DVD Reviews of Madea's Family Reunion (Full Screen Edition)DVD Review: Madea's Family Reunion Summary: 5 StarsTyler's Movie should be a wake up call to persons in abusive relationship. It is time women stand up and walk away from that kind of behaviour
DVD Review: This movie was awesome!! Summary: 5 StarsI really liked this movie. I thought that this film was very funny with a good moral.
DVD Review: One of.... Summary: 5 StarsThis is one of my favorite movies of all time. Tyler Perry is so talented. He doesn't bite his tongue and shows America the situations that people face everyday, he puts them in his movies. Can't wait to see his future releases!!!!
DVD Review: Funny bits, but... Summary: 3 StarsMany friends of mine are NUTS for Tyler Perry movies so I thought I would try one. These are just my thoughts, don't come at me with a bunch of anger ya'll it's a free country.
The good:
1:"Madea" is HILARIOUS and steals every scene "she" is in...(other than the one where she beats the foster kid with the belt)
2:Boris Kadjoe is one tall drink of water, nuff said.
The not-so-good:
1: The scalding grits/frying pan "payback" scene felt really weird and wrong. (and did anybody pick up on the use of the Al Green song right at that moment? Wasn't Al Green actually involved in a horrible scalding grits incident in real life?) Just weird.
2:Why are there no gay characters, don't most families have gay members? It's really shameful that with his huge following and power that Tyler can't go there and at least throw in a few supporting gay characters and maybe educate a few people.(inasmuch as this kind of film can) And isn't Tyler gay to begin with?
3:Unbelievably melodramatic. The "drama" part of the movie was like one big overdone episode of Young and the Restless. I know 1000 people that love it but I just think it's way overdone.
4: The "angels" hanging above during the wedding scene. Enough said. (kind of goes with # 3 really)
Yes I know people are passionate about any and every thing Tyler, and hey good for ya'll keep on keepin on. I think if they would up the Madea quotient and lower the cheezy drama, it would be a lot better. Peace.
DVD Review: Medea's Family Reunion Summary: 4 StarsThis is my favorite Tyler Perry film. The characters of Medea and dirty old Uncle Joe provide a perfect foil for the positive message about family. I'm glad to see that Tyler Perry has made the mainstream with "Medea Goes to Jail," but this one has been the least satisfying for me; it kind of goes over the top for me. But "Medea's Family Reunion" showcases Tyler best for me and carries a powerful message, thanks to Cicely Tyson.
Description of Madea's Family Reunion (Full Screen Edition)Tyler Perry's acclaimed stage production Madea's Family Reunion continues the adventures of southern matriarch Madea. She has just been court ordered to be in charge of Nikki a rebellious runaway; her nieces Lisa and Vanessa are suffering relationship trouble and through it all she has to organize her family reunion.As the reunion approaches secrets are revealed and tensions rise. Madea must use every tactic in her arsenal to not only keep the peace but also keep her family together.System Requirements:Running Time: 110 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?031398193289 Manufacturer No:?19328 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
