Mea Culpa

"'Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa' isn’t for everyone. In fact, many will write it off as as shlock, and yet, there’s something admirable about a filmmaker who knows exactly what his audience wants" 

"The tagline of Tyler Perry’s new movie is 'everyone’s guilty of something,' but the responsibility for this willfully steamy, decidedly silly thriller is all his." 

"I want to get some hearty laffs from a guilty pleasure, but 'Mea Culpa' is just too dumb for this world" 

"It is Perry’s uneven handling of tone, as well as the too-long runtime, that lets the film down. It needs to be hotter and more thrilling, or campier and more ridiculous. Tragically it falls somewhere in the middle (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"With poor directional choices, cringe-worthy dialogue & unnecessary plot twists, it’s best to look at Perry’s latest as an unserious guilty pleasure." 

"While it might start out as an erotic thriller, it slows down to a damp relationship drama before meandering its way to a climax hinged on head-scratching twists that make little to zero sense (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"Trevante Rhodes is the eye candy in Mea Culpa. The problem – and it’s a big one – is that his steamy scenes are (mostly) with Kelly Rowland, and their chemistry is lacking. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
