DETAILED STORYLINE
.
Movie Type (Genre) Heading
Comedy - Like all of Tyler Perry's films, this mixes broad comedy with serious drama, but this time the balance is tilted toward the serious and has a lot more music. Fans of Perry's Madea character may be disappointed by her reduced role here, while fans of star Taraji P. Henson will be pleased with her showcase lead role.

OPINION GRAPH

OPINION OVERVIEW
The following is the original "What's Worth Watching" write-up for this movie.

Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 104 moviegoers: Tyler Perry has produced another hit! These are GREAT REVIEWS from nearly everyone. When over half the reviews are "Fantastic" and most of the rest are "Excellent," it's a movie that I CAN VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

D ETAILED S TORYLINE
When Madea, America’s favorite pistol-packing grandma, catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April. A heavy-drinking nightclub singer who lives off of her married boyfriend Randy, April wants nothing to do with the kids. But her attitude begins to change when Sandino, a handsome Mexican immigrant looking for work, moves into April’s basement room. Making amends for his own troubled past, Sandino challenges April to open her heart. And April soon realizes she must make the biggest choice of her life: between her old ways with Randy and the new possibilities of family, faith…and even true love.
