Watch Not Easily Broken For Free

Wonderful Movie

Very well executed

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

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.

I wanted support the movie because I am a big fan of T.D. Jakes' works. I went with a sibling who was also skeptical about the film because of the lack of buzz around it. To sum up our experience, we were SO GLAD that we went to view it last night. We thoroughly enjoyed the film as did the rest of the audience. We are still talking about it.Morris Chestnut and Taraji Henson did a great job with their roles. I highly recommend the movie for couples, singles, divorcées, and etc. as the movie makes points about relationships that everyone can relate to on some level - yet without beating you over the head. Do not go by the reviews, go and see this movie for yourself - you will not be disappointed!

Not your typically story line. This is a must see for all couples and especially married couples. I liked the fact that it gave you another perspective on how some marriages get in trouble. This was not the typically man bashing movie. We need more movies that show several different experiences in relationships instead of the same ole he cheated or he abused her... My husband also thought this was not the typically couples movie so I think men and women would like this one. Kevin H. was also very funny in this movie. I was glad to see Morris C. in a movie without Gabby. This movie didn't get the credit it deserved by most papers.
