So, Tyler Perry has yet to get the balance right with a black comedy. I have the same problem with him as I do Vince Vaughn: too much. You can poke fun at a few stereotypes, and even throw in some wise cracking old people, but to have only buffoonery characters, is unforgiveable. Especially if they are only black (I really do think if there were some hillbilly white people, I feel less appalled). And then on top of writing in those characters, they are directed in a way that is like “You know how we embellish black people? Let’s play only those aspects up! More weed, Jesus, and incoherent babble!” Overall, this movie was a hot mess, full of ignorant and offensive people. And it had so much potential…
Verdict: Tyler Perry owes me money (skip)
