Every young married woman should watch this!!


I saw this movie last night on demand/comcast. I did not expect that ending but should of seen it coming. This situation is so common, not the millionaire part but the getting bored with marriage and thinking there is something better out there. She says "I want a phenomenal man" to her husband, so sad that she believed she was getting one! Loved her praying Mom, the actress was so pretty and did so well in this role. Pray for your kids!!! Good job, Tyler. Such an important message to get out there, the world is telling young people the exact opposite. Movies like this are so important.

Oh, please. Tyler Perry is a douche and his films are always over the top soap operas with ridiculous characters and stupid moral-of-the-story endings!

Yes indeed was brilliant.

I hope that any woman who sees this film realizes that it's a terrible movie and doesn't give it a second thought.

As a man, I'd much have a woman decide not to cheat on me because she cares about me, not because she's scared God is going to get revenge on her by giving her AIDs.

The concept was good, and true, but the execution was poor.

So true.

You don't know me.
You only think you do.

^ Exactly. Was the HIV really needed at the end? Like brief said how about not cheating because she cares and loves her husband. So typical for Tyler Perry films and his anvil over the head over the top writing. Mr. Perry let the pros write your screenplays good grief already.

this.

also note to the OP: i'm sure it unfathomable to tyler perry that the protagonist of this movie was male. think about that for a second.

but Tyler is growing at an impressive pace as a storyteller.

😭

The message in this film is what stood out. The film itself could have been a lot better, but Tyler is growing at an impressive pace as a storyteller. I think he is finally surrounding himself with knowledgeable filmmakers, lol. As a non married woman (but in a long term relationship) who has experienced "temptation", I think the message of this movie is for everyone. It's refreshing to see films portray real consequences of infidelity, even to this extreme.

reply

He undermined his own message at the end though by being melodramatic as always. He did portray a real life consequence, but as the guy up above said, the ultimate message of the movie ended up being "cheat and God will punish you." When the real message was about the whole 80/20 rule like he talked about in "Why Did I Get Married?" There was no suggestion in the movie though about talking to your spouse about your change in feelings, or anything that a marriage counselor would do. As a storyteller, Tyler hasn't progressed at all. He has become a better filmmaker, though. His films look a lot more professional. His writing is still basically a poor man's Nicholas Sparks...

reply

I agree.

I think the problem is that he's never failed. He's never had a bomb, never had to regroup after one of his movies failed. As far as he's concerned, everything he makes is gold.

You can't learn from success. You can only learn from failure. Nobody demands he makes better films, so his films never get better. It's a sad statement to the entire world today, really. Nobody cares if a movie is great. "Okay" has become "good".

Tyler Perry could do a great movie, if only somebody would stop automatically loving all of his work without thinking about it. But it's REALLY unlikely that's going to happen any time soon.

Or ever.

Temptation by someone who is SUPPOSED to be a trained professional in the field of SPOTTING temptation, and UNDERSTANDING it's devastating effect on marriage! Jesus Christ, did she become a counselor just for the good bank she was getting for doing it? Even later in the movie when Mr. Rich BUYS her an office to do her counseling, never once did it ring in her head that what she was doing was wrong?

I mean come on. Temptation leads to a one night stand, or an affair that doesn't work, but this was an ongoing thing where she was CONSTANTLY reminded over and over again that WHAT SHE WAS DOING WAS WRONG! If she can still be with this jerk while she's counseling married couples, I have to think she was only ever in it for the money. And if that's the case, not only was she a terrible counselor, she was just a terrible PERSON, all the way around.

Jeez. Now I'm starting to think I understand WHY Kim Kardashian was in this movie. Maybe it was supposed to be an inside joke. After all, tempting men into her bed so she could steal all their money IS technically what she does, right?

Its a message film. Cheat and you will get HIV.

If you love someone only so long as they have a good job, are making good money, providing you with whatever you think is making you happy in this strange consumer culture of ours, the problem is you. You are the problem, because to truly love someone is to accept them. Them, not the money they make, the job they have, or the things they can buy/do for you. Accepting them for who they are, not what they do.

Judith was the problem here. I have to wonder if she ever truly loved her husband at all. Nothing was ever given that suggested her husband was not a loving, decent guy... The only thing that "tempted" her away was money. If that's all you're looking for in life, you don't know anything about love at all.

Except for the love of money. And that's called "Greed".

P.S. If young married women are going to watch this, I hope they learn to at least check the credentials of the marriage counselor they are going to, to see if they actually know what it is they are supposed to be counseling you about.
