Wife mandated viewing on Date night....

Don't really care for Tyler Perry movies, they are somewhat watchable and forgettable but he caters directly to his intended audience which is why he continues to pump out $10m budget movies that gross $40m+

I went in thinking this would be the traditional man bashing movie but came out a little surprised how engaged I was in watching this film. That doesn't make it good but anytime you are in a Theater and the audience talks back at what's happening on screen it's connecting the way it's supposed to.

Taraji gives us an "Amped" up "Cookie Lyon" performance from "Empire" in her "Melanie" character. We open the movie with a courtroom scene in which the Judge mandates anger management counseling for her and transitions to her first session. As she explains her "Point of view" to the Doctor we get a good sense on how she came to this point. The Dr. questions her thinking which Taraji chews up and spits out the common assertions of Angry Black women. But see there is more than one side to the story and by mid movie your opinion starts to change and maybe there is some validity to what the Dr. is trying to get her see. At the end of the day no matter how much you believe you've been wronged if someone makes it right you have to learn to move on and accept that maybe your success is not tied to the person you thought you loved.

Plotwise a lot of things don't make a lick of sense, Weird life changing injuries after a rage attack, Great tech ideas that are only presented to one potential company for 20 years, and last but not least the crazy finale.

C+
