a good movie typical tyler
31 August 2008 | by (Hamburg) – See all my reviews

well I am surprised with the bad vote this movie has here. It is not the best of Tyler. But certainly not a bad movie. The movie circulated around most of the same theme as all Tyler has. Hard life, bad community, good community, how to find yourself a place in this life, how to struggle and at the end to reach to your happiness. I do really like the acting from Angela Basset. It was awesome. The film is predictable but not the message. Unfortunately Madea's part is really small. It seems that they tried to hard to squeeze her inside the film. They should work harder in the script to put more part for Madea. I really miss her thought. :-D
