas meets Real Housewives of Atlanta which both are garbage.

The two stars are for the actors. We are so desperate to see black films that we keep watching Tyler Perry movies knowing the writing will be terrible. This one was terrible! He doesn't care the networks don't care we just have to stop watching and giving his movies viewership. I'm done the gimmick is over for me. No more Tyler Perry movies. It seems like he put a bunch of lifetime movies together to make one bad movie. The funeral scene was stupid. There was no plot building and the bad family seemed like a family from the 70's. I don't normally review movies only if it's really great or really bad. He just needs to stop.
