Facts

[@kamsismith]

I'm surprised that the movie hasn't been made yet. I know that we have the HBO documentary, but if Bob Marley could get a biopic despite it being underwhelming, Donna Summer should too.

[@simplyjuannie5128]

They'd have to ask her family, record labels, and the people responsible for her catalog. We don't want another repeat of Wendy Williams presents: Aaliyah, the princess of R & B

[@kamsismith]

I remember that two of Donna’s daughters did an interview and they said they would be open to a biopic, they just need to find the right people to tell their mother’s story. You're right, I don't want it to be similar to Aaliyah or Bob Marley in terms of it not being good.

and we have yet ANOTHER beautifully tragic black female protagonist who is successful in her own right but allows a weak man to usher in her downfall. mind you, this tired trope Tyler Perry is so obsessed with is almost always executed in such a poor manner(acting, writing, plot continuity and timing, etc) as if to deliver one final slap in the face to the core audience who helped propel his career so high for so long. tyler perry does not like, or even respect blk women and you cannot convince me otherwise lol

[@MrsNgabire]

I've been saying this.. Tyler Perry despises black women, especially if they're successful and independent smh

[@dawb86]

He doesn't dislike or even intentionally disrespect Black women. He doesn't UNDERSTAND them and isn't qualified to be making films with them as the protagonists OR antagonists without some form of consultation before he makes these projects. He'd be a lot better off having Black women writers that he gives his basic ideas to and has them craft the scripts that he then goes and directs but I do believe he's a bit too vainglorious to accept that writing is nowhere near being his strong suit at this point in his career.....

[@tika2glamorous]

The acting was so BAD…..so bad. Like I couldn’t take anything seriously. Then she acted “shocked” when she found out he does the art on celling thingy for all his women 😂😂😂 then what really made me mad is that she watched him sleep with another woman then went back like it was her turn 😂

Want show the brothers were of mixed Heritage show the white dad pic and sob story of his death. All I seen was a racist with some brown sons

[@nostalgicalx4417]

I just couldn’t take this film seriously…Mea who’s a six figure lawyer that’s supposed to come as off strong and intelligent falls into lust with an alleged murderer because he’s attractive and her marriage is failing? Zyair comes off as pretty creepy even when he hits on Mea. Bruh that’s your lawyer. She’s supposed to help get you off criminal charges. not get you off. Mea should’ve quit when she came to the conclusion that he’s into her. Not all lawyers of mea’s caliber are gonna shit where they eat. Especially with the type of money she seems to make. You get disrespected and nearly killed by your in-laws, jobless husband, and you’re a successful black female attorney? Ain’t no way you didn’t peep this behavior prior. She was better off divorcing Kal, dropping Zyair’s case, and starting all over. It’s basically Tyler Perry’s temptation but with a boneless murder mystery thrown in. At least Temptation had some consistency. You can’t always get away with making movies with plots and scripts that don’t make sense because you’re the creator😑

[@naturalsbynya6194]

So true! I had the stank face the whole movie! It wasn't believable at all. There was no plot, no character development, and it made no sense. Kelly Rowland is sooooo much better than this role! I agree 100%

I hated that they made Kelly's character so weak? I though her character was going to be a boss that didn't take shit from anyone. Yet, she took shit from everyone. Also this movie had way too many plot holes and loose-ends. 1.They never explained how the Mea's sister-in-law met the Zahir and ended up having an affair or how her husband found out. 2. They never explained how the brother-in-law convinced Hydie to go along with the plan. 3. Never explained what happened to Hydie after it was discovered she was still alive. 4. Whose blood and skull fragments were is found in the apartment since we found out Hydie was still alive. 5. Mea showed ZERO interest in her husband most of the movie. She even planned to go to the DR with Zahir. But after she cheated, all of a sudden she started acting like she cared about her relationship. 6. They never discussed that sex dungeon they went too. It like they forgot it even happened. 7. Who took that picture of the husband and the friend going into the hotel room together and who sent it to Mea's partner. It's too many things to list. This movie was terrible.

[@jeromejenkins151]

​@@blacknbougie8021nah he does it to show that even when a woman does something wrong it's for the right reason and should be forgiven. He's catering to the No Accountability sector of black women. Which I don't like because there are plenty of moral women out here that would rather leave the bad relationship they're in first before going out to cheat and using their bad relationship as an excuse. Which is why this story only makes sense to a 20 year old. Because with a more mature black woman which (Kelly portraits)that's exactly what would have happened. She would have just left. That way she can do whatever she wants with whoever she wants without all the drama. Her deciding to cheat instead of just leaving is what makes everything that happens afterwards so unbelievable.

What made this movie so difficult for me to get through was the pacing. It definitely should've been around 90 minutes & not 2 hours.

I watched it last night & had several takes on the film that in my opinion is worst than a tubi movie: 1.) The 2 main characters are terrible actors. 2.) There was basically no plot 3.) The sex scene is absolutely terrible [ who fantasizes about having sex in paint] 4.) So then after a terribly acted movie the finale is so out there that it's laughable [ this woman who weighs 100 lbs soaking wet beats the hell out of 2 men & leaves without a scratch]

TP is just disrespectful regarding the intelligence of his viewers. My lady and I sipped wine and laughed at his egregiously lazy writing. The psycho-killer family reveal was simply dumb. Trevante Rhodes was high as a kite while he sleepwalked and mumbled through his scenes. RonReaco Lee seemed to be the only professional actor in the movie. Kelly is a better actress than Beyonce but her Botox facial expressions in every scene (regardless of the circumstances) were hilarious. We had fun with this flick and all I can say is TP definitely hates women and loves him some mensss… 😂🤣😂

Tyler Perry makes the best unintentional comedies it's like the harder he "tries" to make a deep serious film the funnier they are I can only imagine how hard I would have laughed if I watched this after smoking lol.

I don’t know if someone already brought this up but how the mother spoke to Mae at her birthday party got me thinking there is no way in hell this would fly in real life, the disrespect + the optics, confirmed for me Tyler Perry dislikes black women. I do not care argue with the wall, she don’t even give push back like what?!

[@christianataylor8926]

There was literally SO much wrong with this film but I must say that despite it being RIDICULOUS, I was lowkey entertained lol Cons/questions/holes: 1. whose skull fragments and blood were on the paintings if not Hydie’s? 2. Why in TF would 911 call Kyle back, like BFFR! 3. The way Kyle flew out that car reminded me of Issa Rae shooting Elijah in the trash can and had me CACKLING. 4. Mea did all that discussion about being private then went riding on a motorcycle IN PUBLIC with her client. Huh?!? 5. Where was that money Mea was paying going if not to the mother’s medical bills? 6. Why TF did Charisse just stand there as they debated who would st@b her? 7. All it took to get away from Mea was Hydie grabbing some cleaner and spraying it in her direction 🥴I could literally go on and on but I’ll just stop here lol

[@mochalily3735]

GIRL! The plot holes were crazy. I too would like to know whose blood and skull fragments were found at the crime scene. They said it match the DNA profile for Heidi but how did they get her DNA profile if she was missing? They obviously didn’t have her in their system because she was under a false identity. Did they murder some random women in his apartment, hide the body and then falsify DNA records to say Heidi’s name instead of the real victim? How did they explain why she was in the system to be matched in the first place? Why was that man more worried about getting Mea in the sheets than staying off death row? Why did they say Kal didn’t know about the plan when he actually knew?! Why didn’t her “best friend” say ANYTHING? What happens to the kids? Did Charlise survive? Does Mea still have a job? Cause why was she wearing that weak disguise at the end?! 😂😂

[@LadyDuchess]

Or why didn’t Zyair tell Mea (his freakin’ lawyer, btw) that he smashed the prosecutor’s wife and could be being set-up for murder? 🤔

There were a lot of unanswered questions for this movie. The only part that slightly saved this movie is the s*x paint scene…that’s it. Mea should’ve told it everything about her crooked husband. To be a part of a family that doesn’t like you is wild. And it wouldn’t be a Tyler Perry film if the character with sense abandons their good sense.

I would assume so everything would unfold and she would learn about the toxic family she married into on her own. Q: Did Zyair pick her to reveal the unknown and send that family crashing down? Q: What was the purpose of the adult party downstairs scene? It had no significance.

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

I can give one answer for all of your questions. A: Tyler Perry does not write good scripts. His TV shows and movies suffer due to his lack of creativity and his desire to finish writing quickly instead of taking time to be sure the stories are concise and complete.

[@InspirationalSpaceship]

I mean what did we expect from Tyler Perry. Yall lucky Madea ain’t make a cameo appearance 😅😊

Kelly tried and I hope she finds a better suited project in the future . Trevante honeyyy didn’t try at all he seemed bored for most of the film and only showed any sort of personality during the freaknik scenes . I really can’t blame him .. this script was a crazier than a soup sandwich 🥪. He must have just signed up for the bag . I really believe that Tyler and the production company decided to make this so outrageous just so it would go viral . Virality is the new entertainment currency.

I’m led to believe women consider every man, whether ugly or average-looking, to be ‘fine’ so long as he works out and is famous. Jonathan Majors and this dude in this movie are just not good-looking.

I have no idea what people see in Jonathan Majors. Granted, beauty is VERY subjective and blks have been brainwashed to accept the white standard of beauty as attractive but there is no way that man is good looking in ANY society ANYWHERE.
