Amazing heart wrenching and heart warming story of enduring love. Perfectly cast and seamlessly written. A multi faceted modern day Note Book. I would have to say this has transcended Tyler Perry movies for me. I laughed, I cried, I sat on the edge of my seat, I sank into my seat totally overcome by raw emotion leading me to write this review my first ever movie review.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I stopped at 3.5 stars just because 4 and up seems like the best of the best to me. This movie was very good though. Good story, good acting and I always love a film set in the deep south. One thing I didn't like was when Miss Leann came back somehow only a few years later there were people who did not recognize her as the same girl, Bucket, they knew before??

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Music for a start! Great music..but would expect a period film to also adhere to something thats in keeping to the timeline. Opening first 6 mins, it's 1926 , sugar shack barn playing jazz from the 50's So music out of sync. Script totally predicable. Nice photography and locations. But ultimately a poor film

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I am growing to appreciate romance stories that don't end "happily ever after" because it makes the audience contemplate the character's choices and their own. This story made me think about each of the characters' decisions and find the humanness in each story, even if I disagreed with their extreme melodramatic behaviors. Once the credit started to roll, I accepted where this move led everyone.

Perry has accomplished tonally, artistically and dramatically all he needed to do with this rich melodrama. No wrinkles. No mistakes.

Rated: 3.5/4

Entertainment Weekly

[Perry] has a way of making even the most telegraphed twists and overheated dialogue ring with conviction, a consummate entertainer to the end.

A Jazzman’s Blues proves that when Perry applies himself in a particular fashion, his work can stand entirely on its own.

The Root

That’s not to say that I wasn’t still hesitant or had certain reservations going in. But it is to say that even for someone as annoyingly predictable as Perry, it’s still always possible to be surprised.

Rated: 2.5/5

Deadline Hollywood Daily

A Jazzman’s Blues might be better seen with remote in hand, like a Sunday afternoon cable rerun of one of the classy ’50s melodramas it channels with great technical and music credits but whose intelligence and sophistication it can’t quite replicate.

SHIFTER

While Tyler Perry is known for over-the-top drama in his TV shows, A Jazzman’s Blues delivers the kind of drama that pulls at your heart strings and immerses you into the story.
