(1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "While Perry is still preaching to the already converted, I Can Do Bad All By Myself confirms that he's finally figured out how to turn said sermonizing into a far more mainstream experience."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "It's discouraging to watch Bad build an unusual rhythm in the opening scenes only to stop itself and sprint back into Madea/preach mode, where the uncomfortable marriage of Jesus and domestic violence reigns."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C+ "Not a very good movie, but it has some sincerely positive ideas, and those ideas almost make up for the fact that it's not a very good movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/5 "Despite a plot that’s arguably Perry’s most predictable, I Can Do Bad All By Myself is genuinely affecting when the gospel spirit takes hold and is a marked improvement over his last two pieces of moral burlesque."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy 3/4 "I Can Do Bad All By Myself may not be a model of tonal restraint, but it's well acted, it's funny, the music is phenomenal, and the religion is sincere."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "The songs and Henson's sensitive portrayal of the woman who has neglected herself and her home keep us involved."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1/5 "Narratively and grammatically dim redemption pap."   Time Out New York   Nick Schager 2.5/4 "I Can Do Bad acknowledges Madea's flaws with loving scrutiny, and doesn't require approval of her more selfish attributes."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick 2.5/4 "Perry predictably delivers a "lesson" toward the end of the film about the power of love over violence. After watching the movie, you'll either leave inspired or ready to turn in your church membership."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1
