Plot: Alfre Woodard and Kathy Bates star in writer/director Tyler Perry's family drama about an upper-crust family and their working-class counterparts, who discover that scandal knows no social boundaries. Charlotte Cartwright (Bates) and Alice Pratt (Woodard) may be from different sides of the tracks, yet over the years they've managed to nurture a strong and healthy friendship. That friendship is put to the ultimate test, however, when their adult children begin to act out in ways that neither parent ever saw coming. Alice's daughter Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) is married to a trusting husband named Chris (Rockmond Dunbar), but lately she's been betraying that trust by sleeping with her boss, William (Cole Hauser), who just so happens to be Charlotte's son. William is married to Jillian (KaDee Strickland), and in addition to being unfaithful, he's also scheming to take over the role of COO at his mother's lucrative construction firm. Meanwhile, Alice's other daughter, Pam (Taraji P. Henson), and her husband, Ben (Perry), a faithful family man and construction worker, have both recognized that their family has strayed from the course of righteousness, and become determined to help their loved ones back on the right path. When paternity secrets, shady double dealings, and a series of other scandals become too much for Charlotte and Alice to take, the two women set out on a cross-country trip in order to clear their heads and devise a plan for saving their families. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A nice departure
Added 10/28/2009

In my opinion, this is the best Tyler Perry work to-date. It is a departure from his "Madea" character-driven plays/movies, and has some rather heavy-hitters in the starring roles. This one makes you think and feel about serious issues, and not just find escape from them through laughter. Good work.

My favorite part of this movie was the relationship between Alice & Charlotte (Alfre Woodard & Kathy Bates). Moved me to tears at times thru the movie. I adore Alice and her scene at the country Bar made me laugh soo hard and then again at the Strip club. I loved it, I cant say it enough. I love Alfre Woodard, and am so glad to see her, and Dang, she looks great. And Cathy Bates is definately a Favorite of mine too. This movie is such a treat, there were lots of things going on througout the movie but By far my favorite was the Friendship of the two mothers.

Tyler Perry's best movie
Added 9/17/2009

This movie is by far the best movie Tyler Perry has ever done. It's also the most original and unpredictable. The friendship between Woodard and Bates was genuine. You could see that they had mutual respect for each other.

I also enjoyed the relationship between the sisters and their spouses.

A wonderful story about family, turmoil, and life.

This is a great story and it is all too common with what we are going through in reality.
