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.
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.

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....
Report
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.

If writer-director-star Tyler Perry makes good on his threat to make A Madea Family Funeral the final film featuring his larger-than-life comedic heroine, then Madea will going out with a whimper and not with a bang, even by Perry standards.
Boring characters boringly-played.
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…
You could fault A Madea Family Funeral for its many other shortcomings. It runs about 30 minutes too long; the tempo of the numerous dramatic scenes is on par with drying paint; characters lack consistency from scene to scene; the dialogue sounds like a first draft that needs major editing; its occasional technical sloppiness; and so forth.
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.
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. Sure, it's not high art, but certainly not deserving of the critical pans it has garnered.
Report
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.

Tyler Perry started his Madea movies in 1999 and they were wholesome family movies. However, his Madea Halloween and Madea Family Funeral was the worst. Both of his last movies included Madea, her brother, her sister and aunt all in the living room, going on and on with sexual talk and innuendos for at least 30 minutes of the movie. Also the Madea Funeral was all about sexual affairs with in the family unit. Even the mother, the day after her unfaithful husband dies, runs off with a man she met the night before....Very disturbing. I am actually grateful that Tyler Perry is not going to make anymore Madea movies. I am so disappointed that Tyler Perry felt he needed to go in that direction in order to continue making his fortune.
