the audience applauded

Best movie ever!

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Blistering performances.

Watching the video for the first time and I know there is a point to this.. Yes black women get angry the rate however differs from person to person but honestly so do black man. The point of view here is one from a black man's point of view but if we have to flip the coin we'll see why black women are angry surrounded by bums for husbands, boyfriends and life partners or drug dealers who care for no one but themselves, sloths who just know how to get there when it's time to eat but not know how to work, violent angry men who have no control over their anger and as a result of their cunning facade are able to get women to marry them... Sometimes society is to blame coz nice a woman gets to a certain age without a man it becomes a taboo n she marries whoever just to belong... There are soo many factors that could affect a woman's psych but d same goes for men.. However why didn't the editor edit the point of view segment coz d main characters business was all out there.. Hahahhahahahaha soo sorry I couldn't help but notice it... He tried sooo hard to cover it with his bottled water but naaaaaaaa brothers got huge apples... Back to seriousness the guy going on about decision making should please remind himself how many decisions he's ever made that's been sooo accurate MR PERFECT.. I like those who made it clear that it ain't a black thing but a human or people thing this stereotype of black women is much cause white people have the same attitude and is even worse.. Am sure some of these men speaking even hit their women.. However regardless of race or color truth or sex is if any body has not and cannot find themselves they can never know what they' want.. Gross with the spitting that's just gross.. I feel the lady psychologist in green she made sooo much sense. But em question why did jimmy divorce Kimora lee Simmons if he is sooo perfect abi she get issue to? In summary as much as I see some sense to this movie it's biased in making all black woman look monstrous and all women look we all have issues while the black men are still very much part of the problem and not holy... I need me a white guy please coz I can't seem to find any good black men...

I saw this movie, but I left it on at night and then the DVD player was busted. So, in essence, I really didn't pay much attention or know what it was about. When I saw the main character's face on the cover, I assumed the man was still angry about his people or something. I mean, when you look at it, what's he so unhappy about? Is he looking at me? You? I'm not sure what is going on. The title says he is pretty tired, but he appears to be rather disappointed.Then again, the woman seems to be rather disappointed with him. I sure hope he was able to provide a nice trip down under or something. That's in this movie right? I guess that's what I get for getting a movie to just mess around with for two hours. Seriously though, the title and the cover is funnier than the movie. It needs to be Photoshopped and put into various things like... An American Tail or something, I dunno.

Tim Alexander's movie can show young black women who don't want to make the mistake of "living and learning" that there are good black men out there.It is the job of the elder generation to share their experiences and show the young folk how to avoid making the same mistakes and have a better understanding of each other..who should not want that.Loving each other should not be this hard..Tim has taken on the job, out of love to try and wake up the village.You sure won't see any movie of this importance to the community coming out of Hollywood.

This movie could have addressed the issues in black relationships in a meaningful way. Instead it presented the same old Sapphire caricature accompanied by bad acting and worse writing. The premise is a relationship between a perfect black man, James, who is constantly abused by his irrationally angry wife, Tonya. There are several short scenes that can be summed up with black man = good; black woman = angry. Foiling this perfect male character against a dramatically flawed woman combined with the unrealistic scenarios and terrible acting makes this so called docudrama feel completely unrealistic. But then an attempt is made to relate these far fetched scenarios to the real world by interviewing some black men, who likely have little in common with the handsome, financially prosperous and near perfect James. Of course these men claim that black women are angry.The black community has low rates of marriage. Most of the men interviewed were no doubt complaining about women that they hadn't bothered to marry despite having children together, or women who have all of the burdens of being a wife with none of the benefits. Most black women do not have the opportunity to be stay home wives and mothers with high earning husbands who live in nice neighborhoods. They are instead dealing with men who suffer from high rates of unemployment, who earn low incomes on average and who often insist that women handle most of the housework and child care despite working full time jobs to support the family. Anger in this context takes on an entirely different meaning.Instead of addressing the reality of many black people's situations in this country this movie tried to apply a situation in which a woman has no reason to be angry to the many women who are experiencing the normal human emotion of anger with good reason. The result is an insulting caricature, a strawman argument for the problems with black relationships, and the waste of a great opportunity to explore the issues in those relationships with any depth. The filmmaker simply scapegoated black women and repackaged the Sapphire caricature that dates back to minstrel shows of the past.
