The content that Tyler Perry bases his movies on touches people at the very heart of life's issues - both good and bad. His heart for the people causes you to fall in love with his work both on stage and on film. This movie to me was the best combination of the stage play and an adaptation for film. You could actually believe in the characters and what they are facing. Hollywood may not ever recognize him for his talent or his work but we the people speak loudly for him. At the end of the day, if you can produce something that can speak to where someone is in life - facing tragedy and triumph, you've served a greater purpose and neither the Academy or Hollywood can trump that with any award or accolade.
