Tyler Perry’s Acrimony

I don’t know how Tyler Perry gets away with this. It seems to me that in this day an age any women watching this would raise an eyebrow at the things going on, but it did make money so maybe I’m wrong.

It is a good movie on perceptive. Tyler Perry seems to do a good job of telling a story about a messed up situation that is life and how it can screw you over sometimes without it necessarily being anyone’s fault (Or rather the movie seems to be able to point out what everyone did wrong). Acrimony is just a “is what it is” situation. Taraji P. Henson’s performance in this was solid, and that helps to swallow all the melodrama going on.

Henson plays Melinda, a faithful wife who gets screwed over in more ways than one because her husband betrays her. It seems like your basic soap opera-like story but I have to admit, Perry’s fairness with all the characters evolved make for some interesting plot twist that you see coming, but are so against the norm of what you are expecting, especially when it comes to the male characters.

Overall, I found it worth taking a peak out just once to experience it. I like slightly better than most of his dramas.

I found it very thought-provoking
