r/TylerPerry

Tyler Perry movies and shows are way overrated. The story lines are weak. And the acting, actually I wont judge that since they have to read what is written. Just watched Mea Culpa. Good concept, but could have been written SO much better. I guess since he gets to put his own stuff out, he doesn’t care if they are good as long as it makes him money. Just my opinion.

Has anyone else noticed that the newer House of Payne seasons have really long, drawn-out scenes?

Like when Auntie Ella was trying to talk to Jazmine about sex, peer pressure, and relationships, the conversation kept getting interrupted by Curtis coming in asking about dinner, and it felt like it took forever to get to the point.

Another time when Calvin was talking to Jasmine’s boyfriend after he followed her into the house. The whole “Why are you here? What are you doing here?” exchange just went on much longer than it needed to.

I’ve noticed this in a lot of the newer episodes. It feels like scenes that could be 2–3 minutes end up lasting 6–8 minutes because of repeated dialogue and interruptions. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?

She acts like she knows whats best for everyone but ends up creating more drama. In the first season back, Calvin was trying to move on with his life after the divorce. Yes Miranda is the mother of his child. So she will be around. But it's no reason for her to be at the house for the sake of being there. But because Miranda wants Calvin back, Ella tries to force them to talk and get back together no matter how much Calvin rejects the idea. Even tho MIRANDA LEFT CALVIN in the last episode of the original series.

Ella was so judgmental about Malik dating a stripper. She had so much to say about CJ letting them live in his house while Lisa is pregnant. He was trying to help his son, future daughter-in-law, and his grandbaby. What does Ella do? She took the lil kids away without telling anybody and had the whole house stressing. Then got in her feelings when CJ told her that is his house. Those his children. And he's gonna help them just like she helped Janine when she was on crack. Even tho CJ and Curtis were against it after Janine robbed them TWICE

After all the drama with Laura. She said she was done with the Payne family and simply wanted to move on. Instead of leaving the girl alone, Ella wrote her a letter saying don't hesitate to come around if she needs anything. And now in the next season Laura comes back trying to make things work with Calvin. After he already got back together with Miranda. Every single time Calvin tries to move on with someone new, Ella brings his exes back and tries to force them back together.

Curtis is constantly telling her "That aint got nothing to do with us. They grown now. Let them figure it out by themselves" But she keeps putting herself in everyone's business anyway and creating more problems for everyone else

I just watched an episode of House of Payne and it pacing structure doesn't sit right with me for some reason. The episode I was watching was called "Love Thy Neighbor" I think it said in a search the episode was from season 8?

Basically the episode is about the family befriending a new neighbor who they discover is on a sex offender registry. And the other couple trying to find shared hobbies. Once they discover the guy they naturally expose this to the whole neighborhood, everyone freaks out and try to figure out what to do about him. This escalates to suggesting actual crimes against the guy and Ella starts chastising the others for judging him so harshly before knowing more. Which I don't have a problem with so much as how this all resolves.

The SO comes over asking who slashed his tires. The neighbors get hostile and they tell him to leave/try to fight him. Ella, after all of her preaching, just...does nothing. She says she doesn't want any part of this. This is my problem. After all of that nothing really happens. The dude comes back later to talk to Curtis, where he tells him he isn't some monster and he doesn't want to hurt his family. Curtis just tells him he can't be here, and the guy explains he's already packed his bags. That's how the episode ends.

So...That it?

I thought maybe this was a two part episode or continuing plot line but when the next episode aired on TV it had nothing to do with that. The plot and sub plot felt like tonal whiplash and and the episode feels completely unresolved. We never learn what the guy did? Ella speaks all holier than thou then just f*cks off right when her words would count? It felt we were supposed to partially side with the sex offender about the community not driving him out before knowing his story, but we got nothing. What did we learn here?

So my question is does this show do things like this often? I didn't hate the entire episode or anything but that lack of consistency bothered me bad for some reason. I'm interested in knowing more about the show but if it keeps doing things like that then I think I'll just leave this as a show I only watch when I'm over at company.

I just finally caught up on the rest of the season and I need Emmitt Perry Jr. to run me my fade. I’m disrespecting him by using his government name same way he disrespected me with that finale. My heart hurts so bad for Tiff and I want somebody to knock Geneva head again ughhhhh. I was waiting for it all to come out but not like that 😫🙄

The way they just jumped Eli and Simone in the Oval Office put a big ass grin on my face😭 Them talking shit together. The lil smack on her butt he gave. Plus the episode before when they were talking about Jason's weird habits. Every time Hunter was finna say "Because YOU was a bad parent" to Victoria. He quickly changed that shit to "WE were bad parents"
