On her Facebook page, Mellika said she wasn’t a fan of Tyler Perry’s movies, as she gave her review of the movie.
The movie explored the story of a single mother, Janiyah Wiltkinson, played by Taraji P. Henson.
She was hit in different directions by the struggles of life, but the most difficult challenge was caring for her daughter Aria, who was frequently ill.
Mellika said in her post:
“I am not a fan of that Tyler Perry Straw Movie. It’s way to over the top. Come on now, yall gotta stop saying everything is good. In the 1st 30mins of the movie her baby was taken, her items thrown out same day and she shot a guy.
“We turned this garbage off. I didn’t even watch it to the end. See this what I be talking about some of yall don’t know good movies like you don’t know good food. This Movie is a hard pass for me.”

Reactions trail woman’s review of Straw
Chy’enne Valentino said:
“Well, that’s probably because you didn’t give it a chance just like a lot of other things you’ve never given a chance. You know you’ve always liked things to happen like microwave success. Be patient, my doll.”
Katherine Darden said:
“I’m normally not a Tyler movie or play fan. I watched because of the “hype”. In the beginning I felt like turning the channel but decided to keep watching. It ended up being good. Some great messages: How situations can cause the mind to snap and sometimes you don’t even realize that you’re mentally unstable.”
Latricia Fields said:
“I strongly agree! I feel the same way about that sinners movie too.”
Spring Showers said:
“Oh no!! I get it that it jumped from one thing to another but, I can’t stand no lonnnng storylines.”
