The best of the Tyler Perry movies (so far)
My Angle: Shows a clear message that wealth does not lead to happiness. Honest portrayal of the "deals" we make in life that turn on us.
Kid Friendly: No - none of the Perry movies are kid friendly.
Spirituality: Like most Tyler Perry productions spirituality is highly on display. Unfortunately this is not the Bible's Christianity but something a little closer to self help or Oprah's new age gospel.
The closing line of the movie is the most dissapointing. I was so excited by the movie up to this point (well with the exception of the total abuse of the sacrament of Baptism). The main character relates how she spent her life serving others but now it was time for her to take care of herself....
Self sacrifice has taken a toll on the main character but the end result has been her becoming a millionaire. Now all that wealth and all her spare time will go into self fulfilment. This is not the good news.
Rather Jesus says: No greater love is there than this, that a man lay down his life for another....
