Synopsis

A hard-living nightclub singer discovers the importance of family with the help of a handsome Mexican immigrant in this inspirational comedy drama from writer/director Tyler Perry. When pistol-packing granny Madea (Perry) awakens to the sound of her home being ransacked by wayward teen Jennifer (Hope Olaide Wilson) and her two younger brothers, she promptly marches the troubled kids over their aunt April's house. But despite being the only relative the kids can turn to, April (Taraji P. Henson) is hardly a role model; a self-destructive songbird with a serious drinking problem, she spends her nights at the club and relies on her married boyfriend, Raymond, to pay the bills. Suddenly, into April's life wanders Sandino (Adam Rodriguez), a hard-luck immigrant in search of some honest work. Before long, Sandino has moved into April's basement room, and formed a solid connection with the kids. The closer April and Sandino grow, the more April begins to recognize the importance of faith and family. When the time comes to say goodbye to her old ways and start a new life, the wounded chanteuse realizes that she may have finally found the true love that's always eluded her. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Posted by: from Jacksonville, Florida on 05/12/2012This was the type of movie that you just wouldn't want to miss even a split second. Entertaining from start to finish. One of those movies that you could watch time and time again.

Posted by: from New Castle, Delaware on 02/25/2010This was such a great movie! Tyler Perry never disapoints! This movie has a different story line, and is a fresh new movie. It is great. We rented it because we didnt know how good it was going to be, and we ended up loving it, and going to buy the movie right after we rented it! The only thing is we love Madea, and wish she was in the movie more!

Posted by: from Joliet, IL on 02/09/2010Very good Tyler Perry film. Not preachy but very uplifting with life lessons that entertain as well as teach but triumphant in the end. Great movie but adult enough not to be kidish; Certain parts not for children under 13, adult topics

Posted by: from Houston, TX on 01/07/2010I saw the movie when things in my life were really tough. The movie made me laugh, cry and laugh more. The church scenes were so good that I wanted to go find THAT church. The sense of community was awesome. The friend telling a friend the truth. The family was disconnected then reconnected, because family is what matters in the end. There are so many wonderful things to say that I'm getting emotional writing and thinking about the movie. Thank you, Mr. Tyler Perry for common sense entertainment.
