Review of Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016) by David E — 30 Mar 2017

It had been a while since I've seen a holiday-themed movie in theaters, so I decided to give "Boo! A Madea Halloween" a chance after watching the trailer. Well, the film was the equivalent of a kid getting a granola bar instead of a candy bar: the direction was okay, but the acting was pretty subpar, the jokes weren't as funny as the trailer made them out to be, and the drama (if you will) was so enforced that I thought "Was Tyler Perry even trying to get the point across? Was he even trying at all? I mean, it has valuable lessons, but it's too sudden, especially for a comedy.

" Granted, "Boo! A Madea Halloween" was not so good; it really could've used some work.
