This the first movie that made me tear up and almost cried. It was different from the play but this was by far his best movie since "Why did I get married?". Taraji Henson does what she does best "ACT".Madea and... Full review

I just saw this movie today and I have to tell you that I loved it. The storyline, while similar to other productions of Mr. Perry has a completely different perspective. This movie is about faith, love, family and friendship with... Full review

So, I rated this movie a 1, which is awful. Actually it was beyond awful. It was more like a horribly sickening attempt of portraying something so real to others yet being so fake! Anyways, it was a push for me... Full review

As entertaining as the latest Madea comedy is, writer & director Tyler Perry's seventh movie "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" (*** out of ****) doesn't generate half as much humor and heartache as earlier Madea entries. No, "I Can... Full review

Tyler Perry, what people have against this guy, I don't know. I just started watching his movies last year and found myself oddly enjoying them. Yeah, it's weird that Perry is constantly dressing in drag for Madea, which I'm starting to... Full review

I Can Do Bad" is feel-good story....he buys himself and his regrettably literal storytelling skills plenty of dramatic time.....But when Perry shrewdly casts good actors like Henson --.... ... Full Review

Alternately stupefying and entertaining, the film does benefit from a strong cast.....Part musical, part love story, part family melodrama, part inspirational treacle, Tyler Perry's latest movie, I Can Do Bad All by Myself , is something of an unholy mess.....Perry has been attracting better actors in his recent movies....it's fun to see the excellent Taraji P. Henson, as well as Gladys Knight and Mary J. Blige, plus Perry in his Madea persona..... ... Full Review

Tyler Perry's "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" Is Successful....however "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" might be his best movie yet.....Perry who wrote, directed and produced the movie gave an impressive storyline and great actors.....Henson gives an outstanding performance that makes the audience expect a transformation in her character..... ...

I Can Do Bad All By Myself - Tyler Perry's Latest Masterpiece....Madea is evenly funny, hilarious, in fact, throughout the film....Half laugh riot, half church service (in only the best way possible) "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" will have you laughing, reflecting, cheering and possibly shedding a tear;.... ...

Good story, great performances, and great music abound.....as far as I'm concerned it's the movie's only real weakness.....While it's certainly not Perry's best effort as a director, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" is a decent enough movie anyway.....both songs and performances are amazing, especially the title song she sings in the night club.....Hope Olaide Wilson is outstanding as Jennifer..... ...
