Taraji P. Henson become a somewhat hard to pronounce household name among cinephiles last fall, when her performance as the adoptive mother of a strange child in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button earned her an Oscar nomination. But despite all the accolades and increased job offers that came with the role, the first call she received after the Oscars came from an old friend– Tyler Perry.
In The Family That Preys Perry and Henson played husband and wife as part of an ensemble cast, but in the duo’s new film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, it’s much more of an individual thing for Henson. She stars in the film as April, a troubled lounge singer leading an alcohol-addled, selfish life when her niece and nephews are forced to come live with her. Perry is also part of the cast in his signature role of Madea, but it’s Henson who dominates every scene as April transforms from a prickly loner to a full-fledged member of her community and her family
