Ĭast: Tyler Perry, Eugene Levy, Denise Richards, Doris Roberts, Romeo Miller, Tom Arnold, John Amos, Marla Gibbs, Danielle Campbell, Devan Leos. Production: Lionsgate, Tyler Perry Studios. The surprise won’t be spoiled here, other than to say that he doesn’t appear to be “winning.” Speaking of familiar faces, another one shows up in the obligatory end-credits outtakes. Others will enjoy the antics of the ever-reliable Levy - who spends most of the film in a state of amusing semi-hysteria - and the presence of such familiar faces as Roberts, John Amos and Tom Arnold.
Still, any criticism seems useless, as Perry’s loyal legions of fans likely will eat it all up. And as usual, the proceedings are interminably stretched out, in this case to a snail-paced 114 minutes.Įven such potentially amusing comic set pieces as when Madea goes through airport security, with predictably chaotic results, feel awfully half-hearted. Maintaining a consistent tone has never been one of the filmmaker’s strengths, but this effort - veering wildly from broad comedy to sensitive drama - feels even more ungainly than most. Her principal foil is the rebellious daughter, whom she not-so-hilariously teaches a life lesson by falsely telling her that her family has been killed. Other than an early scene in which Madea violently takes an armed carjacker to task, the oversized matron is largely restrained this time around.
Needless to say, culture clash ensues, with the uptight family - including George’s trophy wife ( Denise Richards), his spoiled teen children ( Danielle Campbell, Devan Leos) and his dementia-addled mother ( Doris Roberts, in a fright wig) - quickly set straight by their no-nonsense hostess. The hapless George Needleman ( Eugene Levy) is in danger of being rubbed out for his cooperation with the authorities, so federal agent Brian (Perry, playing it straight) decides to squirrel him and his family away in what he laughably sees as the most inconspicuous place possible - the Atlanta home of his irascible Aunt Madea (also Perry) and his crotchety father Brian (Perry, yet again), in an all-black neighborhood.
