Is this going to be a flat-out comedy?

Or is is going to be a drama with comedic elements, like most of Tyler Perry movies? Just curious.

It's Tyler Perry, he's unoriginal, he has a formula, he promotes his films as flat out comedies (Madea goes to Jail), you go into the theatre and he slaps you with the melo-dramatic sh*t. This certainly isn't going to be a flat out comedy.

Well most of Madea's big happy family was comedy.
It wasn't as intense as some of the others.
it was mostly funny the whole time.

I came here to ask the same thing. I won't be fooled by one of his commercials again.

I think this is his first movie that's going to be ALL COMEDY. He even said it himself in one interview.

And here's the dead-giveaway if his movies are gonna be melodramas:

1. The teaser trailer is a goofy promo and is usually something made from scratch, nothing from the actual movi

2. The OFFICIAL trailer shows the melodrama stuff with a few funny clips and there's a romantic R&B ballad playing over the trailer
