Reading this article reminded me of why it took me years to find solace in the Almighty. Way too serious! I have been watching Tyler Perry since his debut and I think his plays are better than his movies. Actually the theatrical was way different from the movie. The whole point is that Perry uses different ways to get his message across and to review the film based on Christian values is a bit much. The film was not for that purpose. He's entertaining and teaching and he's doing it by using what is taboo to make his points. Lighten up a bit.

I reluctantly watched all of this movie (with other Christian friends), and the only thing I liked about it was the serious parts. I had never watched any "Madea" videos, and don't think I will ever again. I wasn't laughing at the cross dresser who mocked God, and I didn't find it funny that she/he was beating up on the police and shooting uninvited guests with a machine gun (I don't find senseless violence funny).

I thought all of the actors in the serious side of the video were very professional and did a great job portraying their characters; the message of redemption came through in that aspect. Although it was a very serious plot throughout the movie, and that needed a little humor added, I think they should have made 2 separate movies.

Ok. This is borderline ridiculous. This is the second review that I have read that people are pretty much bashing this movie (though this one is not as hard as the other one) Here you have a man that is making movies that are HEAVILY Christian based, and the people in his own community, the "Christian" community, are not even accepting him. What other movie can you go to and hear scripture and Christian themes, in a positive light. The Madea character is in the movie as a comic relief. She acts a fool and it's funny. And even at that, there are times when she gets serious and she speaks things that biblical, like when she was in jail and they were talking about forgiveness. And it's beyond me why language is brought up in such a negative light. There are no "F" words or any extreme language. If this is salty language, then i'm not sure how we can describe the rest of the the entertainment world. In all actuality, I have heard worse on TV. Daytime TV. I just think that we really need to support our Christian people out there, because there are not very many that are willing to sacrifice viewers because they aren't afraid to say Jesus to the masses. In their music or in their movies or what have you. I'm not saying that we need not talk about the bad in things, because honestly, this may not be the best movie for children to see, but it can really bless a teenage and up audience, so I do applaud the writer for saying that. We just really need to support our Christians! And I'm saying this because if I did not know about the author and had not ever heard of the movie, from the review, this isn't a movie I would go see. So even if you have to say something negative, come back with some more positive things. Please please please please please! Support fellow Christians! We have to build one another, not tear each other down!

Why even watch this movie? Come on now. You seem to be, in this review, saying that this movie in some way has "redemptive" value? Are you for real? You do review movies, which allows you a pass I guess, for a "Christian" website, right? Well, you should then use, as a measuring stick, the cross and the work of the one who hung on it in your reviews. And that is all I have to say about that.

Thank you for catching this error! A correction has been made and cited in the review.

I follow all of Tyler Perry's works and own all of his dvds and book.

I just want to point out that Cora is Madea's daughter, Mr. Brown is Cora's father who had been a neighbor of Madea's since high school.
