Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this Tyler Perry dramedy is very similar to its predecessors, with lots of family dysfunction and some fairly adult themes amid the jokes -- including questions about paternity, drug abuse, and drug dealing, marital woes, and references to rape. There's a fair amount of swearing, though no F-bombs, and one character loves to smoke weed. Nevertheless, there are also a lot of discussions about faith, forgiveness, and the importance of family.

Sexual Content

A retiree attempts to fondle a doctor in an examination room. Much discussion about baby mamas and their attempts to figure out the father of their children. A few innuendoes.

Violence

Men joke about shutting up their wives; a woman disciplines everyone, even kids, with insults and slaps. The same character rams her car into a fast food restaurant and pelts a worker with food. A brief discussion about how an uncle raped his niece. Lots of yelling.

Language

One "s--t," plus "damn," "ho," "hell," "ass," "jackass," "oh my God," and a number of bleeped-out words during one scene meant to take place on a TV show.

Social Behavior

Although family relationships can be messy, hurtful, and dysfunctional, the movie makes the point that love and faith can see families through the worst circumstances.

Consumerism

Mention of Mercedes Benz.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

One character smokes weed like a chimney; another character reluctantly sells drugs.
