I'm White, Middle Class, Male, Middle Aged...and...


I loved this movie. My wife watches all of his movies, and I must be honest, I really don't care for the typcial way they are- meaning the "black talk and acting", etc. I am in no way racist, but I just don't care for movies like that. However, this film was not like that. It had a good story. I cried several times during this movie, it was that moving. The story of the single mom and daughter being homeless is too often happening in today's society. It hurts me to see children be homeless and hungry. Yes, I help out as much as I can by donating to shelters, the United Way ( specifying my donation go towards children and battered women), but I wish more people who are well-off would help children who are homeless. Children should NEVER have to suffer. Back to the movie- I enjoyed it and it just may open me up to more of his films if made in this caliber.

You seem ridiculous having to announce your whiteness before commenting on a movie.

Absolutely...

Ridiculous.

Nice post I agree.

you should watch more of his movies keeping in mind they are taking place in the Tyler Perry Universe.

Thanks Savy... nice to be able to hear some nice replies instead of people just being rude and mean on here. What is wrong with the Human race? must we always be so mean to each other? I have watched several more of his movies and I really enjoy him!! Thanks!!

I understand what you mean. It is just a nice human story where the characters could be any race. They just happen to be black. I wish there were more movies like that too.

You screwed up when you identified yourself as white and made a reference to 'black talk and acting'. No way to take you seriously.

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing!

No intelligent sentence ever starts with "I'm not racist, but..." That's typically followed by something ridiculously racist. Smdh...

I'm a black middle aged woman and I understand what you mean. The only thing that I took offense to was your "black talk" statement. I didn't know that languages had color but I guess you're referring to ebonics, which is not only spoken by blacks, by the way. However, like I said, I do understand what you're trying to say because I also like his movies that are without all of the over the top, silly, clownery and buffoonery but I hope that you don't believe that buffoonery equals black people or vice versa.

If you like this movie, there are other TP movies that aren't riddled in that particular style of comedy, such as Daddy's Girls, Why did I get married and Why did I get married too. I'm sure that there are others that I just can't think of at this moment.
