Tyler Perry has become a billionaire making silly films that people love to watch, especially blacks. "A Madea Family Funeral" is exactly what you expect if you have seen the other Madea movies.
Love, drama, anger, it's all here. BUT, there is a very important undertone to Madea movies that I think gets overlooked....Tyler Perry is making a statement about real life....for both blacks & whites.
This movie has some very important statements if you take the time to look past the corniness. The differences between the old and young characters is stark, the overreaction of death with the 10-hour long funeral, Brian (Tyler Perry) getting pulled over by the crazy white cop and the perfect ending to the film. All of these were statements by Tyler Perry.
The theater was packed and I was just about the only white person in the theater, many people laughed loudly during the film....I don't remember laughing at all but I still enjoyed it. Especially the beautiful young black females that were in the film....just beautiful.
It's time for Madea to retire.....and I believe the last scene stated that perfectly.
