Product Description
The path of true love never runs smoothly. Just ask Dave and
Clarice Johnson. After many years of marriage, their affection for each other is being severely tested by life. Following a car accident that temporarily sidelines Clarice, the couple must come to grips with physical temptations, financial pressures and emotional challenges that threaten their love for each other. Ultimately, they must determine whether or not their vows are easily broken in this soul-stirring film based on the inspirational best-selling novel by T.D. Jakes.

Highly Enjoyable,

By Derrick Dunn “The Realest DJ” (Woodbridge,VA) -

T.D. Jakes previous novel Women Thou Art Loosed was adapted into animpressive film, five years and his follow up film Not Easily Broken isjust as good. Directed by the underrated Bill Duke whose previous workincludes Hoodlum and Deep Cover, Not Easily Broken tells the story of acouple (Morris Chestnut & Taraji P. Henson) whose marriage is crisis.After a car accident, injurers Henson’s character things only get worseand their marriage but more importantly their faith is tested. I watchedthe film with my wife. It was a treat to discuss the film with her onthe way out of the theater to our car. And during the ride home we cameto understand a little more about each other. The acting considering thereligious material is first rate, Morris Chestnut displays the sameleading man charm he always does and fresh off her Oscar Worthy turn inBenjamin Button, Henson does wonders. Jenifer Lewis steals every sceneshe’s in as the mother-in-law, and Kevin Hart provides tons of comicrelief as a life long friend to Chestnut’s character. Not Easily Brokenis the kind of film that most critics will tear apart. It could be therelack of familiarity for most critics when it comes to the gospel genre.Take for example the similar marriage in crisis themed filmRevolutionary Road which is currently in release and stars Kate Winslet& Leonardo Dicarpo. Winslet just won a Golden Globe for her role inRoad, while critics roasted Henson’s performance in Not Easily Broken.While Winslet’s character differs slightly from Henson’s in Not EasilyBroken both give performances that any women single or married canrelate to. While Not Easily Broken does have an overlapping religioustheme, anyone no matter what your religious beliefs willing to givethis film a chance will be pleasantly surprised.

Predictable, but worth watching….,

By T. Kenard (Canton, Ohio) -

And I only say ‘predictable’ because after seeing the trailers/commercials, you see the movie is one of those ‘doesn’t miss what she has until it’s gone’ type of things. Chestnut plays a husband who has fallen on hard times in his career & only longs to have children, while his wife, Henson, plays a corp.ladder-climbing woman who can’t tolerate anything less than the ‘all that ‘life-style & has no time for children. But instead of trying to work on the relationship w/her hubby, she uses him for her whipping post, only compounded when her ‘mother from hell’ arrives (J. Lewis is ALWAYS amazing in her roles - this fit her perfectly!)& they kinda mother-daughter tag team him until he snaps under the weight. THEN when Henson suspects hubby of leaning toward someone else who’ll give him the time of day, she FINALLY sees the bitchiness of her & her mother’s ways (Duh!), she goes after her man & begs forgiveness. I like ‘relationship’ movies w/a message, so this was all good. Nothing wrong w/food for thought…..

Wonderful!,

By A. M. Slater (Tallahassee, Florida) -

This movie is wonderful and a great conversation starter for couples whether married or not. Upon finding out the length of the film, I was initially concerned about the movie’s ability to create profound characters. I was pleasantly surprised to see how this story unfolded and touched on a few poignant themes such as fatherhood, temptation, faith, resentment, and the role/influence of outsiders (friends and family) on a marriage. It really makes you think about what’s important and what you’re really willing to fight for when you love someone. You have to see this movie! I can’t wait to purchase it on DVD!
