Review of Madea's Family Reunion (2006) by Leigh B — 05 Jan 2008
This movie mixes comedy and serious drama. Tyler Perry plays Madea, the old man, and a serious lawyer in this movie. Madea is a foster mother to a little juvenile delinquent girl and turns the girl around.
There are two lovely sisters in this movie. One is in an abusive relationship and gets revenge at the end of the movie. The other one finds Mr. Right, who is a bus driver, and marries him. Lynn Whitfield plays a wicked woman in another movie.
Jenifer Lewis once again plays a loud mouth leader just like she plays in every movie that she's in. This time, she is a wedding planner. Cicely Tyson once again plays the serious grandmother leader role that she plays in every movie that she's in.
She talks some sense into the family during the family reunion. Maya Angelou also had a cameo. The pouring the grits on abusive Blair Underwood and playing Al Green music was ironic. Al Green's wife poured grits on him.
I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD!
