Free looks nice to me. Much as I hate to I’m going to pass on this movie I was dissappointed with madea goes to jail, and daddy’s girl. I was okay with family reunion. I liked diary, and marriage, but I feel this one is going to be a strike, and since money tight I can’t gamble it

Not very excited 4 the movie, I can already predict the beginning 2 end, that’s ur typical tyler perry movie, but I’m still gonna check it out.
Taraji is looking fly as always. I’m not sure about marys hair but whatever
I could have done without MJB in the movie, we all KNOW, this BITCH can’t act 4 SHYT! Now I understand what Nia Long is saying!

I just want to MOLLYWOP “Ms. Jay”.
Mary..aren’t you like 88 like girl BYE!
Wendy is a man. Period. There is no way that is a woman. No way on God’s green Earth that “she” has a uterus. I refuse to believe that that’s a woman. Manly ass.
LOVE Tyler Perry and Taraji P. Henson!

Tyler Perry can stack paper until Christ comes back as long as he keeps telling stories about how dysfunctional the black woman is, and he has h*mosexual actors that will get on the casting couch with him for roles.

Its amazing to see all the hate that come Mary’s way. Is she 88 B&tch does she look 88 with that smooth skin and banging body?? Mary is a true example that you can make a change in your life for the better and thats why she is getting movie roles, Grammys, AT&T comercials, Chevy ads, GUCCI watches made for her foundation, Multiplatinum albums, buying 12 Million dollar houses (CASH) and being chauffered around town in a Maybach. I guess I would be mad too if I were a hater..Huh TIFFANY WILLIAMS

whoever it was that said you can already predict the ending…SO WHAT?Tyler Perry movies are just for entertainment..he has his types of movies and that’s it…it’s all just fun..
it’s interesting to see that the male love interest is Latino instead of black this time.

I love Wendy Williams, I have been a fan since high school but since I am from the west coast I couldn’t always listen to her. So glad she is on tv.

Tyler Perry movies are the best who cares if “they are all the same” or “you can predict the ending” it’s just great to have positive messages in Black movies.

@15
Oh you’re a tuffy! Lol girl BYE. I am not “hating” on Mary. Really. Should I “hate” because she has effin blonde hair at 45 (or however old she is) ? (it looks rediculous). Should I envy her husband (sweety I have mine). Should I envy her body (We all have one..lmao..and I’ve seen better). Should I envy her cash (I am in a VERY comfortable place right now..and NO I am not be cruising in a MAYBACH around town but my Mercedes works for me
) Should I hate her cause she has a 12 million dollar house? (Umm NO! I’m just thank GOD that I live in my own house).
If what you were saying were TRUE, Wouldn’t I be hating on EVERY artist who changed for the better, who’s buying 12 Million dollar houses, who’s riding in maybachs, and who has what seems to be 100’s of endorsements, and won about every award that they could get nominated for? Really? Incase you didn’t know, I am a fan of someone who has accomplished more than Mary throughout her whole career in less than 15 years. So don’t tell ME that I’m “hating”. LMAO!

Why u hating on Mary??? Mary has accomplished many things including overcoming a drug addiction and she looks hella good. At least she can still sing and has all of her teeth. We all wanted/want to be like Mary. She’s always on point (clothes and hair) and her body is sick… (wishing I had a Mary body) dayum she just tryna get that paper like the rest of us. U know what kills me is that most of these negative comments have spelling and grammatical errors… check that before u post a negative comment.
On another note, everyone looks good. Gayle’s son looks like his dad too… he used to be my advisor in college…

I will most definitely be going to see this movie. I encourage us all to support all black films but especially Tyler Perry’s. His movies are positive and doesn’t show black women in a negative light it shows us in a real light and also shows us how to overcome situations that many of us really find ourselves in. We have enough movies that have no message whatsoever, his movies not only give a positive message but they also entertain. Keep doing exactly what you are doing Tyler, we love you in the A.

Tyler’s movies do not depict black woman as bitter and hateful. What he shows is situations that have us at a certain place emotionally - how we got there and where it will take us, but he does not leave it at that. He shows us hurting but needing love like all women. I appreciate it is so much that he shows black women as vulnerable desiring to be love just like the rest of the women on the planet. Let’s keep it real, if we are heterosexual women we need a GOOD, Godly man in our lives and we deserve to find that.
We are so use to our black female characters playing all hard, no-nonsense and motherly that we think that is all we are and all we should represent. Much or why many of us are the way we are has to do with the lack of a father and lack of true love from a good man.
We are WOMEN first, then black and strong. We desire to be nuture and loved just like anyone else. I love that being shown to the world.

LOL who the hell hates on Mary? Fall back.
And Im going to need Taraji to slowly back off Adam Rodriguez before I snatch her weave off. He gets down with the chocolate but I’ve been in line longer so she needs to step back quickly. He is all types of fine, mmhhh
