      September 11 "Meet the Browns"

      Very good black movie, sometimes it looks a bit like the female version of "When Happiness Comes Knocking", life is always very hard, especially people living in the lower classes are always trying to get a better life comfort and always Brenda's mother was a prostitute, had been with three different men, was a single mother of three, was unemployed, and she Always understand that you must live with true backbone, never go to bed with a man for money, never let your child sell drugs for...

      It's not easy to say no

          I was told it was an all black movie when I bought the disc. The black word order accent made me a little crazy, and I felt a little bored at first, and it almost disappeared. To be honest, "meet the Browns" is a good movie, light and a little heavy. Just as you're about to mourn over the difficult plight of the Brendas, the Browns' hilarious speech performance quietly defuses them.

          The film really reflects the growth of black people, especially in the ghetto. Lack of...

      Love is the key to turning the wheel of life

       When I reminisce about this film, I feel very warm from the bottom of my heart, and I feel that no matter how we complain about life, it still gives us everything we want most around the corner.
       
       Brenda has almost experienced the most unfortunate life for a woman-abandoned by love, single mother, unemployed. In the face of love, she is powerless even if she pleads hard, only in exchange for ridicule and ignorance. The man he once loved couldn't even give her an extra minute to...

      meet life

          There are always some people whose goal in life is to have food tomorrow. When Michael was preparing to sell drugs for the first time, Brenda drove him out mercilessly. The self-esteem that doesn't bow to reality is the only thing we have left now.
          The presence of Rick Fox will give you a little realism to the story, because it does look a lot like how most people in the league grew up. A single mother, a bunch of younger siblings, running around for food and clothing, dealing...

      responsibility

      There were a lot of things to say, but when I started writing, I didn't know where to start.

      Just bookmarked Ye Guanfeng's blog, because his comment wrote my thoughts. michale said he wouldn't leave Brenda and that would be as irresponsible as his father. He didn't choose to slam the door out, at that moment, he became a real man!

      The hardships of life may only be deeply appreciated by those who are in it. Therefore, we cherish the happiness in front of us more....

      No matter what others rate it, I like it very, very much because Brenda's fear of love touches a string in my heart. Because of fear, they dare not be together. It speaks to my...

    Evaluation action

    "Meet the Browns" is the unchanging warm water offered by Tyler Perry. Although Angela Bassett tried her best to display her acting skills, it is obviously a dream to activate a pool of stagnant water with only one person's high octaves of energy. The portrayal of the family group portrait is not only Tyler Perry's money, but also full of loopholes   . (Sina Entertainment Review)
    "Meet the Browns", like the rest of Tyler Perry's films,...
