Grammar mistakes? Suggestions? Thanks.?

All though I like a wide variety of movies, the Tyler Perry movies are some of my favorites. Diary of a Mad Black Woman is one of these movies, and is definitely one of, if not the best of them all. I love that the film is a comedy, but there is also a serious storyline that could change people’s lives. Most of the situations the characters face are similar to problems that a lot of black women have to deal with. I also like the fact that Tyler Perry, actor, creator and producer, gives hints of Christianity throughout all of his productions. Even though Tyler Perry’s movies are not billion dollar blockbusters, they are definitely some of the best movies ever made.|||Pretty good...I have made some changes below. You need to put quotes around the title of a movie and never end a sentence with a preposition!

Instead of %26quot;them all%26quot;, I%26#039;d say, %26quot;his movies%26quot;. You%26#039;ll also need to insert a comma after %26quot;if not the best of%26quot;. Other than that, it looks good!|||The only thing i can find wrong is the part of the second sentance that says (and is definitely one of). since you said it was %26quot;one of these movies%26quot; already, you don%26#039;t need that part. just say, %26quot;Diary of a Mad Black Woman is one of these movies, if not the best of them all.%26quot;





this is a really good essay!|||-%26quot;All though%26quot; should be %26quot;Although%26quot;


-Remember to use quotes around the movie title


-Remember to put a comma after the dependant clause %26quot;if not the best of%26quot;: %26quot;is definitely one of, if not the best of, them all.%26quot;


-Don%26#039;t worry too much about avoiding prepositions at the ends of sentences. I%26#039;m not saying to use them all the time, but sometimes it is okay in order to maintain the tone or voice of a paper. When you come across a sentence with a preposition at the end, try to reword it, but if it sounds too odd, don%26#039;t change it.


-I would put Tyler Perry%26#039;s roles in parentheses: %26quot;...Tyler Perry (actor, creator and producer) gives...%26quot;


-Put a hyphen between %26quot;billion%26quot; and %26quot;dollar%26quot; because this phrase is functioning as an adjective: %26quot;billion-dollar%26quot;
