Madea's Family Reunion (2006): Dir: Tyler Perry / Cast: Tyler Perry, Lynn Whitfield, Rochelle Aytes, Lisa Arrindell Anderson, Blair Underwood: Sequel to Diary of a Mad Black Woman where a family unites under the ruling of one peculiar grandmother. Strong subplots including a mother who is charmed by a bus driver who has a son of his own. She is unable to accept his love due too her mother's dominating nature. Her sister is her mother's favourite but she held within an abusive relationship with the man she is suppose to marry. Tyler Perry not only directs this film but he also handles many other areas including portraying Madea. With convincing makeup he has created Madea into a show of force with comic payoff. Unfortunately she is involved in an unnecessary subplot regarding a teenager put in her care. In supporting roles is Lynn Whitfield as Victoria, forceful mother who reveals the source of her behaviour and the consequences that accompany it. Rochelle Aytes plays her daughter forced into an abusive relationship and encouraged to regain her dignity. Lisa Arrindell Anderson plays the other daughter whose relationship with the bus driver is predictable but nonetheless charming. Blair Underwood also makes an appearance amongst the chaos. Themes regard relationships and family issues resulting in a family reunion well worth attending. Score: 9 / 10

I'm not a big fan of Tyler Perry's movies but I've been trying to watch all of the Madea films. I rented this on itunes for 99 cents and it was worth it. Although this movie was funny at some parts the drama was just boring I thought but thats just tyler perry i guess. Keke Palmer and Madea were funny in this movie. The acting was mediocre. But whats with all the low ratings for all of Perrys films one of them has like a 3.9 and it was that bad.Some people on the message boards says it racism and people are jealous too maybe and I agree with some of it. Anyways if you like comedy and drama then you'll love Madeas Family Reunion

This is like one of my favorite movies that Tyler Perry has made.The lighting in this movie was very well perfected.I think that every scene was put in order and in the perfect place for this movie. Didn't have any boring scene in this movie.It had all kinds of mindsets in it.The actors were good at what they do.Didn't have a whole bunch of singing like most of his movies and plays have.My favorite part was when Madea and the girl, and Bryan was in the car; and Madea was like little girl if you pop that gum one more time!! If was really funny because before she hit the girl, the girl hair was sticking up but after the hit her hair was laying down!! This was my favorite movie out of all his movies he made!!!

Having grown up in the rural south, I am well schooled when it comes to home grown Christmas trees and the run of the mill cedar tree. But, I'm afraid all that working knowledge of sap couldn't have prepared me for "Medea's Family Reunion." Those of you who are diabetic, I would avoid this sickeningly sweet melodrama at all costs.My one hope is the girls hanging from the ceiling during the over the top wedding scene towards the end were well paid for the hours they must have been dangling there. Is that a spoiler? Oh, lord...let me spoil it further....Let's see...we have molestation, family dysfunction, marrying rich, domestic violence, overbearing mothers, and a saccharine soliloquy from Cycelie Tyson to-boot. Oh, and let's not forget the beat the crap out of the child for laughs angle. Honestly, does any one edit films anymore? "Madea's Family Reunion" is like the worst soap opera, after school special, public service announcement, and bad Flip Wilson homage rolled into one. Tyler Perry made the mistake of directing his own script. Of course, one could argue that his sitting down to write it might have been his first offense.If you want to see Tyler Perry do bad drag and think it's funny, I'd say watch this film. If you want to see every emotion in hyperbole acted out on the screen in front of you, and if you still have the wherewithal to endure it, watch this film. If you're looking for anything of substance, outside of a Judge Maybelline cameo, I'd look elsewhere.
