We have a $4 morning show on the weekends (before 12pm) and I am telling you those shows were PACKED to capacity. I thought I was really doing something catching that show but we are in a recession so...ya know?<BR/><BR/>I am a supporter of black film period, writers, actors, etc. You know, what would have been good was to see Candy cleaned up and approached that shiesty lawyer as a drug free professional and take her ass down (without the fighting). It was ok though.Diamond~Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301138869047152647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-49840114347937378092009-03-04T10:31:00.000-06:002009-03-04T10:31:00.000-06:00I havent seen it yet but I commend him because he ...I havent seen it yet but I commend him because he is growing as a writer and director. He has definitely evolved from the low budget plays that used to tour from city to city. I dont think that creatively he should be confined to one type of content to put out. Yeah Madea is a stereotypical character but I would rather see her then the stupid chicks that frequent flavor of love and for the love of ray j. They are the ones that are tainting the image of black people and not Madea. Madea ultimately has a message among the madness.. What is the message coming from how black are represented on television everyday.Eb the Celebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920888116302185562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-32809482073392873162009-02-28T08:20:00.000-06:002009-02-28T08:20:00.000-06:00I also went to see this movie with some loved ones...I also went to see this movie with some loved ones who think Madea is awesome and I agree with your conclusion.<BR/><BR/>This would have been a decent movie minus Madea and the Browns. (This is also true for the movie he did with Angela Bassett, btw.) The Prostitute/lawyer storyline was much more compelling.<BR/><BR/>And I was constantly being jarred between the over-the-top comedy followed by the tear-jerking dramatic scenes. It was too much.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I agree that his movies a really predictable and formulaic (other than the two you mentioned)but apparently he does a lot of good in inner-city Atlanta, which is good for the black community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-33100285075209845302009-02-27T20:36:00.000-06:002009-02-27T20:36:00.000-06:001UP1UPA Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214334761822320212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-49816531083098601682009-02-27T08:52:00.000-06:002009-02-27T08:52:00.000-06:00i cant belive people would go to see buffoneryi cant belive people would go to see buffoneryAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-69090078540373906722009-02-26T16:45:00.000-06:002009-02-26T16:45:00.000-06:00I can see what people are saying about the "cooner...I can see what people are saying about the "coonery", but I can't totally buy that because I knew/know women like MaDea. I odn't think the whole of his movies are as stereotypical as you do, but IMO they generally tend to be on the sucky side because of the lack of development. He needs to stretch out more...bring it to the next level. Leave these damn plays alone and come up with some new, fresh material. I don't really want to see MaDea Goes To Jail because I have no interest in seeing anything, but the comedy that is MaDea. I could do without the other storyline, especially since I figured he wasn't gonna mesh them together well anyway.ChiChihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725652726392364966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094020429182911981.post-75985705750550873072009-02-26T16:27:00.000-06:002009-02-26T16:27:00.000-06:00I kinda felt like ole Tyler got me for my paper on...I kinda felt like ole Tyler got me for my paper on this one.

However, he is building a business and although both "Why did I get Married?" and "Family thay Preys" had way better storylines and characters, they didn't make as much money at the box office. Madea, on the other hand did. Since that's what people are paying to see, he's going to continue to do it.<BR/><BR/>Now, "Madea" is not why I'm a fan. Black sitcoms have dwindled away and Tyler Perry is bringing back the black family to T.V. and he's giving more black actors/actresses chances to show their talent and break in the business. I think his intentions are good, it probably could have been done in a better way, but I admire his effort and his struggle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
