Madea's Family Reunion (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

Tyler Perry, Lynn Whitfield, Lisa Arrindell Anderson|Theatrical release: 2006 | Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Tyler Perry follows up his DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN with more of his unique fusion of soapy melodrama, poetry, spirituality, romance, and raucous humor based on his popular stage play. This time around, the drama centers on a pair of half-sisters struggling to overcome the oppression of their materialistic mother (Lynn Whitfield). Weak-willed daughter Lisa (Rochelle Ayetes) is being pushed into marriage with an abusive investment banker (Blair Underwood), while Vanessa (Lisa Arrindell Anderson) is unable to trust the love of too-good-to-be-true Brian (Boris Kadjoe). It may be a bit jarring at first to veer from harrowing scenes of domestic abuse to hilarious scenes of Tyler in his dual role as the tough-talking grandma Madea (here also raising a troubled foster kid) and her flatulent brother Joe, but it works, especially when Cicely Tyson and poet Maya Angelou show up as old relatives at the reunion; their powerful presence provides the weight to anchor everything down. Hearing Tyson pour her heart out while addressing the young people at the reunion from the porch of an old slave shack--Angelou at her side--is an unforgettably moving experience. This is the work of a daringly original comedian and filmmaker; fearlessly confrontational and generous of heart (without being corny), MADEA is three kinds of great: gut-bustingly funny, socially progressive, and genuinely inspiring.

Madea's Family Reunion Is Good, but not Tyler's best

Created: 14/07/09
I love Tyler Perry's Madea character. Madea is a tough cookie with a heart of gold, who doesn't let anyone take advantage of her. She tells it like it is. All of Perry's movies with Madea have a hard line story (in this case, a double-theme of an abusive man and a mother who has let her daughters be abused to further her own interests), as well as another story of Christian redemption (good, hardworking, Christian, young black man meets a woman with trust issues and wins her over). This is probably the weakest in the series. Diary of a Mad Black Woman is good, and Madea goes to jail is excellent. Still, the Madea story-line was very heart warming in this movie. The judge makes Madea take in a foster child in order to avoid going to jail. In true Madea fashion, she takes the girl under her wing and builds the girl's self-confidence. All in all, a good movie. Who can resist Madea?

Big Fan

Created: 05/10/06
I am a big fan of Tyler Perry. I saw this at this show and I loved it. Madea's Family Reunion was excellent. Great messages for all. Characters were geat everyone played their part to the utmost. Blair Underwood never ceases to amaze me with the roles he can play. I loved Boris Kudjoe's role. Everyone women wishes God would send them a man like him. It's was just a great movie. I was pleased with the condition and especially for the money I saved. I am glad to add this to my collection.

Thank you!

Madea's Family Reunion

Created: 22/03/07
I'd already seen this movie and fell in love with it. It's a terrific family movie for us, as my kids are teens. It teaches great value about family, as well as other realtionships. But most importantly at the center of all of it is God. Not shoved down your throat, but still there right in the middle. All wrapped up with Tyle Perry's humor. And boy is it ever funny. My whole family, along with everyone we've shared it with has really enjoy this movie. I highly recommend it, along with "Diary of a Mad Black Woman", another
"Madea" movie.
