A lot more romantic drama than I expected and strong feel-good theme about forgiveness and redemption. Despite the goofy DVD packaging and the clips I had seen from the movie (all of which didn't appeal to me...nothing seemed funny or even clever), I dared to rent this based on all the good reviews quoted on the DVD case and all the press the movie got. Overall a lot better than I expected . Entertaining feel-good story and funny. I'm a single white female with no religious affiliation, so very different than the average audience member who saw this in theaters. Wasn't aware of the strong Christian-base of the movie's writer and creator and star til I watched some of the extras. The Outtakes on the DVD are particularly funny and also Madea in the You Can Do It - It's Electric outtake.
