Tasha Smith with her sword like words were so freaking awesome. I simply loved this movie. It's not only entertaining but also there were a lot of things to learn from it. As it's pretty much related to real life. It's like educating yourself about marriage.

amidst the pop psychology and well worn characatures there lies some wonderful ensemble performances that are breezy and very human. Add to this some wonderful overall performances by Jill Scott and Janet Jackson (who knew??) and you've got a commendable film that made me both l... read more

December 16, 2010fb653545547Clumsy structure? Certainly. One note characters? Perhaps. Simple answers to complex questions? Almost certainly. But know what? There's a human aspect to the film which makes it endearing and immensely watchable at the same time. Jill Scott is the absolute stand out here... read more

This is a great movie. It has the quick, witty humor that Tyler Perry often brings to the screen. It will make you think about life, honesty, and relationships. There are so many emotions in this film that you'll be laughing one minute, crying another. This movie drives home the ... read more

My critique of Tyler Perry's movies aside, I'm glad to see SOMEONE is keeping black actors employed...having said that, this movie was...okay. I'm a big fan of Jill Scott and Janet Jackson...as singers. I was too caught up in who they were as singers to buy them as the women they... read more

A great drama by Tyler Perry. Great story and the actors were fantastic in this great drama on the life of being married. Four couples retreat in the mountains to see what they can do to help their marriages out and the trials they have endured. Great movie to see.

An interesting movie about friendship, relationships, and the upside/downside of marriages. Great cast- Janet Jackson, Tasha Smith, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Michael J. White, and Malik Yoba. Worthy!

Like other reviewers of this movie, I can't believe the low ratings that some people gave it. I rented this movie as a lark. Other than hearing his name, I was really familiar with Tyler Perry and had seen alot of his other productions. My Lady (of 14 years) is out-of-town, and b... read more
Critic Reviews
None of these flaws will matter much to Perry's devoted audiences, whose support has enabled him to virtually build a media empire.
Despite the improbable ease of pic's genteel psychoanalysis, the characters are thesped with enough depth and emotional investment to make their problems feel legit. Full Review
[Perry] makes it easy on us, mostly by letting his cast do what it wants. Full Review
Perry, so adept at giving fans of his touring plays an evening that spans the entertainment gamut, once again delivers something for everyone. Full Review
Here's what filmmaker Tyler Perry does well: featuring characters not traditionally seen in movies. Here's where he could use some help: in toning down some grossly over-the-top dramatics. Full Review
In the end, it's easy to answer the question: why don't we care what happens one way or the other? Full Review
You don't have to be black to enjoy the film, but you do need a strong desire to watch people work out their issues using pop-psychology and self-help techniques. Full Review
Though still a stranger to subtlety, Mr. Perry has learned to balance the obviousness of his setups with characters whose interactions feel genuine.
Perry's comedy will likely never be breezy, and the film drags through its second hour. Full Review
