For years, mild-mannered Wall Street banker George Needleman has meandered through life oblivious to his family's dysfunction and his company's malfeasance, but he's forced to wake up when he learns that he's been framed in a mob-backed Ponzi scheme. Placed under federal protection, George and his family are shipped down South to Madea's house, where the no-nonsense matriarch whips them all into shape using her special brand of tough love.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
petarmatic The only reason I write review for this film is because I now write review for each film I watch. Since I have to fill 10 lines, I want to say that bloopers were possibly the most interesting part of the film. I really would not recommend anyone to watch this film, since it is not worth the money. Someone said it is better to buy a can of paint and paint your room and let it watch dry.I thought the Hollywood could not make bad movies any more, but this one is. There was that ultimate failure in Hollywood called Ed Wood who simply could not do films. Well, that is it. Although film about Ed Wood is excellent, Ed Wood was not.
almeidapm This is another Tyler Perry movie that follows his best known character, Madea.It is a typical Madea/Tyler Perry movie, but unlike some of his others movies in this one Madea is the main character and not just one of the characters in the story.The movie has some funny moments, but is not as good as some of other Tyler Perry movies that he has done in the past. I am sure there are fans of his that will enjoy this movie, but i would rather watch one of his movies where Madea's character is just in the background and there is a solid plot to the movie, this movie looks like it was put together over a weekend vacation.
wilson trivino This time the stuff hit the fan as George Needleman is caught up in an unsuspecting scandal. He needs a place to chill and regain his footing which leads him to the casa of Medea (Tyler Perry) There George and his family discover that family is all you need when times get a bit rough around the edges. Being from Atlanta, it is exciting to see several of the local landmarks. Around the Georgia State Campus at the school of business and the walk way along the Georgia World Congress Center new addition has been transformed to an airport. This movie is also fitting as old stars come to shine where Tom Arnold, John Amos, and Doris Roberts to name a few make an appearance.
Brownsbros3 I think most critics are too hard on Tyler Perry's films. Granted this wasn't the perfect film, but I still found more good than bad in it. There were some casting issues that have to be questioned. Do we really believe that someone that looks like Denise Richards would have the slightest interest in someone that looks like Eugene Levy? Madea was hilarious. Some folks have a problem because the character is based on ethnic stereotypes, but to me that is what makes the character funny, because she is an exaggeration of those stereotypes. It kind of reminds me of Blazing Saddles, which I didn't know until recently was co-written by Richard Pryor. Some folks just take themselves way too seriously.Madea putting the verbal smack-down on Cindy was great. I also like that they didn't load the film up with F-bombs like a large number of films these days do. The bit with Madea taking the bellboys $20 tip back, and giving him only 50 cents was a riot. The outtakes during the credits are even funnier than the movie.The drawbacks are that they do have some gags that are not funny. Eugene Levy plays pretty much the same character he always does. There is also a weird storyline between Madea's brother and the grandmother for the white family played by Doris Roberts, who sports her old Archie Bunker's Place hairdo in the film.
