I've got a sneaky suspicion that most of the negative reviews and votes for this movie on IMDb were probably the result of a few people (or worse, one person) getting together and deciding to trash this wonderful piece of comedic brilliance in a sorry attempt to get studios to cancel the final six installments of Perry's plays. It's the only way the rating can drop about six entire points even though the movie continues to perform well at the box office.
Here, Perry improves on Diary of a Mad Black Woman (him directing probably had something to do with it.). Madea has a much larger role in this film, and all the actors perform well. It's a known fact in acting 101 that if an actor can make an audience absolutely despise them, like Blair Underwood here (I wanted to reach into the screen and choke his character), then they've done their job.
I think sometimes audiences get uncomfortable seeing things that happen in everyday life on screen. But art mirrors life. You want to escape, go see Lord of the Rings. You want to see a well-written slice of black life in America, go see this movie. You want your movies dumbed down to cliché and nonsense (like 95% of what Hollywood makes) I don't know what to tell you.
