There's a new movie making waves on Amazon Prime Video, but unfortunately, it's not for the right reasons. This latest film, titled Divorce in the Black, has received a damning 0% rating on the popular review site Rotten Tomatoes. Critics are not holding back, with many calling it "garbage" and "dumb." The film, directed and written by Hollywood veteran Tyler Perry, stars Meagan Good as Ava, a woman who decides to divorce her husband Dallas after he abandons their marriage. However, as fate would have it, Ava soon discovers the true extent of Dallas' deceit and manipulation, which not only destroyed their relationship but also sabotaged her chances of finding true love.
Divorce in the Black also features Joseph Lee Anderson and Taylor Polidore in supporting roles and was released on July 11th. However, it seems to have flopped quite embarrassingly, with audience reactions labeling it as "unimpressive" and "baffling." To make matters worse, the film has received a 0% score from all the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with not a single positive review so far. Of course, there are only 10 reviews at the moment, so that could potentially change in the future. Still, it's not looking good for Divorce in the Black.
The Guardian, in its scathing one-star review, called it "easily Tyler Perry's worst film to date," criticizing its careless production and dull storytelling. Another review from Ready Steady Cut was even harsher, questioning Perry's decision to put his name in the title and labeling the film as "execrable garbage." However, as they say, one person's trash is another person's treasure, and some fans have actually enjoyed the film, while others have not.
For instance, Miriam B praised the film's "incredible acting" and "engaging and relevant storyline," while acknowledging that everyone's experience with a movie is subjective. On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is currently at 59%, which is still considered "rotten" but significantly better than 0%. Some fans have even taken to the site to defend the film, urging others to watch it and make their own judgments.
Divorce in the Black may have joined the list of films with a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, such as Pinocchio, The Last Days of American Crime, Cabin Fever, and Staying Alive. But this is not the first time Perry has faced harsh criticism from critics. Despite this, the film is currently at the number one spot on Prime Video's streaming charts in the US, showing that it has found an audience despite the negative reception.
Perry, who is also known for his iconic character Madea and successful TV series like House of Payne, is no stranger to the entertainment industry. He has also appeared in critically acclaimed films like Gone Girl and Vice and is a producer on upcoming projects such as Sister Act 3. Despite the disappointing response to Divorce in the Black, Perry's career continues to thrive, with a loyal fan base and a successful film and TV studio under his belt.
So, whether you love it or hate it, Divorce in the Black is still available to stream on Prime Video in both the UK and the US. And who knows, you may end up enjoying it more than the critics did. After all, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
