I Can Do Bad All By Myself quickly became one of my favorite Tyler Perry plays. The story line is clear, and yet full of surprises. The vocal performances were outstanding, and the strong message of faith in Christ Jesus and the power of prayer was uplifting. Truly powerful and poignant moments were scattered amongst the hilarious slapstick of Tyler Perry's Madea. As for Brown, he is a case in and of himself--he is unbelievably funny and talented. But it was the dynamic between Tamela Mann's character, Cora, and her nieces and great-niece that really tugged at my heart strings. I would, and have, watched I Can Do Bad All By Myself over and over again; and it still makes me laugh. The only drawbacks in this early version of the play were the film quality and the costumes, which were a bit outrageous, but the sheer funniness of it more than made up for these things. In my book, this play is a comedic classic, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good laugh.

Tyler Perry is one of the most imaginative and gifted playwrights today. This play is filled with humor and meaning. I especially like the Christian applications in each one of his plays. The music is co-written by Tyler Perry, and I find it to be very uplifting and inspiring as a Christian. I always sing right along with all of the songs in the play. The cast is comprised of very gifted individuals who can sing as well as act. Mr. Perry also has a knack for taking everyday complicated situations and adapting them for his plays. These are a favorite in my household. These plays are definitely a refreshing vacation from some of the vulgarity and depravity in some of the films you see today.

Tyler Perry makes us laugh, oh does he ever make us laugh. But for TP laughter is a tool to help convey a message. There is no real secret here as to what the message is. It runs through all the plays, it runs through Diary of A Mad Black Woman, and although I haven't gotten to see the movie of Madea's Family Reunion yet, I'm willing to bet it runs through that as well.

Tyler Perry is a dedicated Christian, and that is the message of his work. The teachings of Jesus are filtered through Madea and her wild family, and although Madea says repeatedly that she'll be seen in church "when they get a smoking section," she is the mortar which binds the family together.

Tyler Perry is probably the most talented man in the film industry today.

i totally disagree maybe your head is too far up your butt to realize that humor(laughter) next to health is very essential to life if you were a movie critic no good movies would come out.Every story has a plot even horrible ones.So when u watch these type of movie actually watch them they're not meant to hurt but to help he teaches life lessons. Maybe not the most incredible way to tell it but it still gets the point across. And all in all even the most horrible film has something or another great to offer. your mind is in 'dial up' switch to 'broadband' maybe u can see what i see and what others see. So please take this to the bank cash it and buy ever movie Tyler perry has ever made watch them and love them .
