MOVIE TITLE: A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL
RATING: PG-13
LENGTH: 1 hour 49 minutes
Movie Review Mom GRADE: D for really dumb
IN A NUTSHELL: Audiences seemed to enjoy this final installment in the Madea franchise, although critics hated it. A funeral, I suppose, is the perfect setting to kill off this Tyler Perry series. The raunchy, abusive humor is not my cup of tea, which is why I gave it such a low score, but I know that there are a lot of Madea fans out there who will really enjoy this final send-off.
TIPS FOR PARENTS:
- This movie was originally rated R, but then edited to be PG-13. A lot of the content is still Rated R, in my opinion.
- Lots of crude jokes, bullying, threats
- Profanity, 1 F-bomb, and the “N-word”
- Talk of drugs.
- Pre-marital hanky panky.
- People don’t take responsibility for their actions
- People are disrespectful to each other.
- Lots of cleavage
- Infidelity in and out of marriage
- Lots of dishonesty
THEMES:
- “You can’t choose your family. Family is all you got.” – Madea (Tyler Perry)
- “Where there is injustice, you have to fight.” – Joe (Tyler Perry)
- Infidelity will get you in trouble. Ummm…duh.
THINGS I LIKED:
- The best part of this franchise is Tyler Perry. He always plays a host of characters in these movies, including Madea, Joe, Brian, and Heathrow. Heathrow is a new character who got the most laughs from the audience. It made me laugh every time Madea would suddenly use her “man” voice at the end of a sentence.
- The audience howled with laughter when they saw the Mike Tyson cameo performance.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:
- Almost all of the characters act and look like cartoon characters. I didn’t like most of them.
- I can’t stand the constant bickering and smacking.
- Disrespectful talk of the police and encouragement to break the law.
- I didn’t like KJ Smith’s bossy, eye-rolling character (Carol).
- The film was shot in less than a week. Quite a few critics say that it shows.
FUNNY LINES:
* “You know, in the animal kingdom, some species have both sexes.” – Brian (as he pointed to Madea)
