Audience Reviews

Dasha K 1/10 Jun 18, 2025
Awful movie, the acting is amateur, and the story is atrocious. Really poorly written and the tone was all over the place. Also, there is no diversity at all in this movie, as all the headliners in the film are black. This is important to note in 2025. I thought Hollywood required diversity in movies? Hmm seems racist 🤔

Also, it is difficult to support this movie, considering that Tyler Perry, the director, has a notorious reputation of sexually assaulting and harassing young men in Hollywood. I have an actress friend from college who works in LA, and she said he'll eventually be on trial just like Diddy. Apparently everyone in LA knows what a creep he is 🤦🏻‍♀️
