Dove Review

Tyler Perry always seems to tell a story that many families can relate to in today’s society. This one deals with a single mom of three who is having a hard time making ends meet; she is about to lose her job, the electricity is shut off and she doesn’t have enough money for food. When life seems to be at its worst, a letter comes regarding the passing of her father whom she has never met. This leads for a change for her and the rest of the family as they get out of Chicago to a small town in Georgia.

Filled with some important messages and some lessons for life, this story can entertain and make you laugh. Unfortunately, the language takes this film outside of Dove’s standards for wholesome family entertainment.
