If Hallmark decided to make war movies

Review by Happypumpkin18 ★★★

It’s an important story to tell and Tyler Perry tries his best, Kerry Washington too and it should be great. But it’s not. Between the cliché ridden script and the sometimes corny dialogue, the monotonous editing—I don’t know what holds it back the most. Now this isn’t a bad movie as it does have its moments, I just wish it was better. 

2024 Ranked.

Two things can be true at once about this movie. The Six Triple Eight is a fascinating and uplifting true story that I wish I had known about prior to this movie. Also, I wish it had been directed by someone other than Tyler Perry. Putting it mildly, he's an awful director. He directs every scene, every moment, to be a message instead of a story. We learn nothing about any character as they aren't even characters. They are just broad symbols of a message. Still, to honor my two favorite critics, Siskel and Ebert, I give it two thumbs up thanks to the story, even though this could have been a truly powerful film if it had even a semblance of a competent director.

I love the story and am so happy that these women are getting their due here, but it’s unfortunately giving TV movie to the max.

Sorting through 17 million pieces of hard-to-decipher mail sounds like my own private nightmare. These women deserve all the recognition and praise.

This was pretty bad. It’s clear Oscar bait with extremely over dramatic acting that took away from an inspiring story. It’s an interesting story that was not well told. I’m a little concerned that Tyler Perry doesn’t know how to make a good movie. He’s given good material with a strong cast, but none of it flowed well together. A disted mess. Very disappointing as this movie had lots of potential.

This is such an interesting story I just wish it were in the hands of a more capable filmmaker. Tyler Perry's dialogue is always so on the nose and he just could not figure out how to make Lena's story and Charity's story cohere into one cohesive narrative. They also did not give this man a good VFX budget damn. I did tear up at the end when everyone got their mail though 🤷‍♀️
