Tyler Perry’s script and story manages to be entertaining but the content in the sex and drug categories unfortunately put it over the top and outside of Dove’s acceptability level for family viewing.

The film opens with a marriage counselor named Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) talking to a woman that has been having an affair. Judith begins to tell a story about her sister that once went down that destructive path, but we soon learn it is not actually her sister she is talking about.

In a flashback we see a younger Judith and her husband Brice (Lance Gross) and learn they met when she was just six years old and now they have been married for six years. He works as a pharmacist and she wants to be a marriage counselor, although she currently works for a business which matches up men with women, a dating service ran by a woman named Janice (Vanessa Williams). She winds up working with a dashing young rich man named Harley (Robbie Jones). He likes her immediately and begins a steady effort to seduce Judith. Brice is good to Judith but tends to overlook some things, including her birthday. When Judith eventually gives in to Harley’s seduction, her world soon comes crashing down, especially when her new lifestyle includes drinking, snorting cocaine, and leaving a teary eyed Brice behind. All the actors are on in this film, and Lance Gross is terrific as the heart-broken true-blue husband.

The movie makes a point that a faith in Jesus helps and that there will always be reaping for one’s sins. It is good to hear the woman Judith is counseling in the beginning of the film say at the end of the movie she is stopping her affair. Still, with the affair of a married woman and the drug sniffing, we cannot award this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
