This was one of the worst movies that I’ve ever seen. I kept thinking that they were trying to be funny, but they weren’t – it was just bad acting.

 

[D-Dogg]

This is one of the worst movies I have NOT seen. And I did not see it for a good reason. It was pretty clear it would be absolute crap.

I knew the Bing would be there to validate my theory.

I walked out on this flick. It was poor up until that part I left, but the ridiculousness of the plot infuriated me. My wife actually liked this crap movie. Surprising since she's not a "mad black woman". Tyler Perrry does have a little bit of talent though. Family reunion should be better.
