How Do You Want it?

Tyler Perry is amazing!

I don't understand how this movie got such a bad rating so far!

It has a nice story and a fluent plot without any leaks or gaps or boring parts.

It was just smooth and really easy to watch.

I enjoyed it from the very beginning until the end. The actors were well chosen and were very authentic.

I have to say there isn't really a Tyler Perry movie, that I did not enjoy.

He is just an amazing writer and actor.

This movie is drama at its best! I can't wait to see more movies from Tyler Perry.
