Really Surprised!

It is a performances centric movie

Great Film overall

Brilliant and touching

People that watch these movies and find them funny and/or amusing are seriously lacking either a: intelligence, b: something else worthwhile to do with their time, c: a smart sense of humor, or d: all of the above. "D" is the most obvious answer to that rhetorical question. These movies are at their very best dumb and idiotic. A friend of mine (whom I had previously thought had good sense), extolled the virtues of all of the Madea movies tried to get me to watch a part of one of them and I made up a lie so that I could leave and spare myself more torture. These movies are horrible and an insult to all movie-watchers. Don't waste your time. It's hard to believe that there is a ridiculous number of these movies that continue to flood the theatres and that people actually spend money on these stupid films. The cinematic content of the Madea movies is only contributing to the dumbing-down of the American public. If I could give these films a negative ten stars, I would.

What a wonderful movie! The cast was great! The gorgeous and talented Lisa arrindell Anderson did phenomenal as Vanessa. Rochelle Aytes did a pretty good job at playing a physically abused wife to be. Blair underwood and Lynn Whitfield were wonderful at being the devils of the movie. I loved the wedding and the family reunion. I liked that Madea was more *calm* in this film, compared to DOAMBW( diary of a mad black woman.) Henry Simmons' and Tangi Miller's characters could've been a little more exaggerated. This movie had great acting, was well written and showed a lot of what goes on in real life. I can't wait to see what Tyler has next!

Can anyone tell me where I can find the song that plays on the opening menu of the DVD for this movie? I like smooth jazz music and i have not been able to locate this song. If anyone knows, please send email to my screen name dmack18@hotmail.com. put Madea song in the subject line so i will recognize it. I think this was a great movie, it really gets down to what is wrong with families, society, and marriages. Many families have lost touch with their roots. the family structure today has changed drastically over the years. this movie addresses a lot of issues that are important if we as a people are to take back our families and our children.

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.
