Madea's Family Reunion (Full Screen Edition) description
Tyler Perry, impresario of the gospel theater circuit, brings his gun-toting granny-drag persona Madea back to the big screen in Madea's Family Reunion, a sequel to the surprise hit Diary of a Mad Black Woman. In addition to being saddled with an unruly foster teen (Keke Palmer, The Wool Cap), Madea has two troubled nieces: Lisa (Rochelle Aytes, White Chicks), who's engaged to an abusive and controlling investment banker (Blair Underwood, Something New); and Vanessa (Lisa Arrindell Anderson, The Second Chance), who can't open herself to the affection of a bus driver/artist (Boris Kodjoe, The Gospel) because of childhood abuse. Wreaking havoc on both of their lives is their mother Victoria (Lynn Whitfield, Eve's Bayou, in delirious wicked witch mode). Like Madea's previous outing, Madea's Family Reunion may induce mental whiplash--the movie zips from a discussion of flatulence to a jazz-backed poetry reading to domestic violence (Underwood, perhaps eager to leave his bland good-guy image behind, is genuinely scary), or from an act of horrific revenge to a staggeringly gaudy wedding. Though schizophrenic and morally questionable (beating an adult women is clearly wrong, but whipping a child with a belt in the name of tough love is apparently good), the movie is definitely unpredictable and never dull. Also featuring Cicely Tyson (Because of Winn-Dixie) and the poet Maya Angelou. --Bret Fetzer |

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! |
