Boo! A Madea Halloween

Imagine Big mommas house as a multi vehicle traffic accident, involving a clown, some extras from the walking dead.

Story synopsis (dont worry no spoilers):

A car driven by a stupid writer, careers into the path of a lorry loaded with out of date unoriginal material. The ensuing commotion is truly unremarkable and easily forgettable.

This is one of those films that sounds funny (ish) when you try to tell others about it. But, in reality, is just cheesy stupidness.

It actually looks vaguely familiar, a sort of de ja vu experience. Then you realize that much of it, is rip off of other (and much better) films.

If your feeling suicidal, go see this. You may conclude that perhaps your life is not actually that bad after all.

First of all, I would like to announce I'm a HUGE Madea fan ever since I watched the first one and have watched all of them.

There were certainly good elements in this Madea but the movie lost my attention at times. Some scenes were way too long - first thing you learn as a screenwriter is not to write a scene that's over 3 minutes, especially not at the beginning, or you may lose your viewers. Some parts of the dialogue were redundant.

Some of the Actors are not actual actors but Youtube sensations. Their acting was not the most convincing. It's hard to be over-the-top character-style (like Tyler Perry does with Madea) but still be believable. It also take talent to be natural and not over-the-top when needed. Acting is an Art and takes lots of training. Some may believe the number of followers is more important to the success of a project than actual talent, I would have to disagree on that one.

This Madea is not one of the Madea's I would watch again. In the end, it could have been better.

I still love Madea and will keep going and being a big fan. And I can't wait for the next one.

PS. Bloopers after credits come up are funny. If you go, make sure you stay until the end.

So, usually I avoid these movies like the black plague, but from the poster and the trailer, something told me this was going to be worth the ticket price, and I was right.

A Madea Halloween is hilarious in it's stupidity, and you can't help but to laugh at it. Madea's nephew (both played by writer director and producer Tyler Perry) ask her to watch his daughter, Tiffany, in order to keep her from leaving the house to go to a Halloween frat party, but Tiffany like a rebellious teenage girl sneaks out of the house anyway. Bad for her, cause Madea is definitely not the family member a teenage girl wants tracking her down.

Tyler Perry tends to make movies that speak to a certain movie watcher, and I fully admit, with A Madea Halloween, I was totally listening to everything he had to say. It was like a good stand up comedian telling a joke that makes you laugh out loud because it's so true. Believe you me, I'm no hater, but I'm the not the biggest fan of Tyler Perry either, but he got me with this one. I just could not help but to relate and it made me just push out my laughter uncontrollably at moments.

A Medea Halloween is not going to win any awards and it's not even trying. It's just trying to be stupid, and it succeeds greatly creating a hilarious movie that reminds me of a Holiday special you would see on TV, that's perfect for this time of season, with just the right style of camp that makes it in the so bad it's good category, perfect for a comedy with horror elements.

It's a whole lot of fun.

This latest installment in the madea movie franchise is filled to the brim with hilarious comedic writing, complete with some oh h**l no's and bust yo *** up being dropped about every minute. If you enjoyed the other madea films, then you will surely love this one! I have only seen one other madea movie other than this one. Don't feel like you must see the others in order to like this one, each madea movie stands on its own. This Halloween one really will tickle your funny bone, the dialouge is just perfect, and the jokes are timed and written so well, the audience was rolling in laughter throughout. Now don't think that this is a family oriented/appropriate film, because it's not. There is consistent mild cursing, which just adds so much more to the comedic value of this and all the madea films, that has become a norm in this franchise of movies. If you are a pre teen, teenager or adult, then I would for sure recommend Madea Halloween to you. If you're looking for some funny simple escapism, then buy a ticket! 7/10.

By 2016, Movie Fans had the opportunity to see the mad black woman known as Madea put her unique personal stamp on, among other situations, a family reunion, jail, a witness protection program and Christmas. But how will she make it through a wild and wacky Halloween? "Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween" (PG-13, 1:43) answers that question in typical Madea fashion – her way! Actor, producer, director, screenwriter, playwright, author, and songwriter Tyler Perry's most famous and enduring character is rough around the edges, but the old lady is just being herself – and doing what she thinks is right. Mabel "Madea" Simmons gets through life the best she can, no matter what anyone else thinks about her, and she's going make the people around her act right – with insults and by force, if necessary.

Madea (Perry) is the aunt of Atlanta attorney Brian Simmons (also played by Perry), who is newly divorced and has his hands full with his rebellious and disrespectful 17-year-old daughter, Tiffany (Diamond White). Tiffany's friends (Bella Thorne and Lexy Panterra) are planning to go to a nearby college fraternity's Halloween party and Tiffany wants to sneak out of the house to join them, along with her reluctant friend, Aday (Liza Koshy), who is sleeping over. Brian gets wind of the plan, but he has to go out of town, so he bribes Madea to spend the night in his house to make sure the girls stay out of trouble. Madea shows up at Brian's with her cantankerous brother (Brian's dad), Joe (Perry again), her marijuana-smoking cousin, Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis), and their meek friend, Hattie (Patrice Lovely).

Tiffany comes up with a plan to outsmart "the old people" (as she derisively refers to them) and sneak away to go to the party. Madea soon realizes that Tiffany and Aday are gone, so she gathers her posse (except for Joe, who decides to hold down the fort) and crashes the party looking for the two girls. She doesn't find them, but manages to ruin the party. The president of the frat (Yousef Erakat) wants to get even, but you have to get out of your coffin pretty early in the morning to fool Madea, and there's a scary price to pay for even trying. Besides the theme of the party, the Halloween angle comes in with Aunt Bam stealing candy from trick-or-treaters and various characters taking advantage of the spooky nature of the holiday to formulate their plans to fool others and get what they want out of the evening.

"Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween" is a typically silly and fun Madea adventure… with some life lessons thrown in. Madea and her contemporaries are exaggerated stereotypes, not to be taken seriously, which gives the audience permission to just sit back, relax and enjoy the on-screen antics. Perry's script contains a few good jokes, but most of the humor comes from his direction and the actors' performances – namely, the way the characters speak and act towards each other – and the Halloween backdrop gives everyone plenty to work with. Brian is a loving and earnest, but ineffective dad, until the directness of Madea and her crew helps him see things a little differently. It all makes for another enjoyable Madea outing that stands on its own merits. "B"
