i totally disagree maybe your head is too far up your butt to realize that humor(laughter) next to health is very essential to life if you were a movie critic no good movies would come out.Every story has a plot even horrible ones.So when u watch these type of movie actually watch them they're not meant to hurt but to help he teaches life lessons. Maybe not the most incredible way to tell it but it still gets the point across. And all in all even the most horrible film has something or another great to offer. your mind is in 'dial up' switch to 'broadband' maybe u can see what i see and what others see. So please take this to the bank cash it and buy ever movie Tyler perry has ever made watch them and love them .

It was my distinct displeasure to be subjected to this video and to the more recent but equally bad (and largely undistinguishable) "Madea Goes to Jail" as part of a captive audience on a long-distance bus trip. Under any other circumstances, I would not have spent ten minutes of my life in the same venue as this character. As it was, I was trying to plug my ears. Black man in drag plays loud, intimidating, violent virago—it wasn't funny in 1906, and it isn't funny in 2006. I am baffled and angry that Tyler Perry has resurrected this ugly staple of an unmourned past. There was no plot. The writing was worthy of a seventh-grader. The platitudes were non-stop. And the cues for the sad attempts at original "songs" were so obvious that I almost wept, because I knew that another assault on my ears was coming. The poisoning to death of a neighbor's dog is amusing, so much so that it gets ten minutes (it seemed at least that long) of exposition as a "joke"? Young black girls are prostituted by their own mothers or fathers or both so often that this plot device showed up in two out of two of these videos? When are black people going to stop celebrating violence, stop whooping in delight at the violent punishment of children? When are black people going to stop gyrating in orgiastic delirium at the mere mention of "de Lawd"? And where did black writers/"composers" like Perry get the idea that if you scream it loud enough, you need neither poetry, beauty, harmony, nor symmetry? We don't need violent Aunt Jemimas in 2006, and, if you value your history, your intellect, and your hearing, you don't need "Madea."

Tyler Perry is one of the most imaginative and gifted playwrights today. This play is filled with humor and meaning. I especially like the Christian applications in each one of his plays. The music is co-written by Tyler Perry, and I find it to be very uplifting and inspiring as a Christian. I always sing right along with all of the songs in the play. The cast is comprised of very gifted individuals who can sing as well as act. Mr. Perry also has a knack for taking everyday complicated situations and adapting them for his plays. These are a favorite in my household. These plays are definitely a refreshing vacation from some of the vulgarity and depravity in some of the films you see today.

I believe this is one of the first Tyler Perry Plays. I ordered the four-pack holiday set that Lion Gate Films has released for users who are fans of Tyler Perry and Madea. I finally got a chance to watch it this weekend and I really enjoyed it. It kept me laughing for awhile.The play opens up with Madea and her granddaughter Vianne having a heart to heart about everyday issues such as health, men, love and loss. Throughout the play we see plenty of problems that happen including Vianne's husband suddenly being seen with her own sister, the sister who cannot act like a decent mom to her fourteen year old and finally, Vianne, who is struggling to find love again. With the host of old favorites, such as Cora and Brown, a person who is a big Tyler Perry fan will be sure to enjoy this feature.I found Vianne's story to be compelling and amazing because in the end, she was able to find love again through someone who she originally thought was not her match. Her husband was a complete fool towards her, calling her all sorts of names, but she ignored him because she had a strong faith in God.I definitely recommend this play because there are many life lessons to be learned. Who can forget Madea, the gun-toting, joint smoking, grandmother who is as hilarious as they come. I definitely give this play 10 stars and then some.
