It's a comedy. It's learns that if we have time and patience we can make children be succesful in their career. Madea saves a child in the old ways (not that that has to be done, nowadays). But she shows her love in her own olf fashioned way and save a child future. It's hilarious, laugh, laugh, laugh.... I recognized the same lines in his other works. So it seems as if I knew some parts of the movie. Feed back for Tyler: be more creative. You can do it!! A very funny movie.
July 19, 2008I have seen all of Tyler Perry's films, not including "Meet the Browns", and I have to say this is possibly my least favorite. I simply did not think much of it; it wasn't exciting, there was too little of Madea, the storyline of the mother letting her new husband rape her child with a different man was fairly impossible to believe (though I admit not completely impossible) as was the mother's personality (I find it hard to believe someone is THAT evil-hearted). I like Tyler Perry and I like his films. This one was not a bad film as I do not regret the time I spent watching it, in other words, it was entertaining enough. Just the sweet bus driver who is "really a good man" and the evil husband/fiancee was done already in "Diary of a Mad Black Woman". I guess while there is quite a bit to enjoy about this film (mostly Madea and Uncle Jim), it just doesn't feel fresh enough. But perhaps what I really expected was a pure comedy from Tyler Perry, and what I got was yet another morality play.
Nonetheless, Perry fans will enjoy this film. Like all of Perry's films, the music was superb. And like other reviewers have mentioned the "Grits and Al Green" scene was so perfect! If your interested in any other Perry film, I have reviewed/discussed them all except "Daddy's Little Girls" (which happens to be my favorite), just click on my "Real Name" and look for the films. I am also reviewing/discussing all of Spike Lee's films, who as you probably know is a dramatically different African-American director.
April 15, 2008I absolutely love this movie.We can watch it over and over again. Definitely would recommend.
March 2, 2008 |  | Tyler Perry Is Sheer Genius! |  |
I'm currently so very filled with total admiration for this brilliant and, forgive me, seemingly annointed story teller, actor, director, music composer, producer, I hardly know where to begin! I had NO clue who Tyler Perry was until one night a few months ago. I was a bit down in the dumps and I picked out this film from my local video store. I merely thought it would give me a few laughs, as I needed them at the time. Well, dear ones, hold on to your hat, hearts and kleenex as this film and this MAN are so much more! Madea's Family Reunion is "dramady" (drama/comedy) and both styles are perfectly joined together in this film! The acting, comedy and drama are first rate! Not to mention the varied and important lessons it imparts to everyone! The closing scenes of the family reunion are powerful and poignant with the brilliant Cicely Tyson teaching the family of today, what they've seemed to have lost unless the new generation of family doesn't learn to have more respect and love for each other. If I could I would love to MEET Tyler Perry and personally thank him, from the bottom of my heart, for this film that spoke to me in so many ways, and continues to bless me! With laughter and with tears! God bless you, Mr. Perry! You are amazing! MUST SEE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
December 31, 2007This is a DVD that you need around when you need a good laugh and something to minister to your soul this is exactly what you need. Tyler Perry is on that God has blessed in more ways than one. I know God has blessed us all in more than one way and will continue to do it for us all if we keep God first of everything.
