If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The acting in this movie is really good.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Blistering performances.

Tyler may not be the best director. The characters may not be the most culturally accurate or even in the most socially sensitive to the subject matter, But I would be lying if I said the show didn't have any heart because it does have heart it's just that it has so many issues that keep it from being decent television, but I think it's still worth a watch.

House of Payne is an enjoyable show with all different types of Character personality's. I can relate to a lot of the story lines on the show, and it offers realistic situations. Despite these good things, in the few final season the writing was a little off, and I found Myself irritated with nearly every Character. The show should have ended after it's 6th season with a final episode that would have satisfied viewers, this was supposed to be a family comedy, not a soap opera! There really isn't much to say about the show, it is not terrible like everyone makes it out to be though I can tell You that, but it does have it's weak points like every show. When it first came on it started slow but picked up the pace, it's strong point was the middle seasons, but by the end it was just like the beginning, weak. With all of that being said I would recommend this show to anybody who is looking for entertainment or a good laugh.

This show is one of the worst shows that I have ever seen. How did this filth get to last this long. This show has over 200 episodes which is downright ridiculous because the show has a new season every 4 months with tons of episodes. Tyler Perry says that this show is supposed to be a positive light for families but it isn't. The show is very stereotypical. Aside from this show being stereotypical its also very corny. From the recycled and un-original humor to the laugh track that is used every 5 seconds this show has to be one of the driest comedy's ever right next to Meet the Browns and the TV shows that air on B.E.T. I'm assuming that Tyler Perry has 10 year olds writing this show because they seem to find anything funny. The characters have no chemistry or personality. It just seems like Tbs don't look at their ratings because people give this show a thumbs down.

For one, to call this show "just another sitcom" is inaccurate. This show is just as much drama as comedy. The drama is centered around addressing and resolving issues that often times plague African American society, and they do that without trying to draw you into the politics and pride that dominates most soap opera and reality show relationships.The comedy of the show is very simple but since when does comedy have to be complex? Comedy has always had many different flavors. This is elementary comedy, but that doesn't mean that its just knock knock jokes and fart jokes. That is to say, the funny lies in the personalities and personal silliness of the characters. If you've never had a silly uncle or a silly dad then you might not "get" it and you might think its boring. But to insinuate that this show is racist just because the comedy is largely centered on "buffoonery" is to negate the elementary value of this staple of comedy, as it transcends all cultures and ages. The show isn't just about the Paynes acting silly, its also about promoting very strong family values and it achieves it with very likable characters and family dynamics that a lot of America finds very relate- able. I'm not even of the same ethnicity of the main characters of the show, but all the characters remind me of someone in my family. That is probably not the case for a lot of people so I get that its totally OK to not like the show, but it is rather foolish to write it off as cheap racist comedy just because it has black people acting silly. Anyone of any culture can act silly, its not a negative reflection on any culture.I like comedy from The Big Bang Theory, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Office, and this show all just the same, while recognizing and accepting that they all achieve the laughter in different ways. In the end, if you're secure about your intelligence, like Christian values, are OK with your sitcom switching to the occasional gravely serious moments, and appreciate personalities with a strong Southern flare, you're gonna like this show.My only real complaint is how almost all the white characters are written to be absent-minded, vain and overly-naive... that part seems kinda racist to be honest, but towards white people, not black people.
