Divorce in the Black

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.

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.

This movie is really poorly written and yet the general idea is good.

Get better writers, take time to tell the story. Also get quality directors and editors.

In the last few years, Tyler Perry movies build up well, crescendo and fall apart all too quickly. That is due to poor writing or a discombobulated set of ideas. Viewers deserve better.

You get a great cast and quality acting but the final result is miserable. The score is poor as well.

Let's get back to high standards in telling these stories. No excuses. It has been done before.

Give it some finesse. Let's go!

What we watched was messy.

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.

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.
