Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kira Kent Now, if you see the case for this, it reads comedy 100%, it sounds like it's going to be a whacky fun romp. It is not. This movie is a drama, first and foremost. It does not advertise itself as such, if it had, I probably would never have watched it. But it's not even a good drama. And for a movie titled "Madea's Family reunion", it really doesn't show much of that reunion. It takes up about five minutes of the whole two hour movie. The comedy is not funny. It is forced. Some of it is juvenile. There are distasteful fart jokes in the middle of this dramatic web of family troubles.This movie contains abuse by a man, condoned by the mother of the victim, but then plays beating a child for laughs. This movie contains a woman in fear of a relationship with a man because of a very traumatic past experience her mother put her through, her horrible mother who does not seem to get any punishment in the end. There are many unnecessary characters and subplots, and Madea, the title character, is hardly even in the movie. Then it just decends into some kind of cliched romance. People sing at one point for some reason? It gets a bit muddy. I would not reccommend it.
rising_phoenix-60658 I LOVE Tylor Perry's make on his movies, what he tries to gift humanity with morality and values, starting at the home front where families deal with issues TOGETHER, through care and LOVE. It conveys the deeper message that we don't have to love a person 100% (perfect) . If they're a bit messed up and we can only love the 40% good they give, then that love still has the power to move a family through RESTORATION. This movie brought up all sorts of feelings and made it a truly enjoyable time to watch. This is what real families do, they work together. I was born & placed in foster homes, adopted and lived in an extended family that knew nothing about this sort of love. In every family there will always be a story, it will be based on CONDITIONS (as mine was) or on strength and COURAGE. Family is what we make it to be, ideally its our strongest foundation. The reason I didn't give this a 10 is because some of it seems 'repeat' from his other move - Diary of a Mad Black Woman, another excellent movie of his.
SeaSoak-online I have read many of the comments about Madea's Family Reunion. I think too many of the respondents are white people who don't give a hoot for African Americans. It's just too bad, because we are not going anywhere and will continue to contribute greatly to how this country operates. Isn't it funny how one will denigrate the achievements of others simply because they have a prejudice against them? What this country needs is more acceptance and tolerance of others.Mr. Perry's work is absolutely fabulous! He doesn't hide our foibles. Foibles can't be changed until first they are acknowledged.As for the quality of Mr. Perry's film, Madea's Family Reunion, I thought it was well done, well written, with superb casting, acting and singing.Mr. Perry, please keep making your wonderful films, plays, and television shows. I find them very enjoyable.Peace and blessings to you and yours.
madhouse_kc i would like to start by saying; going to movies was originally made so you could escape reality, that's why star wars and lord of the rings where such hits; if i need to identify with reality, there's reality TV i am hoping that one day a black man would make a movie so intriguing, mind boggling and mentally challenging that it would sell across all races. All i see in black movies is a myopic view of life, for godsake we have Korean's making a visually artistic movie called "D-War" i believe that our talents don't end with sports, singing, Sit-coms (no offense to friends) stand up comedy; we need to be more creative, explore the outer limits of life. i feel a guy like John Singleton could put together a water tight script that would hit the nail in the head.
