if i wasn't so into his pro-black church,
pro marriage agenda, i probably wouldn't
dig it as much...but since i am, i'm
glad i went.

also, jill scott's acting was standout,
and the movie had some humorous moments.

as a movie, WDIGM was good, but not great,
but as a piece of art that affirms mainstream
black america's outlook, its dope.

now that i've seen a couple of dude's movies,
its obvious to me his success it mostly built
around his ability to make movies that reinforce
mainstream black folks ideals and aspirations
about themselves, as well as deal with issues
we care about in a funny, almost shmalzy way.

tyler perry will never be spielberg, but as long
as he keeps making art that emotionally connects
with his audience and the stuff that's on their
minds, he'll keep winning all day.
