Tyler Perry’s Latest Netflix Flop: Mea Culpa Madness. Really Funny!
Ah, Tyler Perry, the master of churning out movies and TV series like a factory line spits out widgets. But alas, it seems quality takes a backseat in his relentless pursuit of quantity. His latest endeavor, “Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa,” hit Netflix screens like a soggy pancake on Feb. 23, and let’s just say, the internet didn’t hold back on its scathing reviews.
Picture this: Kelly Rowland playing Mea, a lawyer defending Trevante Rhodes’ character Zyair in a murder trial. Sounds juicy, right? Well, hold on to your popcorn because it’s about to get wild. As Mea grapples with her failing marriage and the case unfolds, she finds herself drawn to the charms of the irresistibly sexy artist. But wait, that’s where the train derails and goes off the tracks into a vortex of absurd plot twists that lead to a conclusion so nonsensical, you’d think it was written by a mischievous monkey with a typewriter.
Black folks, in particular, weren’t impressed. Once again, they found themselves scratching their heads, wondering why they keep letting Perry get away with these crimes against good storytelling. One TikTok user hilariously pointed out that Perry seems to skip the editing process altogether, going straight from brainwave to production without bothering to iron out the kinks. And oh boy, are there kinks aplenty.
Let’s not throw shade at Kelly Rowland, though. Bless her soul for trying to salvage this dumpster fire of a movie. She was handed a steaming pile of hot mess and asked to turn it into a gourmet feast. Respect.
But the real question is, should Perry “pay” for this cinematic atrocity? Well, according to some TikTok users, it’s worse than his infamous bad wigs. Yep, it’s that bad. And don’t even get us started on the characters – one viewer couldn’t even stomach 25 minutes of their unbelievable antics.
Despite the collective groans and eye rolls, Perry’s got Hollywood wrapped around his little finger. With blank checks flying his way, there’s no stopping this creative juggernaut. And let’s face it, as long as people keep tuning in, why would he change his winning formula?
So, if you’re feeling masochistic or just fancy a laugh, “Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa” is now streaming on Netflix. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.
