More than anything, though, I find his characterizations more deeply rooted in Southern culture and religion, a point on which my very Southern and very religious aunt, a Tyler Perry fan, agrees.\u00a0 In essence, his characters and storylines have been relatable and entertaining to everyone; that is until I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, at least the title of this film is appropriate because Tyler Perry has done bad, real bad, all by himself with I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF. And I don&#8217;t mean bad in a good way. I like Tyler Perry. I generally like his characters. I like the moral messages he ultimately sends with his films.\u00a0 But I do NOT like this film. And this film definitely does not achieve the multi-ethnic demographic crossover for which he is so famous.\u00a0 If anything, Perry takes ten steps backward both with his message and characters and the quality of the film as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen year old Jennifer and her two younger brothers, Manny and Byron, haven\u2019t had the easiest of lives.\u00a0 With the passing of their mother some years back, the children were left in the care of their grandmother.\u00a0 But, due\u00a0 to her advanced age and her need to work to support the children, much of the child care of Manny and Bryon fell to Jennifer and one of the biggest concerns being Manny, an insulin dependent diabetic.\u00a0 But what does a 16 year girl do when her grandmother doesn\u2019t come home from work and she\u2019s out of insulin to give her little brother?\u00a0 In Jennifer\u2019s case, you break into the house of non-other than that pistol-packing jailbird grandma named Madea, and get caught while trying to steal a 20 year old VCR.<\/p>\n<p>Irascible to a fault, Madea may talk a good game but at heart, she\u2019s just that &#8211; all heart.\u00a0 Rather than turn the kids over to the police and given the inability to locate grandma, Madea turns the kids over to their Aunt April with the proviso that they will work off their debt and thievery by cleaning Madea\u2019s house and learning some responsibility.\u00a0 Little does Madea know just how much responsibility Jennifer already carries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7794\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141302-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"2009-09-09_141302\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141302-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141302-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141302.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But Aunt April is anything but the world\u2019s greatest aunt.\u00a0 Hating kids, not wanting kids, deeming kids nothing but a pain, she makes it clear that these aren\u2019t going to ruin her life and they will be gone as soon as grandma is found.\u00a0 And what of April\u2019s life?\u00a0 Heavy-drinking (oh let\u2019s just say it &#8211; drunk) nightclub singer, she steals from the club she works at, kicks homeless people down on their luck in the face, sleeps all day, smokes like a chimney,\u00a0 lives in a house left to her by her father that she has run into disrepair, and has her married boyfriend Randy shacking up with her and paying her bills while he has a wife and kids and another one on the way that he also \u201cputs up with.\u201d\u00a0 (And according to Randy, he ain\u2019t taking nuthin\u2019 from no woman.)\u00a0 Ah yes, Aunt April is a fine example of a human being.\u00a0 Selfish to a tee, she cares nothing about Manny\u2019s medical condition which still leaves Jennifer to fend for him.<\/p>\n<p>As luck would have it though, as Jennifer is caught stealing yet again, this time from the pharmacy and as she tries to escape capture, runs into none other than the Pastor Brian at the local Zion Baptist Church.\u00a0 Seeing a child in need and living with \u201cAunt April\u201d (whose reputation precedes her), Pastor Brian sees a chance for redemption and hope &#8211; a young immigrant named Sandino who benefitted from the church\u2019s missionary work in his country some years back.\u00a0 And of course, on coming to America with no papers, job or money, heading for the benevolence of the church was the only right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Placing Sandino in April\u2019s house to do repairs in exchange for room and board, Sandino soon finds himself falling in love with the children and April, although April shuns every kindness shown to her, opting instead to keep her money tree going with Randy.\u00a0\u00a0 But what happens when the Pastor learns that Grandma has passed away?\u00a0 Will Jennifer, Manny and Byron stay with April or be placed into foster care?\u00a0 What will become of Sandino?\u00a0 And most importantly, what will happen to the wayward April?<\/p>\n<p>The most spectacular part of the film, and yes, I say spectacular, is Hope Olaide Wilson.\u00a0 As Jennifer, she is phenomenal! Her emotional range is incredible. And when she smiles, she lights up the entire film.\u00a0 She has an inner strength and vulnerability that simply shines on screen. She is the singular reason to see this film.\u00a0\u00a0 Another darling is Kwesi Boayke who, as Manny, steals every scene, including those he shares with Tyler Perry\u2019s Madea.\u00a0 Despite little dialogue, he conveys emotion through his facial expression that speaks volumes and elicits laughs and love.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy and like Adam Rodriguez. As Sandino, he brings some genuine emotion to the story and gives it a backbone and sense of hope and pride that the other adult characters lack.\u00a0 I am, however, disappointed that his character and his relationship with the children and April wasn&#8217;t developed more. He is the more interesting part of the entire story.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7795\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141319-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"2009-09-09_141319\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141319-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141319-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141319.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, is Taraji P. Henson. As an actress I like her; in fact, I loved her story arc in &#8220;Boston Legal&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, here, while her acting as April is fine, the character itself is stereotypical ghetto or poor African-American &#8211; drunk chain smoking woman, living for a man that lies, cheats and beats her &#8211; a fault which lies with Tyler Perry himself.\u00a0 This characterizations is not going to appeal to the crossover demographic or in many cases, Perry\u2019s predominantly African-American demographic and may, in fact, have many wagging the fingers and tongues about stereotypical worthlessness.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is not any kind of message to be sending to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Big kudos go to Mary J. Blige.\u00a0 As April\u2019s best friend Tanya, she perfectly conveys that bartender-best friend vibe and was believable without going ghetto.\u00a0 As Tanya, she is the kind of friend everyone needs.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not to be missed are some incredible vocals by Gladys Knight who plays the god-fearing Wilma as well as Blige\u2019s performance of the film\u2019s theme which she co-wrote with Chuck Harman and Ne-Yo.<\/p>\n<p>But one of the most disappointing parts of the film is Madea.\u00a0\u00a0 More or less a throw-away character, there really is no need for her in the story.\u00a0 The kids could have just as easily started out breaking into the pharmacy or anywhere else in order to set them up.\u00a0\u00a0 Madea is such a strong, fun character that once Perry puts her into a story, he needs to keep her there and work her into the plotline more from a grandmotherly sense. Here, the kids lost their grandmother and while Madea is no great shakes, she does provide a strength, discipline and guidance that would have worked well. As the film now stands, you could almost lift her character out completely. And that&#8217;s a shame, because Perry is too funny as Madea.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7796\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141335-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"2009-09-09_141335\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141335-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141335-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141335.jpg 602w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Perry, overall, the story is too short on redemption and actually &#8220;glorifies\u201d\u00a0 the life April leads, making it look attractive to young girls in terms of the nightclubbing, performing on stage and men wanting them.\u00a0 Perry could have just as easily written April as a nasty unfeeling daughter and aunt, maybe with a string of bad boyfriends in order to work in Sandino&#8217;s character.\u00a0\u00a0 The story doesn\u2019t need her kinda- sorta shacking up with a married guy, presented in an almost celebratory manner from April\u2019s perspective.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Also disturbing to the context is an off-handed\u00a0 sexual abuse aspect seemingly tossed in as just a by-product- after-thought that is not only\u00a0 tacky, but disrespectful to the audience as a whole and to victims of sexual abuse.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While I do like the hopeful\u00a0 moralistic aspect of the film, there is nothing to really show any passage of time with any\u00a0 &#8220;Come to Jesus&#8221; moments of each character.\u00a0\u00a0 Nothing sets the stage for the development of any real relationships of sincerity, truth and love,\u00a0 which leads to too flippant an ending for such a serious part of the film\u2019s message.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7797\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141353-400x263.jpg\" alt=\"2009-09-09_141353\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141353-400x263.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141353-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2009-09-09_141353.jpg 602w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From a technical and directorial standpoint, I am anything but impressed; so much so that during the screening, I wanted to rip film out of the projector.\u00a0\u00a0 BAD, BAD, BAD edits in at least four places that are so bad that several scenes are cut-off\u00a0 mid-scene, mid-sentence.\u00a0 I can only hope these deficiencies are in the print I screened and not what is being distributed to the theatres.\u00a0 I As for the &#8220;lip sync&#8221; and looping of the music, this is some of the worst I have ever seen in a film &#8211; particularly with Gladys Knight.\u00a0\u00a0 Words are still being sung\u00a0 while the mouths are closed. The all-out belting of Mary J. Blige has bodily movements synced to the song, but in places her mouth isn\u2019t synced.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Very noticeable flaws and more than disturbing.\u00a0\u00a0 There are also an excessive amount of \u201cdrop-in shots\u201d,\u00a0 particularly when it comes to Gladys Knight.\u00a0 There is no rhyme or reason to them and they do nothing to enhance the film or the story.\u00a0\u00a0 And laugh if you will, but for me, one of the worst visuals in the film is the make-up on Mary J. Blige&#8217;s arm in the final block party scene.\u00a0 A BAAAADDDDD job at trying to cover up her right arm tattoo with the makeup color being lighter than her skin tone, standing out like the filling in an Oreo cookie.<\/p>\n<p>Key to every Tyler Perry film is music, particularly gospel music.\u00a0 Here, he has a very eclectic selection including \u201cRock Steady\u201d written by Aretha Franklin and voiced by Cheryl Pepsii Riley, \u201cNeed to Be\u201d written by Jim Weatherly and performed by Knight and of course, Blige\u2019s rousing performances of \u201cI Can Do Bad\u201d and \u201cGood Woman Down:.\u201d\u00a0 Wonderful pieces all, but add to these about 3 or 4 other strong gospel songs and the Baptist choir and the music becomes overkill.\u00a0\u00a0 Insufficiently interwoven with the story to have a sense of belonging of unity with the script, some of the songs feel like outsiders again with a feeling of being &#8220;dropped-in\u201d as a mechanism to grab some other demographics.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointing overall, I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF falls short in comparison to some of Perry\u2019s other films and the level of excellence both technically and from a storytelling standpoint.\u00a0\u00a0 Sorry Tyler, but I have to say it, you did bad all by yourself with this one.<\/p>\n<p>April &#8211; Taraji P.
