DVD Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

Tyler Perry never disappoints. It's funny but true. Human nature is the same no matter the race, color, creed.

DVD Review: Pretty Awful
Summary: 1 Stars

This movie/play is the perfect union of fire and brimstone Christianity and escapist capitalism. The atheist gets AIDS and then gets fired, while the hard working maid becomes the new owner of the hotel where the story takes place. To celebrate, she buys fancy shoes that she can barely walk in. Then, after two hours of "trust in Jesus," Tyler Perry comes out (as himself) to give a 1-800 number so that you can buy more stuff from him. At first I thought it was a joke--a satire of advertising/infomercials that target religious people and the black community. Alas, no.

If you like gospel music, there is some nice singing here but the accompanying music is pretty much all terrible synthesizers. There are a couple genuinely funny moments and several seemingly endless, very unfunny scenes where Perry makes pointless references to pop culture. Why does he impersonate Hannibal Lecter? Why? Also, Perry fails to make good on the premise of the play--going to a class reunion. There isn't really ever a reunion. It should have been called "Madea Hangs out at a Hotel for a Day."

Perry has been lauded for his integrity, but this piece STUNK and was often sexist. The play represents some real issues, but offers no nuances or insights. Just cliche after cliche (don't give up, don't give in, etc.). Not recommended.

DVD Review: timelyty
Summary: 5 Stars

Madea does not need a review she speaks for herself.!! Tyler Perry you are a genius and a God-send. Keep me laughing when I feel like crying.

Description of Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion

Mabel "Madea" Simmons has decided to "go on head an go" to her 50th Class Reunion

Those who discovered Tyler Perry through leftfield box office hit Diary of a Mad Black Woman may be surprised by Madea's Class Reunion. Sure, there are similarities, but this Perry production is a filmed musical rather than a feature film. The storyline concerns several African-American characters of different ages, all staying at the same hotel while dealing with a variety of problems, like infidelity, domestic abuse, and lack of faith. Writer/director Perry plays two of them--shiftless bellhop/bartender Willy and gun-toting granny Mabel "Madea" Simmons, who is also featured in Diary. Interestingly, Madea, his best-known creation, doesn't actually hit the scene until act two (almost 40 minutes into the play). Also, Perry doesn't sing, but a number of strong vocalists, including Perry regular David Mann (Brown), tackle the gospel-style musical numbers with gusto. Madea's Class Reunion was taped live at Detroit's Fox Theater on September 13th, 2003 (Perry's 34th birthday). --Kathleen C. Fennessy
