    Tyler Perry’s newest film ‘Acrimony’ hits theatre’s on Friday, March 30th, and the film has everyone wondering what does Acrimony mean? Well according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word “Acrimony” means bitterness or ill feeling. 

    The film tells the story of Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) a faithful wife who becomes enraged when she learns her devious husband (Lyriq Bent) has betrayed her by having an affair with another woman

    Tyler Perry shared with Page Six “I was watching CNN and they described our president as ‘acrimonious’ — so I looked it up.” “I wanted it to describe who Melinda [the main character] was, and when I found the word I knew it had to be the title of my movie.”

    “This movie is so intense, it’s so wonderful,” Perry said. “You look at the trailer and think it’s about a man cheating on a woman, but the twists and turns take you in a different direction. I love it.”
