REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 28-Jun-2006)

This is a well made movie that interweaves between the lives of two couples, both Madea's nieces, while hovering around Madea and her court-ordered charge of an undesired foster child. The movie draws comparisons between love for money and genuine agape love. The character's really keep things moving and the tension between some of them is gut wrenching. Lisa Anderson's plays the niece that was raped by step-father which her mother helped to facilitate. Her sister is in a violent and abusive relationship with a fiancé' who's in cahoots with both girls mother. Lisa's acting was above all other's moving and brought a few tears to my eyes as she relayed the pain and the joy her character experiences through it. This is a movie that tries to relay the message that there is a proper way to live and act and that we need to rely on a higher authority than ourselves to achieve that. There were a few sections that moved a bit slow for me, but overall I will be watching this movie again. There are lots of sub-messages and lessons we can all use in our daily lives to be more compassionate with and about one another.
