Critic Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - Sofiya Ballin

Oct 21, 2016

It would have been better to nix the drama completely and keep Madea's Halloween outing strictly about the laughs. Read full review

We Got This Covered - Matt Donato

Oct 21, 2016

Tyler Perry never wants to scare you, and I assure you, he never will. Perry DOES want to make you laugh though, succeeding when jokes are bite-size and contained – but most scenes ramble on and on as Madea searches for multiple ways to land the same punchline. Read full review

The New York Times - Glenn Kenny

Oct 21, 2016

The whole thing eventually devolves into the maelstrom of reactionary moralizing that is Mr. Perry’s specialty, not that any informed viewer would have reason to expect otherwise Read full review

Movie Nation - Roger Moore

Oct 20, 2016

Wish it wasn’t so, I still find the character brash and cranky fun. But until Perry parts with a nickel and brings in funny people to goose his ideas into something wittier, Madea isn’t MIA, she’s DOA. Read full review

RogerEbert.com - Odie Henderson

Oct 21, 2016

At 103 minutes, this film has way too much dead weight. Scenes are repeated over and over, and some of the acting would not cut it in a school play. But in the rare moments when Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween is firing on all cylinders, it displays a cleverness which hints that, with more time and a few more iterations of the script, this might have been a good movie. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Jesse Hassenger

Oct 21, 2016

Madea remains a distinctive, weirdly compelling character. Maybe someday Perry will make a good comedy for her. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones

Oct 26, 2016

The film is chockablock with terrible actors (including Tyga, in a bizarro cameo rapping at a frat party), and the jokes he gives his inferior cast to work with are stinkers. Read full review

It wasn't the worst ever, but not close to good. The first half was terrible, I wanted to turn it off at points. The second half was pretty good, but the last 10 minutes were great. The story needed a lot of improvement. They had plot holes, bad jokes, and it was a little confusing. It isn'tIt wasn't the worst ever, but not close to good.

I am a huge Madea fan and have enjoyed her movies (and even her stage shows) throughout the years. However, this feature was a huge disappointment. While the premise probably sounded good on paper (Madea kicks ass at a Halloween fraternity party!!!), the cinematic realization wasn't so good.I am a huge Madea fan and have enjoyed her movies (and even her stage shows) throughout the years. However, this feature was a huge disappointment. While the premise probably sounded good on paper (Madea kicks ass at a Halloween fraternity party!!!), the cinematic realization wasn't so good. With some weariness, I have grown accustomed to the religiosity in Tyler Perry films, but to dampen the fun and frivolity of Halloween with religious speeches and talk of "the Devil's night"....really? Is this a comedy or a Kirk Cameron sermon-piece? Also the movie is just minimally funny. I think you have to be a die-hard Madea fan to think it is more than that. The gags are set up miles in advance and are repeated over and over. There is truly no original joke in the entire film. Old people's bodily functions are not my idea of a good time on Halloween. And shall we discuss the acting? Look, no one goes to a Madea movie to see Oscar-worthy performances, but the actors should be above the standard of a community theater novice improvisation group. No offense to community theater novice improvisation groups. It is just plain terrible. I strongly suggest you wait and watch it online or on On Demand. To paraphrase a line in the movie, don't you be the one to get tricked.… Expand

This is a horrible film. Boo!

Boo! A Madea Halloween is annoying, racist, sexist, promotes violence against children, promotes STEALING from children, makes light of horrifyingly depressing situations, and to cap it all off, Madea, the character who's been guilty of all this, is treated as the moral compass for the supporting characters. The thought of anybody using a character as asinine as Madea as a legitimate moral compass disgusts me to my core.… Expand
