The movie is a diary of one black woman's life - and you see her recording her diary throughout the movie. She supported and loved her husband with all her might for nearly 20 years, even tried having kids by him, but could not have any due to being stressed and suffering violent and shameful mental and physical abuse and humiliation by him. Early on (beginning of movie) her husband's betrayal and violent abuse is shown when he pretended to love her before others when receiving a reward at a function, only to be quite the opposite in private with her when going home - he gives her verbal cruelty, physical cruelty - dragging and casting her out of her own home before a woman whom he brings home to replace her (he secretly had children by this woman over the years). That is where the movie began, to let you know why she was so angry and to lead way to the remainder of the story, where she learned the meaning of true forgiveness. She later in the movie found herself, became victorious and met another of which she gained true love. Even though she suffered throughout the movie by her husband, she managed to keep her wonderful heart and never lost the love inside herself down to the end. Despite the seriousness of what was to be learned, the movie had many funny moments and laughter as well as pain. I love this movie for its excellent script, down-to-earth fun, sensitivity, humor, spirituality, music, and superb acting by all, including Tyler Perry's many roles. Tyler Perry manages to teach good morals/spiritual messages in all of his plays and movies, and in this one he taught the importance of forgiveness. It is only through true forgiveness that one can be victorious and free - to move on to a more happy and fulfilling life.Read full review
This was a great comedy - another of Tyler Perry's successes at making you laugh at the end of the day. I bought this as a Christmas present and the recipient has enjoyed it very much. I can't say I have any complaints on this one and I think the lesson is good... payback is well, you know what it is! Overall I would recommend this movie. So grab some popcorn and enjoy.
I have to admit that I was really surprised at how good this movie was. I thought it was going to be stupid. It was funny, touching, heart warming, and romantic. It is an excellent movie about a woman who is physically and emotionally abused, cheated on, and just treated terrible. She has been married for 18 years. She's a loving supportive wife, who does what she can to make her marriage work. Her husband cheats on her and even has children by the other woman. He breaks up with her on their anniversary and the other woman moves in. She finds love like she has never know with this other man. A few months later her husband is shot and his girlfriend leaves him. His wife comes back to help him, but he is still mean to her. She snaps and starts paying him back for abusing her. It's a really good movieRead full review
The one who rejected and hurt you just may need you most and you can heal and move on to a better life. Great message.
