Possible spoilers: Like everyone else, I would have liked to have seen more Madea, too.
What I liked about the film: Madea, of course - the Dr. Phil scenes were pretty funny.
Keshia Knight Pulliam - she's come a long way from little Rudy! Overall, I enjoyed the warmth of the film. I know the plot wasn't necessarily realistic (ADA suddenly realizes he's in love with friend who is a very newly reformed prostitute; everyone finds God; etc.) but personally I like a happy ending. Honestly, how realistic is any romantic comedy being put out these days, anyway? How much realism do we get in the movies? Don't we have enough realism in our day to day lives???
What I disliked: - Why is the wealthy, gorgeous girl also a heartless and evil stereotype? I wasn't sure where Perry was going with this.
Overall, I did like this movie, but I think it could have been better. I'll always love Madea!

- The only white people in the film were also shrill/evil stereotypes (the lecherous potential boss, the nasty housewife/shopper). If you want to make a film focused on one group, race, area, etc., fine, there's nothing wrong with that. But why were the only two white characters so bad? (There was also Dr. Phil, of course; he's just annoying, but that's my opinion.) - Perry tends to overreach a bit in his plots. This is a pattern with all his films, and it takes away from the overall movie because there's too much to follow (this was particularly true with "Madea's Family Reunion." After a while I lost track because there was so much going on!).
Overall, I did like this movie, but I think it could have been better. I'll always love Madea!
