Feel good film!

I'm really not sure why this film is getting such a bad rep. on IMDb, but the general public LOVED this one. What a winner! The two different plots in the this film were brilliant! This way, the movie had a little bit of everything. The whole time I was on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't say the two different stories "meshed" well, but there was a great moral to be learned. My favorite thing about this movie, and all of Tyler Perry's films, is the wonderful "feel good" mood they leave you in. His productions can always brighten the day. Enough said, this movie was more than satisfactory. Some people are clearly just too hard to please.
