The first evaluation of the movie is the plot.

The story starts off sweet and happy then all of a sudden the wife is physically dragged out her home and Charles is living in the house with his mistress. The plot twist came at the perfect timing and the pacing was not too fast.Perry did not rush the plot and everything was organize well, so the audience would not be confused while watching the movie. Tyler Perry keeps the movie going at a steady pace and movie was m=not too short or long.

Evaluating the characters in the movie, roles they played and their acting. Charles is the husband and the antagonist. While watching the movie, Charles, is Helen’s new man and he appears the same day Helen is thrown out the house. Orlando was very caring and interested in Helen constantly disrespects Helen and treats her like garbage. Helen is the wife and protagonist and in the movie, she showed Charles nothing but love. Even after Helen finds out that Charles has a mistress, she still was there when he was shot and could not take care of himself. Orlando because he knew she went through a

lot.
The actors were incredible because while watching the movie every emotion come out whether it’s happy, sad, and angry. When Helen cried in one scene you could see her pain and it was really emotional. Madea is Helen’s grandmother and she was the one who took Helen in after she was kicked out her home. Helen learned many life lessons while staying with Madea. When you’re watching the movie it makes you want to have a grandmother like Madea because she loved Helen and wanted nothing but happiness for her.
Finally, evaluating the cinematography and sound. This movie played many songs such as “I wanna swing” by Tyler Perry, “Growl” by Camara Kombon, “Aint Gonna Hurt Nobody” by Reginald Hargis, and etc. The music choice was good because every song that was played matched the situation. For example, when Helen was alone crying she song “Aint Gonna Hurt Nobody” started playing. The cinematography was great because Perry managed to play two roles and kept the edits clean and crisp.
Final thoughts about the movie, overall it was a great movie that was relatable to any woman in marriages. Perry did a fantastic with the editing and how he portrayed the characters. Watching this movie would make you feel either sad, happy, or angry. The movie is very relatable and it was based on a true story. It showed how the perfect marriage was not so perfect after all and it showed cheating, lying, and fighting.
