What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt’s a Tyler Perry movie through and through, and that’s exactly what divides people. His signature blend of melodrama and uplift plays out through Anika’s letters to the incarcerated Carousel, and while the story’s familiar beats and uneven pacing left many feeling it was predictable, the core audience found exactly the heartfelt, against-all-odds redemption they came for. Naomi Baker's lead performance, however, landed with a thud for the few who mentioned it. Ultimately, it’s a split decision that hinges entirely on your tolerance for Perry’s formula.
