Tyler Perry’s character, Madea, has appeared in I believe ten movies. If you don’t know who Madea is, I highly doubt you’ll be buying a ticket to Tyler Perry’s latest chapter in her life.
Here’s a quick catch up, Tyler Perry portrays Madea Simmons, a seventy-ish black woman who has buried nine husbands. One of her more famous lines is “I need that insurance check by five, gotta be at the casino by nine”
Her resume includes stripping, pole dancing and professional wrestling. But let’s not forget check fraud, identity theft, attempted murder and vehicle theft to name just a a few. But let’s not get too heavy, because this is a comedy. And let’s clear this up right away. The funeral is question is not Madea’s, but a cheating relative, who died of a heart attack while partaking in a little S & M with a female family friend at a nearby hotel. FYI, before I forget the dead guy’s son is in the adjourning room, having a quickie with his brother’s fiancée. I will give you a minute to digest.
And the dead guy is really rude because he ruined the surprise wedding anniversary party thrown by his children and extended family, Madea and crew included. Lots of one liners thrown around “You aren’t family, you’re an in-law., you married into us” ‘Death will make you dead” “His hoe smells like his bro” “Hotel? These hoes don’t tell” Only Tyler Perry could get away with portraying Madea and her family the way he does.
There is nothing new here, the traffic stop scene was way to drawn out (he was trying to make a point, we get it). If you liked the previous Madea movies you’ll like this one.
A Madea Family Funeral is rated C minus. Don’t feel bad if you don’t see this movie at the theatre, rent one of the previous Madea movies from Red Box, different characters, same laughs.
