I cop to laughing out loud numerous times, and I was captivated by Vianne’s big “what’s good for the goose” style speech at the end. If “A Madea Family Funeral” is indeed the final “Hallelu-YUHRR” for Madea, it’s not that shabby an exit. Read full review

A Madea Family Funeral isn’t good, exactly, but it’s Perry good. It combines weaponized comedy and sexualized soap opera in a way that defuses all shame. Read full review

What Perry lacks in filmmaking rigor — like its predecessors, “Family Funeral” is a bit of a mess, formally and technically — he makes up for in generosity. The movie is the usual plateful of low humor and high melodrama, in no particular hurry to make its way through a busy plot. Read full review

Boring characters boringly-played. Read full review

IndieWire - Jude Dry

Rather than going out with a bang, however, the final installment in the franchise hinges its loose plot around the marital infidelities of younger, humorless characters so thinly sketched that it is impossible to care about them. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

The films are inane, sloppy, tone-deaf, moralizing, and have no sense of quality control, but there’s nothing quite like them. Madea, we hardly knew ye… Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck

Perry doesn't even try to successfully integrate the story's comedic and dramatic elements, merely toggling back and forth between them as if in need of mood stabilizers. Read full review

Absolutely hysterical movie. I was rolling after the first 5 mins or so (after that serious, kinda boring intro...) Perry HAS to keep making Madea movies....

LOVED it. As did just about everyone else in my theater. Not sure what the critics were expecting. It's hysterical that Tyler Perry can play 4 characters with such energy and verve. I am supremely bummed that we'll never see the Madea character again, if this truly is the final installment.

I laughed my ass off through most of this. I'd say it's probably the best-written installment since Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Of course, there are serious moments, with a heavy infidelity-focused storyline, but for the most part, it's Madea, Joe, and crew in rare form, yucking it up.I laughed my ass off through most of this.

As much as I love Tyler Perry and his plays, movies, and TV shows, I thought the movie was okay.

It was funny on some parts as you would expect from Tyler but it just seemed like I was not getting enough from the movie. I thought the ending was a little vague, like I guess I was expecting it to be an explosive ending because it is supposed to be his last movie. I hope Tyler does bring Madea back because she is funny and has a good word for real life situations.… Expand
