Plot 411: A woman must taken in her niece and nephews when their caretaker, her mother, goes missing.
Review: This is the worst Tyler Perry movie I've ever seen. I think the script was really bad. Most of Perry's movies possess a deeper meaning that is relatable to most audiences. You are able to pull something from it no matter where you are in your life. The plots all seem to have a purpose that is fulflled by the end of the movie. However, the pace of this movie was just dreadfully slow. Instead of building up emotionally, like most of Perry's movies, this one seemed to drag along and I found my mind wandering. Major character development seemed to stagger forward instead of evolve. Some of the lines were cheesy as all hell. Taraji P. Henson plays April, a nightclub singer who doesn't possess the ability to love anyone. She lives her life apart from her family and is in a relationship with a married man (Brian J. White), thus creating a barrier between herself and the world. When her mother, the guardian of her sister's children, goes missing, she is forced to take in her niece and two nephews. She also takes in Sandino (Adam Rodriguez), on the advice of her paster, because he is down on his luck. I think Rodriguez should stick with CSI: Miami instead of going to the big screen. He doesn't exude the pressences of a leading man. The film made good use of Gladys Knight, Marvin Winans and Mary J. Blige by killing an unknown number of minutes by giving them solos.

Watch It: Maybe if you enjoy Tyler Perry overall. If you don't like him, this movie will make you hate him.
Skip It: Because Madea is barely in this movie and I've gotta say that she's probably the best part of the film.
