Well… since I’m still in isolation,
looks like I’ll have to subside my hunger with VOD and streaming. Not entirely
sure why I decided to go with this release in particular, but now that I
have a better idea in my head about who Tyler Perry even is as a creative, I
feel like I can approach this with more certainty than I did A Madea Family Funeral. See, when Tyler actively sets out to make a comedy, his weak-ass sense
of character and comedic timing makes the more overwrought, melodramatic
aspects shine through more so than the supposed selling point. But when he
tries to make a thriller, you start to wonder why he ever had trouble making
people laugh.
