Preview: I Can Do Bad All By Myself (2009)

Synopsis:

Tyler Perry's latest film featuring Madea involves her catching two a girl and her two younger brothers breaking into her home and sends them to live with their Aunt April who doesn't really want to have anything to do with them.

• Poster: B

Review:

I would like to say this is a great poster, but the concept has been done before, though this is certainly a better execution than the blue roses on the poster for I Know Who Killed Me.

• Trailer: C+; B

Review:

This is a snippet of the film that has virtually nothing to do with the plot of the film and seems to engage in typical Madea-related humor, which might be enough to bring Perry's usual audience to the theaters, but no one else.

Now that we finally see that this isn't a Madea film, her character being a minor one, there's some hope that it won't be a throwaway movie. Much like his last, non-Madea film, The Family That Preys, this one looks to have enough poignancy to weed out the more hollow moments.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
