Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion Movie Review

An unstoppable force of nature, southern matriarch Madea may have finally taken on more than she can chew. 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 keep her family together.

As the title implies, Madea’s Family Reunion is all about relationship—the good, the bad, the ugly and the funny.

“Domestic violence, incest and greed are some of the issues that boil over in this sweet and sour comedy that adheres to theatrical guidelines that are seldom politically correct.”

– Cole Smithey, COLESMITHEY.COM

“That’s the most offensive thing about Madea: the way it pretends to deal with difficult problems — child abuse, rape, spousal abuse — and then offers simplistic answers.”

– Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
