Jakes previous novel Women Thou Art Loosed was a very impressive movie, five years later and the movie Not Easily Broken is just as good.Read full review
Compared to the book, it's not very good. The book starts with the accident and goes from there, through the marriage issues.......all which is very good. The movie has a lot of what I consider unnecessary......hip hop and background of the characters, which is quite lengthy. That part not enjoyable. Had purchased for our church library, but I'm not going to put it in there. The book, however, IS part of our library.

This is a great movie about the ups and downs of marriage. The message is inspiring and the actors did a good job. Whether you have been married or not, I am positive you will find something that you can relate to in this film. Though this movie is based on T.D. Jakes' book, the movie does a good job in keeping this movie balanced so that non-religious people can enjoy. The diversity of the cast makes it even better as well. I highly recommend this be purchased and added to your collection if you like movies like Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married?" this movie has some similarities.
This DVD said it was an hour long, but it seemed longer...but in a good..err GREAT way. It had some bad words in it (which surprised me because of the genre. But if you can get past that (no really bad words or "saying God's name in vain"), I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this movie. ~~ And if you're a guy who thinks this is just a "chick-flick," just grin and bear it; it's only an hour long. You can get a movie for the "dude-mood" to watch after this one's done!
