Alien at the Movies

A Madea Homecoming

Madea (Tyler Perry) is back as this dysfunctional family gathers to celebrate Madea’s great-grandson’s high school graduation. Producer/writer/director/star/co-star Perry applies his usual sense of humor to his popular Madea franchise with sexual innuendoes, bathroom humor, blackness jokes, unintentional drug use & misunderstandings. Now, the Madea family characters clash in a crossover with the Irish sitcom “Mrs. Brown’s Boys” characters. There lots of family tension & drama as hidden secrets are revealed & tempers flare. In the end, Madea’s matriarchal advice saves the day. Look for a Beyoncé/Mary J. Blige style music video tribute during the credits.

Alien gives it 2½ “pistol & shotgun” stars out of 4.
