DWAYNE R @DRobCols 3 days ago I found the chemistry between the lead actors to be the glue that made this love story work. I appreciate that Tyler didn’t go for lowbrow points and chose to focus on redemption after making mistakes early in life. Though the story may be considered predictable by some, it works because so many people can relate to simply needing a second chance. Kudos to Tyler Perry Studios!

The plot, writing, and direction was cliched, predictable, and some parts unrealistic. The first moments the main actress was brutally sexually assaulted, then months later she unaffected by it--no therapy, no flashbacks, no hypervigilance, no residual fear, no mention of a journey toward healing. Instead, she bounces back and readily involves herself in a sexual and intimate relationship with the inmate who was present during the experience and also allows him to take care of her vulnerable baby while she works. So silly. The other problem is Tyler Perry habitually over layering his female leads with trauma. Lastly the overuse of the "N" word, which is now normalized by directors and comedians alike. It proliferates and reinforces self-hate in our communities and signals to the audience of all different hues, that this is how we see ourselves.

It was relatable even if you never been in prison but showed how people fight to get out of the situation they're currently in. That is what it is about. Moving forward and working hard to make your life better. It actually showed a good woman and man. We liked how the people actually looked like real people, not a lot of makeup and wigs. There has to be something that is trying to get in their way or a villain; that's what makes it a movie. If everything was easy, people would then say it was boring. I loved the ending, and I do have to admit that I assumed the ending would turn out how it did. you kind of saw it coming. The prison definitely looked scary and would make you never want to do anything to risk the chance of getting in. That movie for sure made it look terrible. Good job on that. I was rooting for them the entire time, and I'm glad the movies turned out the way it did. See more Shola W @RT22868580 Oct 13, 2026 An absolutely amazing heartfelt film !
