Is Getting COMPLETELY Unfair Treatment, 23 July 2008
7/10
Author: Dragoneyed363 from United States

Wow, I could see how SOME people would've thought this movie was horrible, but a 2.5 rating and so many negative comments?NO!!!!!This movie was great.It wasn't as funny as the other Tyler Perry movies, and it wasn't the best, but hey, it's certainly not the worst, and it is certainly not horrible AT ALL.It was actually really entertaining to watch, and even though it was SO cliché, it was still very enjoyable, and overall a great way to spend some time when you're bored.I even found the Madea scene one of the best scenes in here, and even though I wish there would've been more of her, people better be appreciative that they put some of her in Meet The Browns.Well, I will say don't let anything stop you from seeing this movie if you want to, and if you decide not to see it, your loss.
