Having read previous reviews of this film before going, I was a bit skeptical of what the film would be like.
I had already seen the play and had been looking forward to the film version since I heard about it coming out.
Of course, I expected to laugh. Anyone familiar with the Madea character or had seen the trailer would know that, but I also knew there was a powerful story behind the comedy.
This story transcends race lines. It is a story of people who have been wronged and the strength they find in family, friends, their religion and within themselves.
The story coupled with the humor made for an enjoyable experience all around.
I was quite excited to see the mixed audience that came out to see the film today and even happier that everyone in the theatre seemed to enjoy this movie! I laughed and cried. Two things I generally do not do at a movie, even rarer at the same time.
Even though religion is discussed in the film, it is not done so in a way that would alienate people like myself, who are not religious.
Overall, this film had a story many would relate to and can be enjoyed immensely by those who go into it with an open mind.
