A movie about infidelity that's PG-13?

How compelling and real can this subject matter be with this rating? (setting aside Tyler "The one trick pony" Perry made it)

Why argue? People think Tyler Perry is a great filmmaker in the same way some people think Lil Wayne is a real rapper.

The poster is quite scandalous. I was surprised to see the PG-13 rating. I didn't even know it was Tyler Perry by looking at it. I thought it was some kind of erotic thriller. But it looks like it's a comedy.

The poster almsot looks like a Basic Instinct style thriller.

Yeah I agree Chase, but I have a feeling that this movie will be a little less intense than Basic Instinct lol

This is what Perry does, he tries to appeal to a large audience through the tame rating with a subject matter and marketing that implies it's for a specific age level.

He's a total uncle Tom fraud money licking shitwanker.

I never knew how much something so irrelevant as a movie rating can be used to critique a movie.

You never knew that a movie rating could be used to critique a movie? Damn, you're dumb. You're on the wrong site, boss.

I never critiqued the movie based on it's rating. All I said was I was surprised, based on the nude woman on the poster and the title.

Oh, the MPAA rating. Oops, I misunderstood.

Yeah, that's what he meant. I'm thinking perhaps he meant to reply to OP, and replied to my post on accident. Cus I certainly didn't make any kind of attack on the movie based on it's MPAA rating. I'm one of those people who thinks that a PG-13 rating doesn't always kill horror movies.

I'm the same way. Drag Me To Hell is a perfect example of that.

PG 13 kills a movie about Sex pure and simple. You tone down eroticism and it's phony attempt at it.

First off, He had For Colored Girls and that was rated R and people still went to see that. A lot of Oscar-Nominated/Winning films with serious subject matters are PG-13 rated, Forrest Gump, The Color Purple, Doubt, Beasts of the Southern Wild, The Blind Side etc.

I see your point, I really do, but Tyler Perry is advertising this like some steamy and sensual movie when its only PG-13 which means that he still wants to get some teens to see it as well

Tyler Perry doesn't give a damn. He creates films with a pg-13 rating in hopes that more people see his pitiful movies. He's is the most self-indulgent hack in Hollywood today.

Worse than Paul W.S. Anderson? I think they could be tied.

Interesting choice. Although, I did enjoy Event Horizon.

I was thinking more along the lines of the never ending Resident Evil franchise.

You mad? Does his movies affect your day-to-day activities? I don't even consider Tyler Perry apart of Hollywood. The man has clearly alienated himself from Hollywood's bull crap standards.

By making even more bullcrap, eh. Madea and Alex Cross were never great characters

by doing what the hell he wants with his movies for his fans, which you... clearly are not, nor 99.8% of the people on Rottentomatoes.

"99.8% of the people on Rottentomatoes". Where'd you get those statistics?
