Divorce In The Black Movie Review | Tyler Perry

[@chination1796]

Tyler Perry keep doing the same Black women trauma movies he need to hire writers, producers, directors, etc

[@reginayfavors]

He hasn't healed over his mother's "abuse." She didn't directly abuse him, but she let it happen.

[@JB0523]

He’s literally projecting his childhood trauma into every movie he puts out and it’s getting old

[@reginayfavors]

@@JB0523 Yes! Somebody finally gets it. He is stuck somewhere in his childhood, and it is with his mother being abused verbally and/or physically by the man. Go back to every movie he has made, and you will see that is the common thread. It is time for him to grow up. You can have sense in one area of life and become a billionaire and still have no sense in life concerning the lack of quality of work you put out. It's time for him to grow up in all areas of life.

[@kimdarby1359]

The movie was good it was just diary of a black woman from another part of town.

[@reginayfavors]

@@kimdarby1359 Then that means he is not growing if you could pick that up so quickly. Diary was a long time ago. Unless a film is part two, it should have some difference. I'm glad you posted this comment. It has me thinking. Have a great one.

I feel you on this...I'm waiting for DOUBLE TOASTED. Listen, TP (obviousely) doesn't give a "F" waht we or the critics say. The man has his fan base and is laughing all the way to the bank, dude got more money that Beyonce...it is what it is, am I a fan, I admit I have a guilty pleasure for his Madea movies...his other movies seem to mean spirited for me, poorly edited, poor make up, poor screenwriting, badly directed and the man does not do his research before making a movie. But...BUT, I do admire his employment all African American actors and I am guessing behind the camera as well, he seems to be a solid business man. I just watched an interview with Megan Good and she stated TP let her quote her own paycheck...she was in tears when she saw it, that woman has been in the business over 30yrs and got the biggest check she has ever seen, it brought her to tears...I commend Mr. Perry for that.

[@latoyamcknight6730]

I actually enjoyed this one. I just watched it earlier with my grandmother we both were into it. I will never shit on Tyler because of the job security he always gives to the ones who stayed down with him from the start and even ones he works with later. I love this for my people.

[@MylezNevison]

The job security Tyler (the person) offers black actors is a good thing, but the art that Tyler (the artist) is having the black actors produce is bad. I think it's okay to separate the art from the person and call the art shit when it is. Criticising the art shouldn't be seen as an indictment on the person. Tyler's situation is bittersweet because it's like a man who does the good deed of feeding homeless people. However, the catch being, most of the food he feeds the homeless is rotten... It's a moral conundrum because rotten food in the short term is better than no food at all. However, the same rotten food has the downside of making those hungry people sick in the long run. It's a lesser of 2 evils scenario. So, Yes, Tyler may indeed be providing job security (food on actors' plates), but in the longrun the quality of the work will never showcase his actors' acting chops/talent in the best light (potentially making it hard for them to be taken seriously). Just as the rotten food robs the homeless' health, bad acting gigs/bad movies rob an actor of being considered for future good roles (it kills their career in the long run as they will be type-cast as bad film actors). That's why we should call out the bad art; to put pressure on Tyler to improve the quality of his work. It's not only for the sake/health of his actors' futures, but it's for himself too. *Spare the rod, spoil the child.*

I see what you're saying about his acting, but when I tell you he made me flashback to a situation in my life w/someone who was that type of angry... I had no point of reference to know he'd be that type of person bc I'd never met anyone like that before, and hadn't seen the women in my family dealing with that type of man. I got away from the situation, but he was an off kilter angry like Hardwick played. It was realistic to me, but her reaction to it was way different from mine, bc I wasn't trying to fight to stay w/him. I was trying to get away safely.

The way she signed the divorce papers without reading them, based on a verbal conversation they previously had.

It had some flaws in typical Tyler Perry fashion but it was not as bad as his previous 3, Mea Culpa, A Fall from Grace and Acrimony. Those were his worse 3 and it looked like that was the path he was going to continue to go down. This movie was a smidgen better so hopefully his movies will get better.

I remember him as the chief of police in Streets of Fire (1984). It starred William Defoe as the leader of a biker gang that kidnapped a rock star played by Diane Lane and Stoney Jackson & Robert Townsend were members of an R&B group that opened for her.

[@thecurator2626]

I loved Bones and didn’t realize Richard Lawson was also in How Stella Got Her Groove Back and For Colored Girls. I see how Tina Knowles had to circle back around to him for a while. He is still quite handsome.

[@sassymasassyma5169]

Richard Lawson was Loretta Divine's love interest in For Colored Girls and he was on Good Times when JJ dreamt he was white.

[@babyzorilla]

Lol

[@wendylee7242]

Poltergeist the first one.. he's been around...

[@lightningmuhqween4828]

The church scene at the beginning of this hot mess came straight out of a Monty Python skit. I have never laughed so hard at a scene that was supposed to be dramatic in my life. What’s funnier as that TP wrote it down and thought it was good.

[@Nonetomuch]

I was expecting to see the bleach bottle lol

[@danavixen6274]

Right! 😂

[@autumn975]

Me too! 😂

[@shelceyhampton5253]

Right!

[@felicia2733]

Corey did an excellent job very believable. Just wanted to mention that since I didn’t hear it in this commentary.

[@CinemaSensei-ki7bv]

Everyone keeps making excuses for Tyler and I just don't understand why! He has enough money to produce competent films!

[@roni-yah9342]

You were very kind in your review.

[@mlynettepinky595]

Tyler Perry knows he is wrong I watching the funeral scene now😂 If this man don't hire some writers and stop this foolishness, they need to revoke his black card.

[@tracylee4451]

Richard Lawson is the former husband of Beyoncé's momma Tina Knowles (post Matthew Knowles)

[@sassybdiy7565]

I hate he got attached to that family because he's been acting way before them but now THAT'S going to be in his liner notes forever.

[@tracylee4451]

@@sassybdiy7565 I only attached him because he stated in the video that he didn't know who he was.

[@RahYisrael99]

You just discredited this man's entire acting catalog. Lol

[@dickersonr6172]

He’s Bianca Lawson father

[@seektruth5750]

No, define him by his work

[@reginayfavors]

New subscriber. Great video. Tyler Perry is still in the Golden Girls and black trauma/woe is me area of life. I didn't go to film school, but I just have a way of looking at a film and interpreting it. One thing that is a standard in film school and/or film classes is watching Alfred Hitchcock films. You will see his techniques manifested in a lot of films made by white writers and directors. Many of the Mission Impossible films have the Hitchcock touch. When Tyler was on the set of Gone Girl, he listened to Ben Affleck discuss a scene, and Ben and the writers/directors mentioned Hitchcock. Tyler said that he didn't know anything about what they were discussing. Watch films. Study them. At this point, Tyler is just making films akin to black exploitation. This time he is luring black actors in with money over substance. He is a billionaire, but they are not. They still have to work and get other parts in other films. He needs to consider that too because at this point, he is simply getting big name black actors to play parts to legitimize his work when the work is still revealing itself as unqualified.

[@JayKnight13]

This movie made me realize how much he hates Black women.

[@thepurpleone5959]

Black people it’s always a negative undertone. Different demographics of people have different views on life, he always has a typical southern stereotype of BP not living up to social norms.

[@calvalenagreen7730]

Why do people always gotta complain about Tyler Perry movies…I think the movies was good

[@LayaLay_Duhh]

Okay I thought I was the only one😂 I think people just love to hate on Tyler💯

[@iamshesheisme8954]

I realize it's not the actors that are bad actors, it's Tyler perry's directing. I've seen how Karen from sisters act in 'if beale street could talk' and the acting was night and day. I used to watch the queens men and I could clearly tell when Tyler began to take a hands on approach and that's when I stopped watching it.

[@danavixen6274]

Brandon is going to tear this up. 🤣 All of these back to back movies with lack of a plot and/or logic. TP should take a sabbatical and be about QUALITY and not QUANTITY! 🙄

[@moniquewrites9046]

I was so pumped to see Cory Hardict. But who wants an erotic church movie!? I’m glad they got paid but I wish this could have moved through a little better. A family that prays is his best work!!

[@lolagray8394]

Point blank the movie was good,the actors,script,the writer was good go Tyler Perry

[@karmaserene]

Yall are dragging this. I really enjoyed this movie 😂😊

[@justmyopinion84]

Glad you enjoyed it lol

[@11940ful]

Great review! Very professional. Keep doing you! ♥️

[@justmyopinion84]

Thank you so much!

[@mlynettepinky595]

Kerry Washington has a movie with Perry. Tyler Perry has a movie about Black History Black women in the military during WW2 Lets hope and 🙏, he doesn't screw this up. We don't have that many movies about Blacks in the military during WW2. Knowing him, he will have struggling black woman who is being abused by a black man. And she joins the military to escape his abuse.

[@Zim24Diva]

Then he’ll come running to get her back and she’ll reject him with some corny monologue.

[@dreamland2022]

Wait is he a writer for the new WW2 movie starring Kerry Washington did he write the movie ?

[@theladymel7039]

TP’s movies are awfully Predictable. The best I’ve seen from TP is the Jazzman’s Blues. He needs a new writer PERIOD. Cory Hardict did a great job as well as Meghan Good on the movie otherwise, it would be a flop in my opinion

[@neecysmith7119]

Hi Brandon. Your Tyler Perry reviews are epic!!! Acrimony Your Acrimony review is my all time favorite. This one was good too!❤

[@alysecooke8536]

I've seen Lifetime and yes even Tubi movies with better storylines. It's getting weird how no one holds TP accountable for better material. What were Megan and Cory thinking???

[@woodahmoo]

I can’t even sit through this review because i’m trying to forget i sat and watched that “movie”

[@JTS1128]

Completely agree with this review First half was so hard to get through, like the dialogue and unbelievability was rough and the second half was better The actors held it up but the writing and situations were brutal Also I just realized, Tyler doesn’t use like scores, he just uses like stock sounds lol I feel like scores help elevate movies to a degree

[@OGMillyMillz_]

I’m ready for this review 😂😂😂

[@thumbsaloft]

I love that it goes to different places and I like the extremes! Movies are supposed to take you somewhere you haven't been. I watch a TP movie for his STYLE, HIS WRITING, HIS STORIES. So I get what I'm looking for and what I enjoy! It was a GOOD MOVIE to me!

[@watchyamouth22]

Your face on the thumbnail tells me everything I need to know 😂😂

[@creolelady182]

Perry hired Richard Lawson after Tina Knowles dropped him. he needed the job

[@priscillavalentine5036]

Tyler has to do better and get some writers to help out on his work, or he won't have any decent quality actors that won't waste their talent in his productions.

[@sherrymshephard-massat5929]

hey, Brandon! I'd not heard of this film before now and it sounds like, even though I'm laid up with a swollen knee, and in the perfect position to watch a bad B (or C) movie, I'm still cautious. It means that if the first half is as bad as you say, I can't just jump up and go in the kitchen for another cookie, peanut butter bread or fruit snack. Because of my injured knee, I'd just have to lay there and bare it waiting for this not-as-bad second half. Also, you said that you'd never seen Richard Lawson before; I bet you have, though. He was in 'Poltergeist'. He showed up with the lil' short lady that cleaned out the house.

[@tangee8252]

It was just a movie. I thought it was pretty good. Cory is a good actor.

[@lorrainedowning5809]

I loved the Movie...Divorce in the Black❤🎉😊

[@jeanc6295]

The funeral scene was absolutely terrible. It's a bottom feeder movie never will watch it again

[@jenniferhalliwell416]

Brandon, you've been "respectfully" standing on Tyler's neck for a long time! I often rewatch your video of your review of "Fall From Grace" just to laugh at your reaction to the one guy's hair! And anyone who has not seen Brandon's review of that movie do yourselves a favor and watch it to have a good laugh!

[@ShawnALLWorld]

Damn this seem so bad I just might watch to get a good laugh 😂😅

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

I paused it several times lol.

[@latashakendrick9709]

Same here....

[@robertbutler9130]

I thought it was terrible, the acting and it seemed kinda low budget to me

[@nancyfischer4875]

Yes it was terrible a lot of people are band wagoners that’s it that’s all don’t have a mind of their own

[@NaijaCouture]

The whole thing fell flat for me. The acting in the first half made it hard stay invested to the end. And to your point, the development of the characters was lacking. Maybe if there was more of backstory in the beginning, that could have helped.

[@secreteobsession3584]

Me to I've been waiting for your review. I was impressed it was good megan husband character of ike turner the way he walked and spoke u was on edge sometimes as it felt like he was going to hurt her

[@JanuaryFlowers]

😂 the bottom of the middle 👏🏽 appreciate your honesty 💯

[@___toyatootrill]

I’ve been waiting for you 😂😂

[@tonyrossbackinthedaymusicv3107]

I really enjoyed Tyler Perry's new movie Divorce In Black, It's number 1 on Amazon Prime. I think i'm gonna watch it again.
