 "Breathtaking photography is to be expected from a nature film.... The surprise here is the breathless economy of the storytelling." |

 "Perry marginally redeems himself after 'Good Deeds' and 'Madea's Witness Protection'.... has Perry genuinely preaching to his parish about marriage and infidelity." |
