What happens

I Can Do Bad All by Myself is a 2009 American romantic musical comedy-drama film which was released on September 11, 2009. The film was directed, produced, and written by Tyler Perry, who also makes an appearance in the film as his signature character Madea. The rest of the cast consists of Taraji P. Henson, Adam Rodriguez, Brian White, Mary J. Blige, Gladys Knight, and Marvin L. Winans. Although the film and play share the same title, the film is not an adaptation of Perry's play of the same name, the two works have different storylines. Both are named for a lyric in the Changing Faces song "G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.". The film adaptation tells the story of an alcoholic nightclub singer being ordered to confront her actions, after being prompted to take in her estranged niece and nephews. It is the fifth film in the Madea cinematic universe. I Can Do Bad All by Myself received generally mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
