Divorce in the Black

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.

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.

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.

It's almost so bad it's good. Believe me, even the opening 5 minutes will give you an idea of the hilariously bad the direction of the movie is going. I'll go ahead and call it the "Church" scene. Overacting, bad acting and unusual acting methods from vetted actors. I know Tyler Perry movies... can produce some inconsistent results and performances. The over acting feels like theater, and its script is unrealistic and not relatable. The amount of swearing, screaming and random outbursts of verbal conflicts is every 5 minutes in this movie. But the camera work is definitely is insanely good. So there's that. That's why I have it a '2' and not '1'.
