    Let's not sell Tyler Perry short. As the vinegar-witted Madea, he's a drag performer of testy charm, but in his overlit patchwork way he's also making the most primal women's pictures since Joan Crawford flexed her shoulder pads.

    Perry's vaudevillian shamelessness and indifference to committee-approved taste are energizing and frequently jaw-dropping.

    Too bad the story is so predictable and the big wedding scene, in which women dressed as angels dangle from the church ceiling strumming harps, is cornier than an Orville Redenbacher factory.

    I laughed a lot, had some good points made on moral issues. Hated the scene where the abused fiancee threw grits on to be husband, could be a bit more creative and not so predictable. The wedding scene did not inspired me to say the least.… Expand

    A cornucopia of cloudy themes, overstated stereotypes/clichés', morally questionable retaliations, unrealistic sequences (e.g., having a million-dollar wedding without a license or an official pronouncement of marriage), the most blatant sexual harassment of a teenaged girl, etceteras. Other than that, a light comedic event, I suppose! Oh, don't the police/EMT normally come when someone is scalded in the face with hot grits and repeatedly pummeled by a cast-iron frying pan? ... normally the assaulter (under whatever circumstances) does not get to head off to a wedding! Okay, I can't stop there -- if your mother prostituted you out when you were a kid (and you were clearly of an age to remember it) and then basically "robbed" your sister blind (not to mention telling her to take her "beat downs" like there ain't nothing to it), would you call the authorities or gently give her a peck on the cheek when she tells you that you and your man, "make a beautiful couple" after your tremendously lavished (yet free) wedding?!!!… Expand
