The Six Triple Eight (2024) review

Distraught that her Jewish "boyfriend" was killed in World War II, high school graduate Lena Derriecott King (Ebony Obsidian) joins the all-black US Women's Army Corps (WACs) under the tutelage of deadly serious Major Charity Adams (Kerry Washington) - at first, they don't have a "real assignment," but when Eleanor Roosevelt (Susan Sarandon) finds out the soldiers aren't getting their mail, the battalion is sent to Europe and use the run-down King Edward's School as their home base to establish a streamlined delivery system.  It is based on a true story and everyone involved should be commended (because who doesn't want to have perfume-scented letters mailed to them?), but since this is a Tyler Perry production and there's not a whole of inherent drama to the operation (it's not like they have to dodge bullets from Nazis), he resorts to making it about the ladies' romantic lives (Lena can't get over her heartache) and routinely brings out racist white guys, especially General Halt (Dean Norris), to berate them.  It's essentially an over-lit soap opera where, of course, the hard-working WACs are ultimately applauded for their efforts by the Caucasian males: Mr. Perry knows what his audience wants.
