My very first review, since the message boards are no longer here. I remember going to see this film when it was released, on a free movie night for the college campus. Anyway, on with the movie. This was the movie my friend/roommate and I chose. Being a Tyler Perry film, we thought it would be another comedy in the vein of Madea. We were mistaken. As much as I like his comedies, this film was a great change of tone, this time around. The events surrounding the protagonist and his children, are sadly similar to what my father went through before he gained full custody of my older half brother. Very, very eerily similar. There were a few times during the movie, where I looked over at my friend, and she pulled out a tissue and was wiping the tears from her eyes. All because of what happened in the beginning of the film and when the girls were being abused by their mother and her boyfriend. We left the theater awestruck. Powerful acting from the entire cast! I didn't realize until I scrolled through the filmography earlier, but those three sisters are sisters in real life! Same first names too. How cool is that? I mean, you can tell they are sisters through their chemistry. Yes, this probably my favorite Tyler Perry movie that I have ever seen, by far.
