Not Easily Broken (2009)

Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

i am here to give testimony of how i got back my husband, we got married for more than 7 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated don't know what to do, i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Dr ashra spell hospital for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 1 week my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still live me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he traditional spell hospital casted on him that make him comeback to me today,me and my family are now happy again today. thank you traditional spell hospital for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of [email protected] getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend. and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.

Directed by the great Bill Duke (the big black guy from PREDATOR), NOT EASILY BROKEN is tailored for the black Christian market like a black suit and tie is tailored for a Reservoir Dog.Dave Johnson (Morris Chestnut) is married to a screeching harridan (Taraji P. Henson), who seems to possess no redeeming qualities except two mungus ta-tas - but that ain't no reason to be married to the bitch. Apparently, the knotted rope the priest entwined around their bodies when he declared them married signified God had something to do with the state contract, so - like all good christians - Dave and Screechy FEAR what might happen were they to break that bond.As it happens, Dave's life gets progressively better when he leaves Screechy for awhile and sniffs around the white MILF who looks like Bo Derek (Maeve Quinlan - peachy!) Subplots abound, as Screechy winds up in hospital after a great, realistic car accident that actually shuts her mouth mid-screech; the MILF's son dies in a swimming pool accident (pretty gruesome stuff for a minor character, only for the sake of leaving her vulnerable to Dave); Kevin Hart provides a few laughs as Dave's Crazy Black Dude friend and Eddie Cibrian is the Token White Dude friend.But nothing on heaven or earth will deter this film from irrationally, non-believably reconciling Screechy with Dave - because what God has bound together is supposedly Not Easily Broken. And the black Christian folk cheer at the screen - and go home to their listless, loveless marriages...--Review by Poffy The Cucumber (for Poffy's Movie Mania).

Not Easily Broken is based off of a novel, which kind of makes you wonder why it wasn't any better. The religious undertones became such a turnoff after a while, I just didn't care anymore.A married couple struggles with their marriage soon after a car accident and rely on faith to bring them back together. That's pretty much the whole story, let alone only one likable character throughout the entire film. Over-dramatics play out their course, and you've got to wonder why the main character is being punished by staying with his bitchy wife when he would clearly be happier with the white woman he forms a bond with.Overall, this is just an unlikable movie if you're not into faith. Despite good performances from Morris Chestnut and Traji P. Henson, there's nothing more to gain from this. However, it isn't agonizing to sit through, though.

This movie was truly touching! I saw so much that could be learned regarding marriage and family. The leading characters really played their parts well. I often felt bad for Morris's character because "Clarice" was a trip. :) I'm thankful for movies like these and would love to see more. My eyes welled up at different parts and the story line was not as predictable as I thought it was going to be. I recommend this movie for any and everybody that want to see a real picture of marriage and how different things can come in and douse whatever flame a married couple once had. Thank you TD Jakes for making such a hearty movie. I look forward to seeing more like these!
