I hate the conspiracy theory thing BUT, you gotta think to yourself….are the powers that be letting Tyler Perry succeed financially with the caveat that he makes crap???

I thought "Divorce In Black" was the guy not working and going through his rich wife's money snd she comes to herself and realizes she needs to divorce. He goes after her with alimony, manipulating deals to bilk her money and she fights back, determined not to be broke (in the red) afterward. It then will show how she outwits him and keeps the remainder of her money.

Horrible! I don’t know which was worse, “Mea Culpa” or “Divorce in the Black”. Both were awful!

Nope it wasn't the greatest and there was no character build up. But i felt that that story was more relatable to some women than ppl want to speak about. Dealing with an alcoholic man with a dysfunctional family who was jealous of her bcuz they were all dust buckets and they felt that she thought she was better than them. She had young love syndrome and wanted to love him thru his pain, thinking she was being a wife. Yes, She was blinded beyond all understanding. Maybe its just me but I was looking at the torture dynamics of dealing with an alcoholic and how it affects those around you. His mother was a gutter snipe who was just as masculine as her sons. She, too, was the main catalyst, who should have been focused on a lot more. I can think of other ways it could have been played out, but this was a typical BW taking shit from a broken dysfuntional ass man bcuz his family wasn't shit. Cuz when you kno better you do better. At the end, when she told the mother to let it go bcuz this is what you get when you push good ppl too far you get what ur hand calls for. Did anybody else see this? Would luv to hear your opinions!

I've never watched a Tyler Perry movie from beginning to end. If a Tyler Perry movie is on TV that means I'm at the girl Im dating house. Im at someone else's house for Thanksgiving or Christmas. His movies have never interested me. I dont find him funny at all. I dont like his portrayal of black people, black Americans living in the South. I do admire and appreciate him as a businessman. Aside from that I can't watch his movies. Acting? His acting I can watch. By acting I mean he's acting in movies that other people have directed or written. He was great in "Don't Look Up." His acting in other people's movies doesn't seem to rub off on him to where it makes his movies better.

I 100% agree with everything you said . Tyler Perry recycles the same story lines. He needs writers. The funeral scene in the beginning of the movie was enough for me. 😮

Joseph Lee Anderson was ok as Rocky Johnson in Young Rock. I believe its Perry's direction.

I agree with you. I liked Tyler’s earlier movies, ie The Family That Preys, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Good Deeds! There has been a shift in the last few years where the storylines have become so predictable and recycled! It’s horrible!

To be honest I think Tyler Perry just wants a paycheck. He is just treating this like how we treat our 9 to 5 jobs. He is not passionate about his work.

Sleeping with the Enemy

Because of you, I found Tanner Bolt - Gone Girl. Why doesn't his acting in other films translate to what he writes and directs? His acting was FANTASTIC and his role fit him well. I now have to see this film.

Why were 3 divorced people in real life all in the same film?

He doesn’t give a damn 😂😂 I’ve been analyzing him myself, and I’m starting to think he does it on purpose. He films his movies in days. He filmed his movie Acrimony in 5 days. He filmed a whole season of one of his shows in 2 weeks. He doesn’t want to spend money, he is very very cheap… or saving up for something, IDK! Cause he works the crew to the bone, 16hr+ days, back to back.

Brandon's father is a Jackson alright and definitely spent time with the Jackson family growing up but if you listen to his voice with your eyes closed and do the same with each Jackson brother when he was more or less Bravdon's age, you'll realize that he sounds just like Jermaine which would also explain why Jafaar 'one of Jermaine's sons with the Jaccckson famiky name) got the part to play his brother Michael even though I agree that Brandon is the better 'singer' of the two (we'll have to see about the dancing...). Brandon's collaborations with Tito's son Taryl and Javet on the song 'Perfect fit' as well as his collaboration with Jackie's son Siggy further confirm that he's a Jackson!!!

I agree with you. Even in films like temptation and acrimony there was some background of the relationship of the antagonist of the protagonist to make us care about the character and to make it real. I have very low expectations of this film so I wasn’t disappointed. I was actually able to enjoy it on a comedic level.

Purpose my foot he need to be lock 🔐 up make it stop please 😭😭🥺😭

Am I tripping but did Debbie Morgan have an odd lisp? Corey hardick was playing a Tyler Perry character so as such he did phenomenal. That’s the quintessential Tyler Perry black man. Lastly Tyler Perry is a great writer and director. Well maybe not great but he’s very good. His problem is that he’s trying to write and direct a million things at once by himself as fast as he can. That’s a recipe for disaster.

I like ur takes my guy spot on

I think everybody respects Tyler Perry’s hustle but at some point he gotta take this shit serious 🤦🏾‍♂️

He started out decent. In those early years it looks like he took his time to make something watchable. I think "The Family that Preys" is his best work. If I could pinpoint the moment he absolutely stopped giving a fuck and started focusing on money, then it'll be "Madea's Witness Protection." That's when I stopped watching his movies. I haven't seen all of his movies. I made the mistake and went to see that "Madea's Funeral" foolishness back when it was in the theaters. I walked out after about 30 minutes. What I couldn't understand was the reaction of the packed audience in the movie theater. "These fools think this shit is good," I said to myself while walking out.

I think she stayed in the marriage because she didnt want to disappoint her parents who were the head of the church.I think she thought that she was suppose to stick it out no matter what! Please stop glorifying staying in an abusive toxic marriage!

Such lazy writing, like why would Ava marry into this trashy family? Never found out what Dallas did for a living since he seemed to have so much free time during the day😂 My favorite line was from her best friend at her job telling Dallas “I don’t give a f$@k about this job!” Who would scream that at their job and then go back to work😂😂😂

OMG Shut Up nobody is listening to YOU PPL LOVED This Movie So just Be Quiet. Always has something negative against Tyler that is why he is doing so Good and you are NOT… PPL don’t look at this BLOG At ALL I loved this picture different but a GOOD picture Tyler Perry keeps it Real….. Something’s in life you have go thru and to think about bcuz PPL this happens in life PPL for real.. we may not know it.. but it is real and Tyler has heard the stories by Black PPL…

I’m tired of seeing women being abused! Come on Tyler!

😅😅😅😅 I literally came to the comment section to make this exact comment!!!! This movie is totally ridiculous!!! I got to the scene where the mom tossed the bouquet out of the brides hand, and the husband followed the mom out😮 Man u can go marry ya, Mama!!!! I would have been done then. And I was done watching after that. Tyler is making these bad films just to be the talk of the town atp

The only thing Tyler really hit on in this movie was displaying the fragileness of the male ego and narcissism. Other than that there was no Ummmpphh Factor. Nothing that shocked you. Everything that happened was pretty much expected.

I don't really care for this review because I think it was inauthentic; however, the actors did do a good job. They can only work with what is given to them. Clearly it was poorly written, so ignoring the foundation of the movie and blanketly saying that they were bad actors is irresponsible.

I don’t think they can’t act I think the awful script is what made it bad lol. Idk tbh

I miss the old Tyler Movies, like Temptation, Acrimony, Diary of a mad black women … thoseeeee were amazing! This was the ghetto version of JLO’s “Enough” lol Ps. The Julia Roberts movie was “Sleeping with the enemy” 😉

Keep this same energy when you all watch Lifetime, The Young & The Restless or any fake reality tv.....

You tripping! Cory Hardrict carried that film! He was excellent! He can act his butt off! Meagan Good is mediocre. Richard Lawson and Debbie Morgan, watch your mouth! They did great with the garbage script they were given. The acting was good, the script was bad. I don't agree with you on this one.

"The ghetto kids" 😂 why so frustrated

You know what are good movies....mostly anything with Tom Hanks, Angela Bassett and Meryl Streep. Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep would NEVER do a Tyler Perry movie. Angela did 1 for the team but not no more. Oh Denzel too. How much you wanna bet Denzel will NEVER been in a TP movie?! These people know quality.... Tyler knows quantity.

This was one of the better ones.. to me.. lol

Not Dallas harassing mama in the grocery store and nobody calling the cops😅

Corey asked for the divorce and now he stalking her😅what am i watching

Im watching now😅and unfortunately megan nor cory are allowed to show any range this far. And why is Coreys character so angry 😅tyler should have turned it into a thriller maybe that would have saved this trashcan 😅and why is that lady husband and megan new boo at this divorce party with the naked men😅this is beyond stupid 😅

Tyler Perry is 1000% trolling us! Has to be!

It was a Tubi movie.

i watched this film and i enjoyed it, i went in with low expectations but it was quite decent, the only part i didn't like was the ending, i think dallas should of lived and got arrested, it didnt have to end in death.

I bet you he keeps a notepad in the bathroom and writes movies while taking a sht

Sorry I loved this movie!!! Black experience was real. We love his films. Get a grip!!

No you jealous of Hardick… he can act his azz off… now this script put him in a 2-4-6 😂😂😂 I like the way you give Perry grace… this ish was str8 comedy when I say I busted out laughing cracking up holding my stomach.. maaaan!!! 😂😂😂

How can you NOT know that Cory Hardrict is a veteran actor? He’s been in the industry since his childhood. In my opinion, this review would seem much more credible if you’d done a little research on the cast members’ filmography beforehand. That aside…..I do agree that TP falls short in producing anything cinematic. Never been a fan, honestly.

Movie was poor but please work on your speech skills u jump to thoughts b4 u finished another

I agree about the Dallas character having no redeeming qualities. I was thinking the whole time, “He’s not nice. He doesn’t have any money. He’s not drop-dead gorgeous. He’s not good in bed. He doesn’t like her. How did these two end up married? 😂

The movie is derivative; see Lifetime’s ’Death saved my Life’ in which Maegan Good is the lead actor - typical made-for-TV film with a much better plot. The opening scene of ‘Divorce in the Black’ was irreverent, so too was the pastor - Christianity teaches self-control, wisdom, prudence. I have yet to see a Tyler Perry film where blacks are not depicted as their worst selves- degenerates who succumb to every desire however destructive. There wasn’t a single righteous character in a film in which a Christian family is more or less the center. As for the acting, it was theatrical which is typical of Tyler Perry’s films and actors - perhaps it’s a prerequisite.

I didn’t see anything funny about it. I guess I liked it and could relate to it because I could relate to Ava. I’m still dealing with an ex husband who I’ve been divorced from for 4 years who’s a narcissist and an abuser who for the past 10 years the courts have told me they can’t do anything unless something happens (meaning unless someone dies).

I remember watching and asking if the husband was hard of hearing… why is he yelling 😂 then I thought… ohhhh he must be trying to act drunk. It was such a hard film to watch from the moment they took the body out of the casket… that went beyond the comprehension of far 😮 The best friend (female) gave the most depth to me as a character.
