"The cluttered, overlong narrative never really finds its footing."
—
Variety
Variety"The script's sporadic silliness makes every plot turn questionable; how the talent deftly negotiates such goofiness makes the film near-impossible to resist."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Even if some of the crudeness and the drama feel forced, it's hard to hate."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"It's a genially soapy time-killer, though Lee's as shameless in invoking cancer as he is about the catfights and smacktalk."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"It's a pleasure to catch up with these characters as they approach the complexities and compromises of middle age with all manner of literal and figurative baggage."
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"All in all, this long-delayed sequel is a very mixed bag, with just enough laughter and tears to squeak by as holiday entertainment."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Compared to Tyler Perry’s superficially similar fare, this is a masterpiece of mood shifts."
