Movie review
From Time Out New York
Faulting Tyler Perry for his nonsensical, melodramatic plots is a little like accusing Douglas Sirk of using too much color. In this soaper about four couples in various states of marital discord, Perry leaves the Madea padding behind; the fat enhancement is worn by Jill Scott, who finds the love of a good man in the Rockies. To the writer-director’s great credit, he actually seems to like his characters, especially the women—which can’t be said of most men who don fat-female drag. But note: Five cast members in Perry’s film have appeared on the CW’s Girlfriends, which, now in its eighth season, tackles the same themes with far more finesse and intelligenceAuthor: Melissa Anderson
