I Can Do Bad All By Myself has some poetic talent that includes Taraji P. Henson, Brian White, Hope Olaide Wilson, Adam Rodriguez, Kwesi Nii-Lante Boakye and Frederick Siglar. Can they sing or what!Anyway, we’ll have fun seeing Perry as Madea, America’s favorite pistol-packing grandma. She catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April. A heavy-drinking nightclub singer who lives off Raymond, her married boyfriend, April wants nothing to do with the kids. But her attitude begins to change when Sandino, a handsome Mexican immigrant looking for work, moves into April’s basement room. Making amends for his own troubled past, Sandino challenges April to open her heart. And April soon realizes she must make the biggest choice of her life: between her old ways with Raymond and the new possibilities of family, faith…and even true love.

The new trailer for Tyler Perry’s movie tells you about the story. It’s clever in that Perry hits some heart sings, but it is a familiar storyline that is too predictable unless there are some plot twists and turns that we haven’t seen or heard.  It’s still being billed as a comedy, but I’d say it’s more of a comedy-drama.
