Horribly miscast, some characters overacted, some (Rick Fox) cannot act and the ones who are VERY good actors (Angela Bassett) made him even WORSE...the movie is so all over the place with over/under acting it is ridiculously annoying...horrible attempts at comedy, boring, predictable plot, this movie was impossible to sit through after 40 minutes I had enough and turned it off. One of the worse movies I have ever TRIED to watch.

One of my pet peeves is hearing people contend that Tyler Perry makes "black films." Being off-pink myself, I've never met another "white" person who has even seen one of his works, and that's quite sad because his body of feature films, this one especially, speak with equal depth and grace to people of all colors. If a heart beats behind your chest, if you've ever loved someone, and if you have a sense of humor, you'd be hard pressed to find a better series of films than Mr. Perry's to move you in unlikely ways.

Now I'll grant you that Mr. Perry's films are somewhat predictable, but so are those of a hundred popular directors. And I'll grant you that they're a bit, well, corny... but I don't care. Most classics are, at least those not based on car chases and explosions.

When I watch a Tyler Perry film I usually find myself thinking that the main characters behave in the end the way humans are supposed to. With love and support and positive energy. In fact, I usually wish I knew these people myself. I wish they were my neighbors.

This is Angela Bassett's finest performance, by a mile, and the rest of the cast shine as they always do under Perry's direction. And as always, they and their writer/producer/director guru make you laugh, cry, feel and think all in a clever, warm-hearted package. Not an easy trick these days.

Yeah, I know, it's not cool to like Tyler Perry films. Again, I don't care. They make me feel good. I could get out my thesaurus and my dictionary and my compendium of film school terms and put this in flowery academic flourishes, but that's the bottom line for me. Perry makes me feel good.

The storyline is quite relevant for our time. So young people need to understand that easy money is not also the best option however working hard to achieve will reap good reward.

I have not received my 2 copies ordered of Meet the Browns. Have sent an email to the seller. Have not received a response. Your assistance is greatly needed and appreciated.

Thanks,
