Please give me your thoughts about what I think was wrong with this, thx


There was much I liked about this movie - at the end, Madea is telling one of the sisters that forgiveness is to help yourself, not the evil-doer. Unfortunately, Madea was speaking too fast, so a lot of people probably missed that.

(a) What I didn't understand was (and didn't think it was funny) was why was she so mean to Mr. Brown?

(b) when she was giving the whole family the lecture, I get that she didn't need an "Amen" from Byron, but he was trying to get his life together with a job. Yet she chastised him for not having one, having gotten fired when that wench Sabrina hauled him in for back child support. SHE was the one who would have mouthed off and deserved to be slapped! Yet uncharacteristically, she sat silent. It would have made more sense, to me, if Madea told Byron that "you took what easy" (sex with Sabrina) and now you got a kid. Paid a big price for a few minutes of fun......" Certainly Madea would know how hard it is for anyone with a prison record to get a job, especially a black man so slamming Byron for what Sabrina did made no sense.

Bryon was still out there selling dope on the side and his girlfriend snitched on him telling Madea that

I saw the movie twice - she WANTED him to but he kept refusing. Am I incorrect? Madea certainly knew that the girl busted him for back child support causing him to LOSE his job. I think that is what she meant by "stop making this man's life hell....." Thanks!

I agree with the second one. I was confused about her comment towards him as well. I know he decided to actually make a drop before seeing Renee on TV at the store, but he never did it. Maybe she heard about that and wanted to rant at him for even considering it.
