Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

J-Fields2594 I wasn't surprise by the low rating given by IMDb, its predominantly black show. 85% of the time, most of the predominantly black shows are given ridiculous low ratings.First off, i will like to say how much i dislike people that watch one episode, and decide to write a review. Seriously, why are you typing up a review? You only watching one episode? Be real, its like how i get annoyed at people that make stupid reviews about shows that are mostly for kids.Anyway, in my opinion, its a good show. The acting is good, nice chemistry between them all. I also love the drama, it at times can be very sad, but very realistic. Such as, Jenean. She played her character great. Her acting as a crack addicted wife and mother was really award worthy. Simply because it was realistic. In the real world, thats how most crack addicted women and men act. They are very emotional at times, aggravated, try to get help but ditch, and steal from their family. I commend Tyler on that area of the show. The actor that plays Cj also plays his role very well. He and the actress that plays Janean have great chemistry. The emotion he gives out when he is angry is very realistic, in my opinion. Even when Jenean got better, the way it all played out was very good. Cj still being angry at her, Malik having some resentment on her returning, mostly because of the teasing of his schoolmates and all. Curtis gives great comedy release, he is a very good actor, very likable at times. And Ella is also a very good actress, she plays her role very well, have to love her. Now, i wouldn't say that it is as funny as Meet the Browns, because it isn't. But it is a very great show. Though it did fell off in some areas, mostly after Jeneane and Cj moved and then came back. Seriosuly though, don't decide to not watch the show because of the asinine reviews of those who rarely watch the show except for one episode. If you watch it from the start, you will grow to like it as I.

trehxx This show is one of the worst shows that I have ever seen. How did this filth get to last this long. This show has over 200 episodes which is downright ridiculous because the show has a new season every 4 months with tons of episodes. Tyler Perry says that this show is supposed to be a positive light for families but it isn't. The show is very stereotypical. Aside from this show being stereotypical its also very corny. From the recycled and un-original humor to the laugh track that is used every 5 seconds this show has to be one of the driest comedy's ever right next to Meet the Browns and the TV shows that air on B.E.T. I'm assuming that Tyler Perry has 10 year olds writing this show because they seem to find anything funny. The characters have no chemistry or personality. It just seems like Tbs don't look at their ratings because people give this show a thumbs down.

shanni79 I have yet to watch anything by Tyler Perry that isn't good. I guess you gotta be from the south to understand some of the humor on House of Payne. Everyone I know watches this show and they enjoy it too, and for the same reasons I do. We can all identify with the characters and the plot(s) of this show. I either have been in some of the same situations (or know someone who has), and every character on that show reminds me of someone I know personally. It usually helps to be able to connect with what's going on a sitcom to be able to enjoy it.If you enjoy Perry's comedies, give this show a chance...it's hilarious! In spite of all these bad reviews, there must be a reason why it's still on TV right? Just sayin'...

horrormoviefan101 What can I say about this pile of garbage that hasn't already been said? Everything about this show is just bad; the actors, for one thing try way too hard. LaVan Davis, who plays Curtis, is particularly annoying. The writing for this show is also quite awful. Every single joke just falls flat on it's face, and the laugh track doesn't help much either. I've watched at least twenty episodes of this show and I can't even crack a smile. I really don't understand how something this dreadful has managed to stay on for five (yes five) seasons while brilliant shows like "Arrested Development" get canned after only three seasons. Case in point, stay away, far away from this show.
