You watched it baby the funeral took me out 😂

Tyler Perry Movie Formula: - Unhappy Black woman as main character - Abusive Medium or Darkskin husband - Female best friend with an attitude - Lightskin man as the new “good man” - Old Black woman to give advice - Bad hair - A sweaty Church with people fanning themselves - Written, directed, produced (and literally everything else) by Tyler Perry

Your post was right on time. Literally just finished watching this nonsense!!! Let’s go!🔥

Do you think the mama was a dig at Monique with that Monique like character?

Tyler really doesn't want an Oscar, Emmy, or even a 3 star rating, does he?😅

Dallas was cutting up

Hi James, I agree with you. I would have loved a back story on Dallas and his family, either in flashbacks or real time. As always, I enjoy your recaps❤❤❤

Yeah i agree the ending could've been better

That funeral 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I actually like the movie. The acting and story was good.

To me A Jazz Man's Blues will be Tyler's best movie of all time. A true movie with an excellent storyline and big budget for characters and story.

I like the movie because it illustrates how people tolerate abuse. Unfortunately, many people are in disbelief when they find out too late about such situations with loved ones.

At this point Tyler is creating these parody movies.

I hope it’s a part 2, because it ended like there was more

I grew up in a community with a family like the Bertram's. Just wreaking havoc everywhere they went! The movie was good, but not great. I will always support Tyler's projects just because it's him. If you haven't, please watch a Jazzman's Blues. Great movie!

Tyler needs a therapist.

Tyler need 2 hire writers. Same storyline over and over and over.

Dallas so happy for Corey he is very talented ❤❤❤❤❤

I’m watching yall reviews I REFUSE to watch that movie

I enjoyed the movie. Only complaint is it seemed like he was writing for two different genres and didn’t do the character/plot development to support either genre. At first I thought it was a Sweet Home Alabama/ Hope Floats divorcee finds love and themselves by going back home post divorce then it switched to Enough. I wasn’t lost but there wasn’t enough development for either genre.

When he cussed that white lady out in the grocery store, I lost it

I loved this movie! Tyler knows we're going to watch and talk about his movies good or bad. So it's a win win for him. Shout out to him for paying actors what they're worth.

It was good for what it was.

This needs to be a series. Dallas' family need to tell their story 📽

I was hoping you watched this one 🤣🤣 The movie wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either and I found myself laughing at some of the acting, but it’s Tyler Perry so I’m going to watch it when he makes something. Anyway another great review…. I’m still loving the channel 🫶🏽💕

Update I’m reading your book “Loving Topaz and OMG I haven’t enjoyed a book this much since Terry McMillan’s book “Mama” James please keep writing books your good I will pay top dollar for them !!!!!!

Tyler trolling atp cause he know we gonna watch 😂

I LIKE IT❤❤

We need a panel

Love your reviews. And I loved this movie with its many twist and turns. Megan Good finally deserves awards for her amazing performance. Tyler Perry redeemed himself after the disaster of Mea Copa and I feel this film is right up there with his first hit, Diary of A Mad Black Woman. My only complaint was the ending where I feel he should have expanded on the storyline that Dallas confessed that his evil mom encouraged him to kill his own father. And when the mom showed up at the hospital at the end, Megan’s character could have revealed it to the police and had the evil bitch March off to jail. I also wish Perry would have made up with Monique and cast her in the role of the gangsta mom. Besides those two observations that is my only complaint.

I enjoyed it!

I’m going to get your book today since you are a great story teller your book got to be good I found it on Kindle too ❤

The Mom had 5 boys and 4 was left

James I’m with you. I liked it and parts I didn’t like all at the same time.

If the funeral scene wasn't at the very beginning, I would have turned my tv to YT bs.😂 I feel it was too much thrown out without giving an explanation or ending. The ending did leave it open for a part 2, but I really hope not. When I saw the evil mother, I thought of Evilean the Witch from the Wiz!😂😂

I literally felt the exact same way you did about the film. But I will say this Cory Hardict DID that. Great performance

I enjoyed it.

I love your reviews !!

Tyler likes to Bait and Switch us

I liked it, but it wasn't one of Tyler's best.

I enjoyed your review. I agree with you totally with the first scene. The first scene was relatable because some times pastors are not so nice at funeral s especially when the person didn't live a righteous life. I also think after the funeral it gets worse through the movie and some scenes make no since at all. Why bring up he may have cheated / that was not necessary. The mama at the grocery store/ your so right nobody in the south is going to watch an older lady get grabbed and not say anything. The daddy has military skills so you would think he would have shot at least one brother. I like Tyler but wish he would do better.

Well I don’t have Prime so I will miss it. But from the reviews I hear I did not miss much 🤯

Too Close to Home was so good. I am not a Perry fan but I really enjoyed that series.

Tell me why I just finished watching this today hahaha. You are right, this is a Sunday, not doing nothing, kind of movie

I loved To Close to Home also!!! My favorite

Agree about To Close To Home,hate it was canceled.That Ruthless is a hot mess 😳 TP need therapy 😂😂😂😂

Can you please do reviews on Interview with the Vampire season 2?

Tyler has infinite resources and still makes this kind of movies.

I liked the movie I think only a woman who's been in that situation could appreciate it ❤

I didn’t like the title either… Ava explained she wanted to be in the black with the divorce from Dallas but somehow he felt like he was still owed something when he asked for the divorce…. The title would make sense if he catered to her and paid for her education but Dallas was a country bumpkin fool I don’t see anything in common with the two not even in the beginning.

Perfect synopsis🎯

Love it

Corey did what he could with the script

I think black men being abusive to black women is a personal hurt of Tyler Perry's that he has not healed from. He writes a lot from that place. It's like a grown little boy crying out about his emotional wounds.

I had to hear you review this movie!

@SpillItBoyTv will ypudo a review on the Jr interview with Carlos king??? I really want to hear what you have to say about it.

Had a slow weekend..so I watched, re-watched, and watched the movie again (honestly..nothing else of interest was on). You can tell Tyler practically wrote every line. You seen tidbits of every other TP movie. In my opinion, the over acting, under acting, predictability...all of it TRASH - CCOORRNNAAYYY. I wish TP would bring back writers. In my opinion, since he started writing all of his movies, you can see the similarities it all of them.

That opening at the Funeral was down right ridiculous so was the ending with the Brothers sitting there and nobody in jail the rest of the movie in my opinion was good. But I see why the movie didn’t make it to AMC but good movie to me.

I appreciate the review cos Im not watching the movie. Happy for Megan and Corey. Thats all..

He wasn't murdered, he was killed

For ME the opening was terrible...

I don't like the title of the film either. This isn't about a divorce. It's about crazy a** family. Could've been called "Divorcing a Bertrude" or whatever their last name is 😂

I thought the movie was ok megan acting was good and her husband character reminded me of ike turner. The church scene was funny.

He really does leave the door open… he should’ve opened up about the mother getting the son to kill his father… dam a flashback of a scene to relive the moment or something…definitely rushed… if we can sit through 3 hrs of Color Purple we would’ve sat there for that… just rushed so water it down cause he got too much going on…me and my husband stopped watching Ruthless cause of those reasons

I think it was ok. I laughed a lot threw it. Probably wasn't meant to be funny but it was. 😂😂😂

I was tired , it took me 2 days to watch it

There were 5 brothers after the brother died their were 4

The mama was a "Great Value" version of Monique to me. I sadly think Mea Culpa was slightly better than this, and that wasn't too good either. Tyler knows people are going to watch his stuff no matter what so he's doing what works for him....🤷‍♂️

I thought the movie was horrible per usual, like Sistas and The Oval 🙄 you had great actors with not good writing and corny.

You are spot on Wash Rinse Repeat 😂 I like it and didn’t like it at the same time. Best part of the movie was the opening scene 😂 I agree 100% Meagan Good looked damn good in that black dress at the funeral very beautiful woman 😊 I also thought it was BS when the husband started attacking the mama Debbie Morgan in church and nobody in the grocery store stood up for her and came to her defense right then and there

And it’s Sassy by the way lol dk why it’s coming up under my govt😜

I enjoyed the movie for what it is: B-level drama with a weak story and plot but some good acting in parts. I contend that Tyler Perry allowed the production designer and director of cinematography to do their jobs because there were several scenes that were staged well and shot with a photographer's eye. The acting was good for the most part. The mother and father characters are movie veterans and chewed up every moment of their screen time. The grocery store confrontation between Dallas and his mother-in-law in the grocery store was visceral and unnerving. Dallas' "Precious" mama was a hot mess as a character and the actress who portrayed her really went there and back to make her memorable if not credible. I thought I was going to really dislike this like I did the recent Tyler Perry creative travesty, "Mea Culpa", but I enjoyed it far more than I have a Tyler Perry project in many years. I give it a solid B. The acting was steady, earnest and believable. The cinematography was better than most of his other movies. The production sets and sites looked well-staged. The writing and plot lacked authenticity at points, but the outrageous, over-the-top funeral scene at the beginning left a memorable cinematic impression.

I liked it

I was at a funeral and the lady gave her life to Jesus but prior to she was a Muslim. At the end of her funeral the Muslims went up like they were going to view her body for the last time … picked her body up and started to wrapped her body... speechless. 😶

🖤🖤🖤

the opening was corny and very ghetto my opinion. I know some people said that's how they go, they act up every where they go. That's for people to stay tuined in. Acting professional.

My sentiments exactly. I literally had to watch it in two parts because I was getting aggravated halfway through the movie. I thought the next day maybe I'll give it a shot when I stomach the rest of the movie and I agree with whatever you said. The beginning my attention, but then it was very tedious watching from there. Also, Megan did but cheeks look a little extra bulbous! I don't think she needs fillers if that's what it is. OK.

I agree with you; the beginning was really good and I was hopeful. After Ava, visited her parents and went back to Atlanta the storyline lost me. Almost like there were 2 completely different writing teams 🤦🏾‍♀️

This was a no for me, for most of the reasons you laid out… loved your review though

Agree and I feel it was rushed😮

The title literally had nothing to do with the movie

What is this genre? The reason I don’t like his movies is because I can’t tell if it is supposed to be a drama or a comedy?

If the opening was the best part of the movie, my assessment was correct. I only watched 27 minutes and ghosted em.....

I didn’t like the beginning and he just doesn’t know how to write. He doesn’t want a team to help develop the story and characters

I HATE ALL OF PERRY'S MOVIES! HE IS THE WORST. He needs to hand the writing over to someone else and play a supervisory role. .

38:02 ....😭😭😭😭 I need a senetive 😭 "Mommy" and "DaD"❤️ if you ever felt that kind of love from your parents you've experienced everything you need in life.. I'm not trying to spoil the movie but I needed to take a break..

I just watched this movie last night, and it was a pleasant surprise! I really enjoyed it!🫶🏾

I liked it
