Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

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. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Too long and its tone is disconcertingly uneven, but Perry never betrays or condescends to his characters. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Perry's soap opera story lines are awful, with their nobly suffering sistas, gorgeous do-right men, and shamelessly materialistic dream endings. But the movie's message of gospel joy and racial pride couldn't be more sincere, and Perry gives an impeccable comic performance as the title character. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Madea's Family Reunion represents an advance on Diary, if only because it dials down Madea's shtick (she no longer waves a gun around) and irons out some of those awkward tonal transitions. The chance that Perry's followers will leave disappointed is approximately 0 percent. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Perry is a playwright, and his dialogue here is usually entertaining. Read full review

Marc Savlov

When you've got Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson in the kitchen, laying on the sophomoric laughs is just plain stupid. Read full review

Jennie Punter

What ends up on screen is confused storytelling that tries to solve too many social and family problems, sends mixed messages and, even worse, makes you laugh during parts when it's trying to be dead serious. Read full review

Give credit to Tyler Perry for not glamorizing drug dealing, criminal activities, selfish actions and the like. Tyler Perry advocates practical Christian and family values, and it ends up making a masterpiece! I love this movie as well as every other Tyler Perry films! Of course as expectedGive credit to Tyler Perry for not glamorizing drug dealing, criminal activities, selfish actions and the like. Tyler Perry advocates practical Christian and family values, and it ends up making a masterpiece! I love this movie as well as every other Tyler Perry films! Of course as expected critics underestimate ANOTHER great movie by Tyler Perry. Of course people will rate this movie low because they're JEALOUS that Tyler Perry is so wealthy and succesfull! Remember jealousy is a sin!!!...… Expand

Tyker Perry addressed issues that are prevalant to African American families. He let his characters mature. Spoon fed his audience wisdom.

This film falls somewhat short of Diary..., however, Madea is always entertaining and I would have preferred to see more of Madea. Blair Underwood did a great job playing the villian as did the Lynn Whitfield. Cicely Tyson was awesome.

Tyler Perry is probably the Antichrist. That being said it's a better film than Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
