"Mea Culpa" Is Quickly Becoming A Viral Sensation, And The Funny Tweets Are Pouring In

"The only good thing about this movie is Kelly’s face and outfits."

On Friday, Tyler Perry's new legal thriller, Mea Culpa, premiered on Netflix, and it's quickly becoming a viral hit.

People are praising the film's stars, Kelly Rowland and Trevante Rhodes, for their great looks and acting, but overall, it's nothing but jokes and laughs about the film itself.

In the film, Mea Harper (Kelly) is a criminal defense attorney who becomes entangled in the life of Zyair Malloy (Trevante), an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend. In classic T. Perry fashion, the movie is filled with twisted moments that will have your jaw on the floor — though the reasons why may vary.

Don't get me wrong, Tyler's work ethic as a filmmaker and knack for delivery is unrivaled, but based on Mea Culpa's reactions — I think people might be reaching their limit.

The only way I’ve been able to sit through this movie is to look at it as a comedy, because this can’t be serious 🤦🏽‍♂️ I know Tyler has done a lot for people but why does he continue to write and direct 🗑️ #MeaCulpa pic.twitter.com/LJGbedfFOt

The last 20 minutes of this movie is utter CHAOS! The whole movie lead up to this? And it didn't even make sense. Tyler please!!! I'd give it a solid 5/10, mainly because Kelly and Shannon are fine AF! Other than that the storyline made 0 sense. #MeaCulpa pic.twitter.com/qjTQrsDO36

The overall writing of the movie wasn’t great but one thing’s for sure is that Kelly Rowland acted her ass off with the script they gave her. There were moments where I forgot she was ‘Kelly’ and for that, she deserves her 10s. Watch #MeaCulpaNetflix #MeaCulpa pic.twitter.com/uNXBTtr5Hf

Whether you like the movie or not, you can't deny that Tyler might have another hit on his hands. What did you think about Mea Culpa?
