Top review. According to this, the Lord is always the answer. Now, before anything, I'm a Christian and I do have some religious beliefs. However, I'm not a hardcore Christian. I also can't stand it when people shove religious crap down my throat. I can learn to poke fun at my own religion and laugh because for all I know I could be worshiping the wrong religion. Not a big deal to me. I'm still a decent guy. Religion is always the last thing on my mind. Without the interruptions by Grandma Madea, the movie would be about Helen as a shattered woman who 1 tells the judge Charles can keep all his assets, because she doesn't want a penny; 2 goes to work as a waitress; and 3 is courted by the handsome Orlando, who is kind, understanding, sincere and knows how to listen to women.
Does Helen find happiness with Orlando? Not so fast. The movie has a Christian agenda, which is fine with me, if only it had been applied in a believable way. After melodramatic events occur in the life of the evil Charles, Helen gets the opportunity to practice the virtues of forgiveness and redemption, at the apparent cost of her own happiness. We hate Charles so much that it's impossible to feel sorry for him, or believe in his miraculous recovery in body or reformation of character.
It just doesn't play -- especially while Helen keeps poor Orlando in the dark about her true feelings, for no better reason than to generate phony romantic suspense.
At the end of the film, Orlando makes a comeback that demonstrates he has carefully studied " An Officer and a Gentleman ", but before then we have had one emotionally implausible scene after another involving Charles and Helen, interrupted by periodic raids by the Grandma Madea action figure, who brings the movie to a halt every time she appears.
She seems like an invasion from another movie. A very bad another movie. I've been reviewing movies for a long time, and I can't think of one that more dramatically shoots itself in the foot. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Rated PG for drug content, thematic elements, crude sexual references and some violence. She is the person you seek out before marrying someone or even picking out a career.
Her recipes are like a treasure map to a pot, pan or bowl of gold. Actually she does From the locked up family members to the ones in school, Madea is a bank. She seems to come up with just enough each time. She spends a lot of her time in prayer because all those phone calls and crucial visits. Madea is meek but when she walks in a room she commands attention and respect.
Her reward is the fellowship, the love on display and the spotlight on her children. And those terms of endearment have been mostly protected. An email has been sent to with a link to confirm list signup. Sorry , an error occurred.

That's because Perry's plays have been heavily bootlegged, and are sold at most places where you can cop your average mixtape. There was such a demand for it that They knew where to get it.
But the bootlegging isn't hurting Perry's popularity one bit. He's going to be touring across the country with "Madea Goes to Jail" for the next year and has been selling out most of his shows. Meanwhile, "Diary" 's showing with Hollywood made the man who wrote, funded and produced the film — and even composed music for it — an instant player. It's a human story," Perry said.
