Cottage-industry independent filmmaker Tyler Perry ("Madea’s family Reunion") fumbles with this family drama about Monty (Idris Elba), a salt-of-the-earth car mechanic and father of three girls trying to win a custody battle with his lowlife ex-wife Jennifer (Tasha Smith).

Monty’s troubles seem to ease when he develops a romantic connection with Julia (Gabrielle Union), a smug hot shot attorney ready to adjust her egotistic ways for love.

However, Monty has a skeleton in the closet that he’s none to proud to mention, and his inability to articulate the facts behind a case that sent him to prison brings into question his trustworthiness.

This is Perry’s first film in which he doesn’t appear as an actor and, although he has grown as a director, he still has much work to do as a screenwriter.

Rated PG-13. 99 mins.
