Product Description: WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK - FS (DVD MOVIE)Amazon.com: Tyler Perry mixes melodrama, social commentary, slapstick comedy, gospel music, and public health announcements in What's Done in the Dark... The lives of nurses, doctors, and patients of a city hospital get turned upside-down: A nurse discovers the doctor she's fooling around with is married; a faithful husband is diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease; the son of a nurse abandoned by her husband seeks desperate means to make money; and audience favorite Mr. Brown (David Mann), who's appeared in other Perry plays, comes to the hospital convinced that he's dying, dragging his long-suffering daughter Cora (Tamela Mann) along with him. What's Done in the Dark... is a production of a play, filmed before a live audience, so it doesn't have the visual dynamics of a movie, but the full-tilt, show-stopping gospel songs wouldn't have the same unbridled exuberance anywhere but on the stage. Perry's writing is rarely subtle, but What's Done in the Dark... is broader than usual--even longtime fans may find the cartoonish Nurse Trudy (D'Atra Hicks) a bit hard to take. Nonetheless, the play continues Perry's devotion to themes of love, respect, and the grace of God, as well as providing health information for the African-American community. And Mr. Brown, in his jarringly colorful clothes and silly malaprops, is a topnotch buffoon. His over-the-top theatrics are not for everyone, but fans won't be able to get enough of him. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews:
- I LOVE all Tyler Perry movies and plays but.....: I have to be honest this play was long there were some funny parts here and there. I feel asleep and when I woke up I saw Mr. Brown and Cora had came into the picture and thats when it was really funny. Mr. Brown and Cora made the movie. I really believe Tyler Perry movies and plays are better when he is in them just like for instance when House of Payne first started it wasn't really that good (it has improved) but when Madea was on there like one or two epsidoes it was really good. I love Tyler Perry and will always support his movies and plays so if you feel the same way you should buy this DVD.
- what' done in the dark: I TRULY LOVED THIS PLAY TO ME IT WAS OUTSTANDING. I NEVER BECOME TIRIED OF VIEWING THIS PLAY. WHAT A POSITIVE, UPLIFTING PLAY.
- He did it again: Tyler Perry has done it again. I just love watching this over and over again without getting tired of watching it. This play hits home with some of the situations, and will keep you laughing all the way through.
- Great: I thought the movie was great. I watched it four times over and over again. This is a movie that really hits home.
- What's Done in the Dark: It begins slow, but becomes hilarious when Brown enters. One character who plays a nurse is over dramatic and acts too silly when the new doctor arrives. She has dated the doctor before in college and have three children, but she acts like a teenager. Brown brings a lot of laughter to the show.
