As a avoid-er of most Tyler Perrys movies due to the constant and insulting black clichés, I'm reading the disparaging comments here and it appears they don't see the blatant statements that Tyler Perry was attempting to make. It's a shame that in movies everything has to be spelled out and viewers no longer want to use their imaginations. 1. The different narrator represents that although the person speaking is talking about herself, she is a completely different person after this ordeal. 3. Lance Gross was chosen as Judith's husband to indicate that her husband was VERY attractive, and most people don't usually cheat based on looks, but how that someone made them feel. How many times have we've seen men cheat with BS, when they have a beautiful wife at home??? All of the time! 4. The age & appearance differences in the end represent the emotional toll and internal stress/pain that Brice and Judith both suffered as a result of the affair, while Melinda/Karen emotionally heals and although has HIV, is in a better place with time, hence she still looks young. 5. The birthday excuse and petty nit-picking also correctly depicts how small issues are magnified, providing justification and to reduce guilt. 6. Harley's character also depicts how someone's trash (Melinda) can be someone else's treasure. Additionally, his forcefulness was regarded as abusive by Melinda which is why she lived in fear, and passionate by Judith, perhaps that same passion she felt was missing from her marriage, as we watch Judith become Melinda. 7. The use of drugs represent an addiction or "high" received from sex for Harley and the addiction of attention for Judith instead of them tackling their past deep rooted issues. 8. Her mother represents her conscience, the constant reminder of her Christian upbringing/background and acknowledging right from wrong, finally reuniting and left alone with her conscience.I will reiterate, I am definitely not a fan of Tyler Perry, however this movie is overall thought provoking and worth viewing.

Simple. Stupid. Seriously flawed. "This yo plane?" Really? This is how a college-educated woman speaks? I had a really difficult time getting through this movie. It was that awful and there was so much to overlook to keep watching. The first being the role awarded to Kim Kardashian. This woman CAN NOT ACT! She was horrible. But, Jurnee, who actually is a good actress wasn't much better. The script was absurd. And for a woman that was supposed to be smart, boy was she stupid. First, walking down the street she is horrified that her husband doesn't step to three thugs who call her a name. Really? Then, some sort of smooth-talking guy (seriously debatable) makes it obvious he wants to screw her and only then is there a problem with her marriage. And who would ask advice from an office-mate whose every word is debasing and demoralizing. And, it was more than apparent that Brandy's character's ex *SPOILER ALERT* would be the demonized Harley, who also just happens to have HIV. Really? The moral to the story, cheat on your husband and get HIV. Turn away from God and get HIV. Disrespect your mother and get HIV. I give Tyler Perry two stars for at least changing it up a bit with the characters. For once all the dark-skinned people weren't villains and all the light-skinned folks angels.

the movie was quite beautifully made, so i gave a three star and the story line was quite a surprise at the end even though everything else was very predictable. the Judith character just doesn't make sense. i don't know what got into the mind of the story write or does/he know how a woman with ambition of her career just doesn't turn into a crack-head in a few days. why someone with that kind of ambition becomes an drug user within just a few days. if she was Ava to begin with...then the whole story line really make sense. or maybe the movie should say Judith had a bipolar disorder. the whole story line was so make believe without really understand what it takes to be successful. and who on earth would expect their career to take off after working less than 3 years? she supposedly to have a master degree, so she went to college and go straight to graduate school that's totally 6 years. 18+6= 24 years old. did the write know how long does it take to get a master degree. if she's in her mid 30s then this would have made a whole lot more sense. i am convinced the story write got no education at all. and the billionaire - he's a billionaire so he could afford to invest in the matchmaker and Judith's career. it's not like he's buying a huge piece of land in Manhattan and build a 100 story high rise. it seems like this movie is made for someone who doesn't have any sense of how this world work or grew up in a desert island.and why most of T.Perry's movies are about women betraying their husbands for a rich man????

This movie had me confused from start to finish...I thought for sure she wouldn't give in to this man after being with her husband for 19 yrs...he wasn't even cute why didn't lance gross or shemarr Moore play this character? brandy acted as if dude was stalking her when he wasn't....I just didn't get the whole thing...why was Kim kardashian playing and dressing like her normal self when she was suppose to be a professional?... Why was this couple living like they were poor when the both of them had wealth? What was the point of the French accent?... A better ending would have been if Judith died from aids and someone else was telling the story.
