Having to compare Tyler Perry to Adam Sandler is very fitting. Neither of them intend to make movies for journos, but rather their respective audiences they had in their minds, and when they do appear in other movies, they can do good whenever they want to.
It's fascinating how the overall shift in critics over the last decades from only giving good reviews to artsy/oscar bait films into sucking goyslop from the globohomo tit. But in both cases they'll still hate on the schlocky films for being honest and relatively "family values" socially conservative.
Which is why I cannot stand modern journalism. They expect any film to be either a work of art or an identity political piece or other stupid shit. Movies made by Tyler Perry, Adam Sander, Michael Bay, Roland Emmerich and M. Night Shyamalan, among many others, are focusing only on this simple thing–making the damn movies. Movies that focus more on the audiences intended, not for journos (or even redditors).
It's the reason why both of his movies, Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Why Did I Get Married?, earned an A+ grade on the audience surveying research score team CinemaScore. Journos and redditors do not understand that the movies do make money for better or for worse.
