Didn't make no sense

It's Didn't make "any" sense.

Well, you're a wanna-be, wanna be better than me!

There have been many cases, a few recently of people who have died on buses or trains and passengers and the drivers assume that they are asleep. So sadly that does happen in real life.

As for no one reporting it, the daughter was estranged from her mom they hadn't spoken in over a year. The kids were just used to being alone most of the day and they were pretty much on their own alot. They probably thought the grandma had given up on them too.

It was an ok movie, I really didn't enjoy it as much as Family That Preys.

I can understand the kids not understanding what was going on, but the daughter saying it wasn't like the mother, knowing how she was always there for the kids and would never leave them alone with their mother... April should have realized it was something bad.

I really enjoy TP films, but this is the weakest. I think mainly because it all is formulaic, but up until this movie, I could always enjoy the movies.

First problem, a preacher would not suggest that a strange man move in with a single woman. Just didn't sit right at all. Surely there were other people who could help him out. Even giving him a cot at the church would have been a better suggestion.

Madea telling the story about Peter. I loved it in the play "Madea Goes to Jail," but it was very much forced in this movie. I can't believe that Jennifer and her brothers lived with their Godly grandmother, and had no idea how to pray. Just didn't work well.

At the end, the "The Color Purple" moment where, earlier, no song was ever heard coming from the church, and all of a sudden this song is loud and clear.

April's character was interesting, but I think she was flat like her boyfriend. There are evil people in life, but they all of something about them. TP's bad guys are always all bad, just like his good guys are all good, so I guess this point is moot.

There is more, but this is long enough. I will still watch his movies because they are generally pretty good, but I wish he would go a different route. The good thing about this movie is that it seemed more drama: Madea's parts weren't as frequent as in his other movies.

Didn't make no sense

I didn't think it was all that odd. If the kids had stayed at home and the grandmother wasn't around the neighbor might have thought something was up. But since they left too she may have thought a family emergency came up and they left.
If I sat next to an old person on a moving vehicle, I'd assume they were sleeping. Elderly people take about a billion naps a day. Depending on where she was sitting the bus driver might not have paid attention half the time.
I'm with you on filing the missing persons report asap, but since her sister was a druggie, she probably knew how long it would take for the police to officially investigate a missing person. She can fill out the report all day long, but in some places adults have to be missing for a week for them to even begin looking. And in a busy city? You might as well look yourself.
Truthfully I think the daughter was fearful of what she would find and that's why she didn't wanna look. The grandma had been gone that long and they haven't heard from her, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure she's somewhere dead. Its just a matter of finding out where.

I've actually heard of an incident where a man had died on a subway and no one noticed until several hours later.
But I agree with the rest. If everyone knew she was reliable, the fact that she'd been missing for 4 days should be alarming!

just a little bit of you everyday, will surely keep the doctor away <3

Monetmagic,

I agree. If this was some crackhead missing for days, only then would I be blaze about it. Not uncommon for dope addicts to disappear. But this was a GRANDMOTHER....guardian to three children, and from what we saw in this movie, a GOOD woman, and not a drug addict, prostitute, etc., and she "goes to work" and no one seems to care enough to at least make phone calls, or search for this woman after the children informed everyone she had been gone for four days? I found THAT part of the movie rather silly.

The fact that the church folks came to the house to advise April that her mother died is a testament that after Jennifer told them she hadn't seen her for days means they actually started looking for Mama Rose.

At first I wondered why she didn't have any ID since somebody mentioned she was either going to or coming from work. Then I realized if someone thought she was asleep on the bus her wallet may have been stolen.
