I Can Do Bad All By Myself
November 8, 2010
A huge improvement over "Madea Goes to Jail".
The reason why I sincerely disliked "Madea Goes to Jail" was the fact that no one was really that interesting except for madea.It felt like she was barely in the movie at all so I couldn't say that it was good either as an ordinary movie or a Madea movie.In fact, I started to dislike Tyler Perry after "Madea Goes to Jail".I thought he was an ok director after seeing "Why Did I Get Married Too", but "Madea Goes to Jail" ruined my likes for him.Now I'm happy to report that "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" is a great improvement over "Madea Goes to Jail".I thought Madea was funnier this time around and I actually cared about the other characters.I thought Taraji P. Henson did a very good job at playing a woman named April who was put in charge over her niece and nephews while their grandmother is away.Madea doesn't get a lotm of screen time, but I still thought she was funny and let's all agree that there will be no other Madea like Tyler Perry.It's like casting someone else as "Rambo" besides Sylvester Stallone, the results would be awful because the actor who has played this character many times would have more experience than any other person.Besides having interesting people, the movie is also very well acted and directed.Since this is a Tyler Perry movie, know that there's a lot of drama in addition to the comedy.The movie was funny, but I cared more for the drama than the comedy.So is this Tyler Perry's best film? i personally perfer "Why Did I Get Married Too" over this but it's still a very well done movie.It's well acted, I liked the characters, and the drama and comedy was all very good.
Grade: B
