    Had I not seen the tag on here, I would have had no clue it was a Tyler Perry film until the title card. According to this article, it was the first screenplay he ever wrote. It'll be interesting...

    Had I not seen the tag on here, I would have had no clue it was a Tyler Perry film until the title card.

    According to this article, it was the first screenplay he ever wrote.

    "[...] I was trying to get my first play off the ground, and this screenplay just poured out of me," he recalls. "I held onto it for all of these years."

    It'll be interesting to see him try something slightly new. While it isn't too far from his usual movies (i.e., it's still a melodrama), it seems that he's trying something more polished that seems like award bait. I'm all for directors (especially ones that have been typecast) trying new things. Sometimes it results in their best work. At least he's trying something new.

    Some of his more recent films have looked very bad (visually, not quality-wise) and seemed like they were shot in a matter of days for as little money as possible.
