Madea's Big Happy Family movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: If he's moving on from Madea, and "For Colored girls" and his next couple of announced projects suggest he is, at least Perry's doing right by the old broad, letting her bow out like one big, wise-cracking mother of a momma. Read more
A.A. Dowd, Time Out: Epitomizing the shrill franchise's schizophrenic tonal shifts, Madea metes out Christian life lessons with one hand -- and righteously bitch-slaps with the other. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Alas, Madea's Big Happy Family is defined by a dearth of plausible human behavior; everything is pitched to jarring emotional extremes of good and evil, joy and pain, chitlin'-circuit broad comedy, and melodramatic speeches. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: "Madea's Big Happy Family'' nonsensically knots the spiritual and the salacious, asking gossipy questions then giving pulpit answers so that the movie is wonderfully, woefully absurd. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Reader: Like most of Perry's movies, this one oscillates wildly and shamelessly between raunch and pathos, leaving plenty of room for the performers to work. The lively ensemble includes a scene-stealing Cassi Davis as pothead Aunt Bam. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Now that I've stated what feels like the inevitable complaint about Terry Perry's tendency toward overly shrill, broad bombast, let me say: While I was watching Madea's Big Happy Family, I couldn't deny that it plays. Read more
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: Tyler Perry's signature character returns to kick more butt in this raucous comedy. Read more
Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times: Perry possesses a superb ear for the themes and emotions that connect him to his core audience, and that's on display again here, though the unconverted might grumble that the movie's many riffs and rants feel recycled from previous offerings. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: [Perry has] recycled the same material so many times, it's starting to turn rancid. Read more
Andy Webster, New York Times: "Family" offers Mr. Perry's signature ingredients: multiple subplots; a Southern setting; and broad comedy, florid melodrama and inspirational Christianity, tossed together with an almost slapdash elan. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: If Perry gets on your wavelength, you can forgive him too. He's only the host at a home-cooked banquet of wild emotions. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: The title is meant to be ironic. Too bad irony is in such short supply in Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family. Sadly, subtlety is also missing. Read more
