Re: What is the last movie you saw, and rating?
Have been avoiding watching it because I have a historic distaste, if not outright contempt, for the Tyler Perry projects I been unfortunately exposed to.
The rub is that I so do love Taraji P. Henson as an actor, so I couldn't stand hearing/seeing all the negative stuff that was floating around about this thing w/o vetting for myself.
Elated that I did.
While the 'woman scorned' archetype has been done --and poorly, at that-- to death, in this case it worked just fine.
Henson really channeled the devil that was evidently within her character (Melinda). She walked a fine line where the whole act could have derailed into slapstick. Instead she depicted one scary lady -- that did, admittedly, have me involuntarily chortling more than a few times.
It was in a sense a wasted performance, given the pedestrian nature of the rest of the moving parts in this thing.
Acrimony was visually pleasing, though, and the actor that played Young Melinda also did a solid job.
I was pleasantly surprised to give it an 8/10.
Would have been a 9 -- but the schlock ending was overcooked beyond any palate...

I guess I'd give it like 4.5 rotten tomatoes. Great humor, song and dance.
