After serving five years in prison, wild child Tanya looks to her buttoned-up, by-the-book sister Danica to help her get back on her feet. The feisty ex-con becomes suspicious and concerned when Danica tells her that she's in a long-distance, online relationship with a mysterious man she's never seen. As the polar opposites start to collide, Tanya soon discovers that her sibling's picture-perfect life may not be what it seems.

Critics Consensus

Nobody's Fool has a pair of strong leads and a smattering of scenes that highlight Tiffany Haddish's talents -- all of which only make the uninspired end results more frustrating.

The movie is bad in all the ways Perry's movies are usually bad - it's haphazardly paced, riddled with plot holes, and thuddingly overstated in its moralizing - but that doesn't matter whenever Haddish is onscreen.

You feel like you're the victim of a cruel bait-and-switch, lured into thinking Nobody's Fool would be a crappy but nevertheless entertaining Tiffany Haddish movie, only to have it turn out to be a crappy but nevertheless crappy Tyler Perry movie.

It's something like five movies in one. Or maybe it's five movies in two. Or six movies in three. It's a mess, whatever it is, but it's not without its charms.

Perry needs to let Nobodys Fool be his last journey into crass comedy.

There's no excuse for staging and editing so bad that they preclude both drama and comedy.

Disappointing. I love Tiffany Haddish and I love the concept of the movie about a woman being catfished and her crazy sister trying to help her find out who it really is. I don't even mind the little love story with the barista. But this movie was just bad. It was so all over the place. I felt like I was watching every episode of Friends or HIMYM at the same time. That whole "will they, won't they" thing got annoying very quickly. SPOILERS ARE FOLLOWING SO STOP READING NOW IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED IT. I would have preferred if they spent more time on the whole researching who the guy was, and had Nev and Max actually go with the characters to confront the catfish. I also wish they would have just kept the story line a little more simple, let it just be a catfish and not have that stupid "plot twist" where she was taking to the real guy the whole time. It did not make sense, and it elongated the movie unnecessarily. Like they should have just had her find out he was a catfish, then had her get with coffee shop dude and that be it. Not this whole back and forth thing where he is a catfish and then she gets with coffee dude and then all of a sudden homeboy isn't a catfish anymore! So she gets with the original guy only to realize original guy sucked and ended up back with the barista annoying!!!! If people wanna watch this just stop after the part where she meets the catfish guy and leave it at that.

I enjoyed every minute of this movie! Great story, great characters. May not be award winning acting but this was a refreshing Rom Com that can and should be enjoyed by everyone!
