Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Overrated and overhyped

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Spoiler: I watched this movie the other day. The part I didn't like is when Joe was in the car with Leah at the camp. And Joe asked her if she was a minor and she said she was. Then he made a sexual remark. That wasn't cool. Overall this movie was funny, but Madea isn't as funny as Hattie. Hattie cracks me up.

OK, when are people who think Madea is funny going to wake up and see this is just a bad story, writing, directing and acting all in one movie. I would have preferred to watch 10 hours straight of PBS, just so I can get back whatever brain cells were sucked out while having to sit through this debacle. It was not funny!! The actors were one dimensional. The jokes were either sexist or racist. The plot was stupid. Take my advice, stay away from Perry's movies. He has become one of the bloated, bad directors that Hollywood should be ashamed of and they should be ashamed for ever making these types of movies. With so many good choices in steaming, cable and other movies it is hard to believe people would go to this heap of a movie. By the way, the only reason we went is we got free passes and it was still a rip off!!

While the first. Madea boo offered a decent amount of laughs but I found the sequel to be somewhat lacking, while the movie features the return of fan favorites Madea, Joe, bam and Hattie Mae but it Felton like the similar tone of th first despite being the tenth Madea film. Brian's ex wife Deborah makes a return appearance since diary of a mad black woman, but played by a different actress.

So as far as sequels go, this is a very typical one. I went to see Boo 2 because though Tyler Perry movies are not really my thing, I actually enjoined the first Boo, so I took the chance that I would enjoy the second one.I totally did, too. It's not as good as the original. As much as I found the original funny, it also had an attempt to show family values in it that was not lost on me. This time around their attempt (If there was one cause I did not see it) was literally taken out to make more room for laughs. In a lot of ways it made the film like the second episode of one of Perry's shows (Which I like more than his movies), as it seems nobody learned the lesson from the first Madea Halloween.Case in point, like the original, Boo 2 is about Joe trying to discipline his entitled daughter, Tiffany. Once again she defies her overbearing father's wishes in order to go to a party at midnight in the woods at a camp where a bunch of people got murdered. Now I understand the natural urge for a teenager not to want to listen to her dad, but when your aunt is someone like Madea, you would think you would think twice about this woman coming to track you down, especially after what happen in the last movie. Like the last film, Boo 2 focuses on Madea and her friends running into terror and danger while trying to get to Tiffany. The film likes to Parody current themes in horror like with influences of Korean horror and it also pokes a nod to old school Horror with the film taking place at a camp and the underage teens being hunted by a man with a mask and a chainsaw.Overall, I much prefer the more light hearted Tyler Perry movies. Sometimes his stuff can be too over dramatic for me, but I seem to like it when he goes for straight up Sitcom style on us and that's Boo 2!It's crazy and filled with laughs and no matter where it fails compare to the first one, we are there to laugh and that's what makes this sequel enjoyable.http://cinemagardens.com/?p=1756
