Tyler Perry's House of Payne Volume 10  Review by Suzanne Lanoue 3/3/13

I had seen the first season of this show and didn't really like it. Now, reviewing the volume 10 of the show on DVD, I find I really do like it. It's not your typical sitcom in that it is not all that funny, and it has lots of drama. I would say it's more like a light drama that is sometimes funny. The people in it are more real than they are in most sitcoms. They're not just acting silly and zany.

If you like Tyler Perry's movies, you'll probably like this show. I think the show is probably a little better than most of his movies... at least the ones I've seen. And contrary to what some people say, I don't think you have to be African-American to enjoy this show.

It's about a multi-generational black family and how some of them are struggling. The show's leads, Curtis and Ella, take in a troubled teen, DeShawn, so a lot of the stories focus on their raising him.  I think it's a very good show, and families especially should like to watch it together.

There are no extras, but there are many episodes. Give it a try!
