Divorce in the Black Movie Review | SPOILERS & RANT 

The name of this movie should have been the bum and the banker😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If "Same Script, different cast" was a person it would be Tyler Perry

It's not possible to spoil a Tyler Perry movie because they're all the same.😂

I was tripping on the fact that Ava and Dallas lived an hour and a half away from her mom and dad but Dallas was skeet skirting around like he was going up the street. 😂😂😂

The fact that he acts as if he is not hearing the constructive criticism is beyond me at this point.🤦🏾‍♀️

The issue is that TP writes his movies as if it's still a stage play on the south side of Chicago.😮😮😮

I was done when Megan was dragging dallas unconscious body by herself 😂😂 mam ain’t no way

Let me tell you where Tyler gets his scripts and inspiration from…directly from the pits of hell. Plain and simple.

Tyler cannot fathom a woman being happy without spousal abuse first 😵‍💫. I’m convinced he writes what he saw his mother go through. Dallas’s mother blames Ava for the negative remarks made about her son by her father at the funeral. She didn’t want and couldn’t afford a church service, but was talked into it being “proper” by Dallas and Ava. All-in-all Tyler owes me money for pain and suffering watching his Tubi movies 😂

"They put buddy on the back of the truck and just left." I was weak when you said that. It sounds so stupid. 😂😂😂

It’s best to stay single in Tyler Perry universe

There's no such thing as a perfect marriage or relationship; each one is special. What makes one person happy might not make another person happy. But I've realized that there's always a way to solve problems. Five years ago, my wife and I were almost getting divorced because we had problems in our marriage, but we managed to sort things out. It was a difficult time, but we got through it...

The lack of backstory and character development was so annoying to me…I kept looking at Dallas like wft are you mad about bruh??? Literally every time he showed up I rolled my eyes like here he go 🙄😂

"They put the body in the back of the truck and drove off"🤣😂😅

As I watched this movie, I realized he should have done it in the reverse. Focus on the family and the bad brothers. Let Ava meet him while he’s doing bad things … show how she loved him through that stuff then it didn’t work out but at least explains his behavior and mistreatment. Maybe add the funeral scene at the end to show the brothers final outcome after all the wrong doing throughout the movie. The movie could have been good there were many plots but he just can’t be realistic i have no idea why it’s kinda scary. It really does raise a serious question - where does he get his ideas. Like does he not know any real people? This stuff so far fetched it’s like not even real life anymore

You explained this very well. I lost interest in his movies YEARS ago when I realized it was the same plot over and over. 🙄

He has production continuity issues and Simple flaws that should not have been missed. Ex: the lady saying those clothes were hand me downs from the first lady who was clearly 4 sizes smaller. If he wanted that line to make sense.. He could have thrown in 2 lines from Megan or the husband saying how proud they are of the first lady since she lost weight.. That would have solved that issue. It's the small things like that, that pisses everybody off

I didn't like the fact that they couldn't say pussy but was dropping the N word like crazy

Dallas' mom was blaming Ava for her dad talking badly about her son and saying the family is trash, poorly raised sons

When he showed up to the job and to the grocery store, I’m just thinking don’t none of these businesses have security officers

It was the same damn family dynamics as Mea Culpa... sons with a controlling mother, hate the wife for no known reason beside being "better than them" the wife always the breadwinner with some cut and paste job...banker lawyer doctor indian chief. Im so sick of Tyler and his shenanigans 😂. He needs to go to therapy and if hes been, go back, cuz aint no way he can keep thinking this is good work. I feel he is arrogant and take his viewers for granted that he can chatgpt these scripts! The funeral scene was diabolical 😭

The reason why he's a billionaire is because he cuts corners and screws over the little people like they all do! He would have significantly less money if he didn't write, direct, and even act in most of his own projects. He is notorious for not having good amenities for actors on set like hair and makeup. He is cheap! He uses up most of the budget to pay for Black famous talent, who will in turn keep coming to him for work regardless of the quality of the script and never speak ill of him. He has Black Hollywood sewn up and I have to respect his long game.

Don't sleep on TUBI...BeBay TUBI has gr8 movies. The Joan Crawford' s, Betty Davis' and movies with bars and very well written scripts. Even Vivica Fox has good movies on TUBI 🤪🤸🏾

I’m beginning to believe that the “paying actors what they’re worth” is a bribe. I KNOW they know these scripts are trash.

The mom wanted to bury the brother in the yard like they did, without a funeral. Ava got her parents to pay for casket and everything to have the funeral. So she kind of feels like she set them up to be embarrassed since Ava's father was doing the sermon. That's why she didn't want to take the casket or anything else they gave her.

I agree 100% but I've always hated films that depict Blacks as a joke , lazy, loud, drug deal8ng Fighting angry less than. All his damn movies make me SICK. You'll never see Denzel or Samuel Jackson in any of his crap. I love his (Tyler) success story but damn man make some movies about our historic contribution to this country

As long as he is the writer, this is what you get from him. 😒

Yeah, I was trying to figure out myself why was Dallas so angry. Nothing led up to him having so much disdain for his wife.

Most writers do REWRITES of their screenplays to make sure the story makes sense. Tyler is not that guy. Tyler ain’t rewriting a damn thing. He doesn’t give a f*ck about his audience’s intelligence. I heard that he leaves a lot of the dialogue up to the actors. That’s why the conversations be flat and repetitive. Actors act and writers write. These people don’t know what to say. Actors need structure. Tyler forcing these people to improvise. (I would love to see an ACTUAL TP script. What does his stories look like on paper?)

Tyler Perry could run Hollywood if he let some black writers in. Imagine he worked with the Wayne brothers, Jordon peele, he could be so much more great.

I told my son that this movie wasn’t worth me recording and editing for a review

Dallas’ mom doesn’t blame Ava for the brother being killed. She blames her for talking her into using her father’s church for the funeral. As the mom she should have declined because the older woman attended that church. Why did she think people would be happy to see them?

I have never known men like Tyler Perry write them. They are the worst or the best. It’s such extremes.

They say “people watch is films to see how bad it gets ,compared to the other one .”

Unpopular opinion: I enjoyed the movie this time lol. Yes the plot was predictable, but it is one of those stay at home, don’t wanna think about anything else movie lol.. but yeah the way Dallas was disrespecting his best friends wife and he doing nothing was weird and the dad going to Dallas family trailer knowing he was gonna be outnumbered didn’t make sense to me. lol. It was way better than Mea Culpa or whatever that trash was called. And the plot might be the same but the acting was actually good lol 😂

I Don't care want anyone says Cory played the Hell out of that roll I hope he gets some type of award period

Nothing that Ava did was her fault Watching the wedding video that would’ve been it for me

Not “Tubi” 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I heard that and I spit out my coffee 😂😂😂😂. But you’re right!

There were too many things in this movie that didn't make sense for me to type it all, but overall, I think too many of you jump on the Bash the Black Man Bandwagon and refuse to give Tyler Perry his props when he does a little better. This movie was vastly better than the crap he has put out the past seven years. That is a _very low_ bar, but he cleared it! 🤣😂😅😆 Anyhoo, the acting was pretty good (Meagan Good, Richard Lawson & Debbie Morgan). *Here is something I HATED!!!!!!* They went out of their way to say over and over again that *their Atlanta home was 90 minutes away from her parents' home,* yet *_Every Single Time_* someone traveled to the other place, they would magically get there in 10 minutes. 🙄🤬 Seriously. I appreciate Tyler's studios and all he does to create opportunities for Black actors, costume and set designers, producers, etc. But what he desperately needs is to stop writing and directing everything, and instead, give people _Who Can Actually Write and/or Direct_ a chance to do so. It would still be his name in the title, but the quality would be better. OH, and he needs an editor. Badly.

There was no depth or redeeming qualities to Dallas' character which was disappointing. I kept expecting the movie to delve a bit more into the history of his father. Or at least see his internal battle with his anger issues...

I am glad for Cory Hardrict sake! Glad to see him rise above his current circumstances and get a big payday out of it. Other than that I fail to see any decency in the movie.

The Best Part of the Movie. Ava said to Dallas. “Since, you woke up the Bitch in Me.” That’s IT. That’s ALL!!!

I did not like the movie OMG!!!🤦‍♀️

"I wanna sleep with you, in your room, in your bed" -- That line made me fly back in my chair, 'cause I loved it -- Ava later realizes she was married to the wrong man, all along. -- And, we discover she has a great support team -- Yes, this movie is similar to 'Diary of A Mad Black Woman' (that may have been intentional, because Tyler believes black women deserve genuine romance). -- There are many black women in the US without a man, but after watching this film, and then discover its main message is "Black women are worthy of romance, too, despite the odds" makes this a must-see movie. -- I enjoyed the suspenseful moments -- Meagan Goode is listed as one of the film's producers, very good to know, and she looks so beautiful. Ledisi wrote the song "I Will Survive" it fits perfectly with the movie's main point.

Tyler Perry: I write all my movies. Me: Yes, girl, and it shows.

The script... the SCRIPT! 🤧🤧

Great review!!! I def agreed with you My biggest dislike for the movie is there is no explanation on why Dallas has all this anger towards his own wife who he then stalks later smh lol Hell why would she marry a man like Dallas in the first place? I would have liked to see flashbacks of a happier time to see how she even fell in love with Dallas. His character is displayed so one dimensional. Tyler just wanted the viewer to hate him. Most villains have a backstory that is expressed in the movie. He just skipped that damn part 🤣 Also the so called best friend didn’t even seem to like him. We never saw them enjoying a laugh together or hanging out…. Just awkward interactions Weird ass movie lol

It wasn’t a bad movie. It just needed more back story and character development. We have no idea why Dallas is the way he is. The story could have been told better. The character Dallas is definitely a realistic character no matter how crazy he acts though. I’ve dated a Dallas before so they do exist. Unfortunately.

Ava had a good solid foundation and support system. Dallas did not have that, and died without ever getting the help he really needed. That was sad to me. And Ava’s help was not enough. And Dallas struggled these two worlds. He needed some good spiritual counseling. Cut toxic family loose, cling to his wife who loved him and he could have been the one to help his family. All did great performances!

Was anybody else tripping at the fact that Dallas and ole dude were best friends?!? Where?! It’s not giving that at ALL! And you don’t even get along with his wife🤷🏽‍♀️ They should not have made them best friends and the movie would have made a little more sense there🤦🏽‍♀️

Sadly I don’t trust many black writers also you see Tubi movies smh

The key is for people to stop comsuming it. Then he will listen

New subscriber. He is using the same language from previous films. "I don't want your hand me downs" is a line in Madea's Family Reunion too. He is just repackaging previous work and just adding a new title. "Divorce in the Black" is a waste of a good title for this movie. I agree that the plays are actually way better than the films. Great job.

I stopped watching TP a while ago. He is writing and producing and directing and burning out. I really wanted to get into Sisters but so much dead space and nothingness as far as plot. And the abuse on The Oval was too much. I love Madea but the rest, nah.....................

Why is the Black woman always in a negative; the Black woman can't speak up she just stands there and puts up with this! Tyler Perry hate Black women that's what I see, it's like dump on the women from Mea Culpa to this! It's Ridiculous!!!! He's going to continue with this he's always going to continue with this! He's laughing all the way to the bank.

I think some people miss the point of Dallas having a crazy family and upbringing. That situation leads to mental problems in children. That’s why Dallas was so over the top. My husband grew up in craziness, as an adult he has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and he acts just like Dallas did. His performance was spot on.

Didn't like it but i really can't fault Tyler Perry. He's basically the only huge black studio. There are so many white owned studios and I've seen numerous terrible all white movies but their silliness is never amplified cos they're lost amongst so many good ones. That's his niche and it's obvious that millions love what he does.

Look, TP has basically said, fck your feelings, I’m always right, No one can tell me to stop stereotyping my people. So I guess it’s for us to decide, I just don’t watch any more of his films.

I did say I was tired of the negative image. I have a great husband!

Never understood why Dallas was crazy. She married him. The should have said every since his brother died he's different. Something.

What I didn't like about this movie is the pastor's daughter dressing inappropriately in the church and in their presence. That makes some women think it's ok to come to church dressed like that.

I liked the movie. Meagan was great

Stellar cast. Phenomenal acting. Every actor truly seemed as though they weren't acting...remarkable. It's as though the characters were written for each actor. Thrilling plot. I'm not a TP fan, but he nailed it on this one. I was cheering at the end like this wasn't a movie! Bravo.

And BTW, in case y'all did not know he does use the "Master's Script" which is a log sheet of scenarios and different stereotypes built around the black urban community. This data was collected and compiled from the sales and audience response from all of his plays and movies. He can now generate AI created scripts and movies based off of the database they created without the assistance of any outsourcing from a writers guild or union. The disconnect you feel when watching this new material is because it was AI generated!!! All of the movie creators are using this method now.

It was definitely a knockoff ENOUGH

No the mother blames Ava for suggesting that they have the funeral at the church instead of in their backyard

They opening scene was traumatizing

I don’t think the clothes were the mom’s actual clothes. She likely bought them for her to wear and she was giving them back.

They didn't do a good job of explaining, but the main reason for Dallas' anger seemed to come from his brothers pushing him and putting stories in his head. There's a scene where he's sitting in his truck talking to eldest brother on the phone where he's agreeing with big brother telling him Ava has been cheating, sending him a picture of her talking to a guy as proof, and confirming that he's definitely filed the divorce papers. Dallas is a troubled and insecure man who was given zero dimensionality in this film.

the preacher was definitely wrong for talking about that man like that

Lmaooo at the dropped plot point of Dallas killing his father 😂

My first impression, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" only difference the husband gets killed.

Jemmario Jemmario From "Comic View" 1999. Should Have Played Lead. Lunell Should Have Played The Megan Goode Role.

no you ain't trippin! You spoke the truth! Every word. And the sad thing is that his crap always goes #1 the week of release. Tyler Perry knows the market he caters to: Church-going black women who are long-suffering and think black men aint shit. I cannot count the number of conversations my church-going mom has had with her sisters and other church-going women complaining about men, and how black men aint no good, and I always had to remind my mom that I am in the room, and she'd always preface her words with "except you, son." The comment you made about the woman taking off her clothes in the church- I thought the same thing while watching the movie. I thought 'she's a completely different size than Debbie Morgan. How Debbie's clothes gonna fit her?" But when she demanded her sons take her dead son out of the coffin 5 minutes into the movie I know it was going to be some over-the-top mess. A few other items- when Meagan Good's husband was going up the staircase, why didn't she yell or somehow let the man in her bed know her husband was coming upstairs? And how could lil Meagan Good drag her husband's body with ease? I understand gravity helping her get him down the staircase- that park was believable, but the rest of the dragging? No! NO security in the bank? Like you said about the best friend talking about his wife- I'm sorry, aint no man going to disrespect my wife a second time. The first time-he will be corrected and I'd make sure there will not be a second time, periodt! Great post.

Also… When Dallas killed the animals… it was about two animals dead on the farm (I’m exaggerating) but it didn’t look realistic.

🗣️🗣️🗣️ THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It was so predictable. Every time a scene would about to occur I knew exactly what was going to happen… SICCUD!!!!!

Lmao I did not even think about the size differences between the mothers. And that entire town was empty. The parking lots, the bake sales, etc.

The opening scene was wild. Has to be the worst written scene in film history 😂😂😂 The only thing that I would add to your review was how Dallas and his brothers followed everything the momma said and did not think for themselves at their big ages 🤦🏾‍♀️

Dude thank you bruh. Even in this movie,he cldnt go the whole movie w/o sprinkling somebody cheating in there which has no impact on the plot whatsoever so u can tell atp it’s just a fetish for him.

Yeah the best friend’s husband really got on my nerves! 😒

This movie definitely had some outrageous scenes. I would say the fact that Ava was able to go to her parents for support to get through her divorce and be reminded of not letting her joy die was wonderful. She had a great support team throughout the film. What were your thoughts on the movie “Mea Cupla”?

Finally someone said it!!!!! Those clothes Dallas mama was wearing didn’t fit at all, when she was sitting down the dress was super tight and then the mama says I don’t need your hand me downs. Ava mama was definitely being mess she knew them clothes didn’t fit her.

Thanks for the summary because after Mea Culpa I’m done and definitely wasn’t watching based on the previews… just wanted an overview and not surprised, glad I didn’t waste my time 😂

So he paid the the lead actors fairly, but I bet he didn’t pay the rest of the cast and crew.

This movie was absolute garbage. Ridiculous, the continuity was so terrible, the characters were absolutely unbelievably terrible. We have to stop letting Tyler Perry get away with this, and it’s only Black people who let him get away with this

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Some people are NEVER satisfied but you're entitled to your opinions!🤷

This is the perfect review. I watched it and enjoyed the "acting." Not the storyline. Fire cast just for foolishness. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I don't know why Hollywood give us the same movies over and over black people self-hate each other that's sad

Bro I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 I watched this film it pissed me off why he always make us look bad bless up great channel just came across it

I didn't see the movie. I refuse to. But this commentary was engaging and these comments are hilarious!

Tyler Perry movies are garage. The last one I watched is, A Family that Preys Together. The others redundant.

I loved this movie! I definitely do agree that he does need some help and new storylines, I guess Tyler knows we're going to watch them and talk about his movies good or bad. Pastor was surely wrong for that, if he didn't want to do and pay for the service he should've declined. That beginning was a mouth dropper for sure. Great review!

Dallas and that damn pointing was hilarious. Ike jr. Jr. Lol

Why: Because he is rich and the people in power want this image out about black relationships, black men, and black women.

Listen I am a new subscriber you have me cracking up the whole entire time especially when you were talking about her throwing the clothes at the mom doing good doggone well they weren’t the same size!

Cory was the best actor in the movie benji was the corniess actor ever sorry 😂

hopefully Tyler will check the comments...on a good note, i am going to say that the best of his films to me, have been, I can do bad all by myself and The family that Preys...those 2 have been the best to me by far...Good deeds gets and honorable mention.

0:14 time stamp. I'm only 14 seconds in and I agree with you. The other thing? I went to college in Atlanta. Live in Atlanta. Love Atlanta. Even though Im not from there. But I am so GXx XXXX tired of every one of his movies being centered around Atlanta. He has REALLY WATERED DOWN the vibe of the city by doing that. Especially because he mostly shows ignorant behavior going on. That's poor representation.

This wasn't as bad as Tyler's usual mess. Atleast this time there was no bad hairpiece or wig in sight. If anything it looked like a ghetto Lifetime movie. Yes usual Tyler tropes (Church scene, Light skinned savior, random male strippers, crazy religious old black woman, etc) but maybe Amazon told him to tone that stuff down.

In the country ,they bury dogs in the back yard
