Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/12/2008 Run time: 118 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: Tyler Perry mixes melodrama, social commentary, slapstick comedy, gospel music, and public health announcements in What's Done in the Dark... The lives of nurses, doctors, and patients of a city hospital get turned upside-down: A nurse discovers the doctor she's fooling around with is married; a faithful husband is diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease; the son of a nurse abandoned by her husband seeks desperate means to make money; and audience favorite Mr. Brown (David Mann), who's appeared in other Perry plays, comes to the hospital convinced that he's dying, dragging his long-suffering daughter Cora (Tamela Mann) along with him. What's Done in the Dark... is a production of a play, filmed before a live audience, so it doesn't have the visual dynamics of a movie, but the full-tilt, show-stopping gospel songs wouldn't have the same unbridled exuberance anywhere but on the stage. Perry's writing is rarely subtle, but What's Done in the Dark... is broader than usual--even longtime fans may find the cartoonish Nurse Trudy (D'Atra Hicks) a bit hard to take. Nonetheless, the play continues Perry's devotion to themes of love, respect, and the grace of God, as well as providing health information for the African-American community. And Mr. Brown, in his jarringly colorful clothes and silly malaprops, is a topnotch buffoon. His over-the-top theatrics are not for everyone, but fans won't be able to get enough of him. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A disappointing show. Over-the-top "ghetto" I love Tyler Perry's work and finally broke down to buy this video last week-end. What I liked: Mr. Brown was OVER THE TOP! I laughed so hard at some of the scenes I had trouble going to sleep that evening. I mean crazy laughing. "Doc, you really need to make something of yourself." Christian Keyes (is he for real???) and Brian Gentiles are...how shall I put it? Great to observe (of course, I mean their ACTING talents!) The young nurse (sorry, I can't remember her ...

BUT I STILL WISH IT WENT ON LONGER SO I COULD SEE WHAT HAPPEN WHEN A MAN KISSED HER IN THE END. MR. BROWN WAS FUNNIER OF THE ALL THAT GOT ME FALL OFF , ON THE FLOOR AND LAUGHED HARD. MY FAMILY ASKED IF I WAS OKAY? BUT IT AIN'T BAD AS "MADEA'S CLASS REUNION" IF U ASKED THAT HAS MORE SONGS. THEY ARE THE WORSE ONE THAT HAS A LOT OF SONGS THAN THIS ONE . THIS MOVIE IS HAVING ...

Rating: - Mr. Brown Saved This Mess!The ONLY reason to see this play is because of Mr. Brown. (Okay, and maybe the cute doctor.) Three reasons I didn't like What's Done in the Dark: The health infomercial preaching, partially recycled script, and Nurse Trudy. I get it! I get it! Diabetes, AIDS, STDs, cancer, heart problems, and high blood pressure=bad. Early check-ups, eating right, exercise=good. But I didn't tune in for the heavy-handed health sermon that saturated the whole play and made me roll my eyes and say, ... Read More Rating: - What's Done In the DarkAwesome play but you really don't expect less from Tyler Perry. Great cast although some of the acting seemed a little over dramatic. And at times some of the dialogue used was not original. Overall great. Fan of Tyler Perry an dhis people and will be for time to come. Browse for similar items by category:
