Movie / Show Details

Tyler Perry wrote and directed this 2008 comedy-drama filmed as a stage play before a live audience. Set in a city hospital, the story follows nurses, doctors, and patients whose lives unravel as secrets come to the surface. A nurse discovers her married lover, a faithful husband receives a shocking diagnosis, and a nurse’s son turns to desperate measures for money. Fan-favorite character Mr. Brown arrives at the hospital convinced he is dying, accompanied by his long-suffering daughter. Perry blends melodrama, slapstick comedy, gospel music, and social commentary throughout, with the ensemble cast including Ahmad Jamal McGhee, Chandra-Currelley Young, Christian Keyes, D’Atra Hicks, and David Mann.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Lionsgate Films with a runtime of two hours and twenty minutes, rated Not Rated. The production captures the full energy of a live theatrical performance, complete with show-stopping gospel numbers and Perry’s signature blend of humor and faith-based themes.
