I actually had pretty low expectations for this movie going into it. I thought the first one was alright, but as everyone knows - sequels are often half as sufficing as the original movie. I was never a fan of Janet Jackson's acting, but I must say that in this movie she did a damn good job in her "angry black woman" role. There's a scene where the character playing Janet's (or Patricia's) husband, Terry,is waiting outside of his house, and his friends come to help him move, and they're like "You wanna go inside and get your things?" And Terry says, "Yea.", then he proceeds to throw a flower pot through his front door in order to get inside. So, his friends are like "Aw, damn...we didn't sign up for this." And they're all scared of what may happen, when suddenly this scraggly haired thing shows up behind them, and it's Janet! I swear, everyone in that movie theater jumped out of their seats.
However, I feel it is my duty, to warn everyone: The ending is crap. It seemed as if Tyler Perry had one hour left to make the movie, so he literally just said "Oh, crap! We gotta wrap this up...gotta fix it!" So, basically Janet sends her husband this birthday present (which is actually really random when I look back on it), and then he's so embarrassed and insulted by this present that he runs out of his workplace, gets in his car, speeds into oncoming traffic and gets hit by a truck. What starts this unrealistic, un-genuine ending, is the "I smell poop" face that Janet makes before she starts crying. I couldn't help but chuckle. But then, they're in the hospital...Janet's talking about how she didn't want this to happen - and she literally pushes the other to female characters in attempt to get them to resolve their issues and she says "Fix it! Fix it!" And just like that, all their problems (cheating, lying, deception) solved in a simple hug. And then 5 seconds later they're on a beach at Gavin's funeral sending off balloons that I guess represented Gavin's soul (I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy calming down from laughing at the previous scene). And then, the movie ends with Janet meeting the Rock.
However, although the ending takes away a lot from the movie, the movie still leaves with its integrity. It was hilarious, shocking, sometimes both, and it kept you watching. I recommend you go see it(just leave before the last 3 minutes of the movie).
