So as far as sequels go, this is a very typical one. I went to see Boo 2 because though Tyler Perry movies are not really my thing, I actually enjoined the first Boo, so I took the chance that I would enjoy the second one.

I totally did, too. It's not as good as the original. As much as I found the original funny, it also had an attempt to show family values in it that was not lost on me. This time around their attempt (If there was one cause I did not see it) was literally taken out to make more room for laughs. In a lot of ways it made the film like the second episode of one of Perry's shows (Which I like more than his movies), as it seems nobody learned the lesson from the first Madea Halloween.

Case in point, like the original, Boo 2 is about Joe trying to discipline his entitled daughter, Tiffany. Once again she defies her overbearing father's wishes in order to go to a party at midnight in the woods at a camp where a bunch of people got murdered. Now I understand the natural urge for a teenager not to want to listen to her dad, but when your aunt is someone like Madea, you would think you would think twice about this woman coming to track you down, especially after what happen in the last movie.

Like the last film, Boo 2 focuses on Madea and her friends running into terror and danger while trying to get to Tiffany. The film likes to Parody current themes in horror like with influences of Korean horror and it also pokes a nod to old school Horror with the film taking place at a camp and the underage teens being hunted by a man with a mask and a chainsaw.

Overall, I much prefer the more light hearted Tyler Perry movies. Sometimes his stuff can be too over dramatic for me, but I seem to like it when he goes for straight up Sitcom style on us and that's Boo 2!

It's crazy and filled with laughs and no matter where it fails compare to the first one, we are there to laugh and that's what makes this sequel enjoyable.

It's alright if you're looking for something mindless to watch. If Madea and Bam could be a bigger focus, that's be great. If Tyler Perry didn't appear as himself, that'd be great. If they could get some decent actors, that'd be great.

First let me say that I love the Madea of old. The last few films have really started to become obscene and have lost any sense of morality they once had. Not only is this film not funny it's torturous to sit through. Tyler Perry has traded quality and morals for a quick buck and cheap obscene attempts at laughter. Don't waste your time on this crap. Re-watch one of the earlier films when Madea was still funny and endering.

This was a terrible movie. I tried to hang in till the end because I am a Tyler Perry fan, but I abandon ship less than 1/2 mark. Just plain bad acting, boring, distasteful jokes, not the slightest bit funny. So disappointing.

I don't see how he can keep making so many boring films! I can't sit through an entire tyler Perry movie he has enough money to make a really good film but he keeps putting forgettable actors in them...

Hellur! Tyler Perry's signature character has made her mark for so many years, teaching lessons in her own unique manner. These movies have come in all sorts of scenarios, many being close carbon copies of the predecessors that laid the foundation. This series continues to rope loyal fans into the theater though, never tiring of the gimmicks cooked up at Perry Studios. Tonight, the sequel to Madea's Halloween tale emerges, in hopes of mimicking the success it brought not long ago. What's the verdict? Robbie K, here asking you to read on to find out his opinions.

LIKES:

Familiarity: When it comes to Madea, you don't expect much deviation from the formula, a comforting factor indeed. Perry's writing doesn't try to be anything it's not, and that nets some respect in bringing the laughs that make so many laugh. And if you're a fan of this series, you'll have nothing to fear in regards to the comedy at hand (as evidenced by many people howling with laughter in my showing.)

Plenty of Madea: Some Madea movies don't do give the mad lady her adequate screen time, choosing instead to go for a more drama (soap opera like) plot. Boo 2 is more than happy to give you a Madea fix, with much of the 100-minute run time staying on our "protagonist." She leads much of the banter, and her insults are more than enough to keep things engaging alongside her older colleagues. So, for a movie promising Madea, this film delivers on this aspect as well.

Fast Pace: Another positive for Boo 2 is that the movie doesn't dawdle when it comes to getting to the laughs. A small, simplistic opening makes way to the comedy at hand, taking less than 20 minutes to get to the first bout of Madea running her mouth. Once that first joke flies, the movie continues at a steady pace and creating the effect of time flying (seriously had no idea an hour had passed). This leads to an entertaining environment that is simply fun on many levels, that's right no complicated thinking in this film.

Joe: By far the best part of the movie for me is Madea's brother Joe. While his sexually harsh jokes, lack of respect for others, and intense focus on drugs are not my main source of humor, this character has some of the best comedic moments of the movie. His timing is well- executed, and his lines are just harsh enough to offset the bickering this movie holds within. The piece de resistance though, is how well Perry delivers that gruff edge in his humor to maximize the punch of the line and keep the laughs fresh. I found myself laughing the most with his scenes and was glad to see more Joe in this film.

DISLIKES:

Unoriginal: Familiarity is fun and entertaining, but it is also lacking the original twist I like to see in the films. Every Madea film has a slight twist to it, but this film is too much a copy of the first Halloween movie that the tactics are fairly stale. Had it not been for the comedic timing at some parts of the movie, the bantering would have gotten much staler as the old folks complained about the same things consistently. This dislike also goes to the fact that Madea's jokes are losing favor with me, especially when they drop the morals for incoherent babbling and arguing.

The College Kids: If you read my last Madea review, you know the college kids didn't impress me. Sadly, this movie managed to make me loathe these characters even more. Rather than giving the younger characters some admirable qualities, outside of superficial looks, Perry crafted them to be the same, shallow, annoying selves they were in the past, only much worse. The fraternity brother are even hornier, stupid meatheads with little contribution to the movie. Leah (Lexy Panterra) is reduced to a squabbling airhead, who does little, but flash off her own body with overacted gestures and a skin-tight leopard shirt. Yet, the worst character goes to Tiffany (Diamond White) the arrogant brat who supposedly learned her lesson last time. After all the punishing blows, the hotheaded teen hasn't learned a thing and has fallen back into the same annoying qualities I despised in the first film. What's even more pathetic, is that they don't use her selfishness very well to drive a moral filled plot, but just as a tool for more jokes. Sadly, this movie doesn't give the satisfying punch that its predecessor accomplished.

No story: Boo 2's other major dislike for me is that lack of a story. It's true, the movie runs at a quick pace and is entertaining, but the trailers have tricked you into thinking there is a story. This particular Madea story is the lamest story of the bunch, with only a hair thin plot to ground the comedy too. Past this skeletal frame, the movie is only about cramming the most jokes into the run time, which also took away from the Madea formula.

The VERDICT:

Boo 2 is a sequel that accomplishes the goal of making you laugh with the same familiar tactics Perry has capitalized on for the last decade. It's simple fun, fast paced humor will keep fans howling in delight, while also welcoming a new age in with its simplicity. Yet, I found this movie to be the weakest of the installments, particularly due to the unbalanced characters and lack of story to guide the mischief better. Safe to say this movie is meant for home viewing pleasure where you can enjoy the banter and insults with better snacks and bathroom privileges.

My scores:

Comedy/Horror: 7.0 Movie Overall: 5.0

Unlike the first one at least there are less "social media celebrities" in this one. But lord! They still can't act! I noticed one that was atrocious in the first one was in this one but had no speaking lines (smart!)

If this man would just come out the closet already, then it would all make sense! He clearly Hires these types of guys for his shows and movies cuz he secretly desires them. Forget about the fact that they have absolutely ZERO acting talent! Here's a word of advise mr. Perry, I'm not a ditzy teenager, I'm not watching your movies to see hot men! I'm watching to see quality acting and a story that makes some sort it sense!

(sent from my Iphone3) Good day Madea fans! I am writing this review from my seat in the theater, having just watched BOO2 3 times. Let me say this, this movie is a keeper! Don't let those snoozy reviews throw you off! You have to see this movie! From the opening credits to the last sound, this movie will keep you on edge. That Madea cat is something else and I have to say, my BOO2 Tshirt, just ordered from Amazoon.com, is inbound as of yesterday! OK, back to the movie. BOO2 will keep you "howling" throughout, and if you are looking to be tricked? Have no "fear" as this movie is a treat! Get your popcorn, treat it with some hot saux, and sit back and relax. You will not be disappointed. BOO2 is not a "Boo Hoo."

This "film" grossed $48.3 million and that says a lot about society.

I don't understand how someone in their right mind can enjoy this "film" and rate more than 1 star.

Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017) is the tenth entry in the Madea Cinematic Universe, the sequel to Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016), it was once again written and directed by Tyler Perry and it is easily the worst entry in the entire Madea franchise.

Positives for Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017): My one positive is that Tyler Perry fans are going to have a great time watching this movie.

Negatives for Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017): This movie is yet another horrendous excuse for Tyler Perry to wear drag and annoy me for over 100 minutes. You have this subplot where Brian has to deal with his daughter as she is a legal adult at the age of 18 and his ex-wife comes back to do stuff that isn't important because Tyler Perry isn't good at doing dramatic storytelling. There is this legend of these killers who weren't captured and now they are ghosts except they aren't because it was just a Scooby-Doo prank set up by Brian and Tito Ortiz to scare their daughters at a Halloween party with the same frat house boys from the last movie. Madea, Joe, Bam and Hattie are just being annoying with their voices while doing stuff that doesn't matter. The humor is still absolutely cringe worthy and the horror elements are still not scary. And finally, the ending with the chainsaw guy and Joe planning to do stuff to other people is just atrocious.

Overall, Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017) is the worst entry in the Madea Cinematic Universe and the worst movie written and directed by Tyler Perry which isn't saying much because Tyler Perry has proven to everyone that he isn't a good filmmakers.

Some of the worst jokes, most boring scenes and just plain bad movie structure ive seen. Ive watched thousands and thousands of tv shows and movies and ive never been this shocked by how bad something was.

I gave it a shot because it was on netflix and made it about half before I realized that not only had I not laughed yet, but that i had no idea what was going on. Mostly because I didnt care enough to be attempting to follow whatever mess Tyler Perry had made this time. This is a hard pass unless your a big fan of his movies, and maybe even then it still isnt very good.

Ok, so i enjoyed the first Boo! Madea movie, but this sequel is just flat out bad. It has the worst problems that a comedy can have. This movie suffers from being criminally unfunny. I had lots of fun with the first one because it was actually funny, this one is NOT. I think I laughed like twice, and it wasn't hard laughs, just mild chuckles. I couldn't laugh hard because the material here is just bland. I really hate that this sequel is like this, because it could've been on par with the first or maybe even funnier. I think they just wanted to churn out a sequel really quickly since the first Boo movie did well. Ok so not only is this movie unfunny, but it's also badly put together. Some of the camera angles are kinda sketchy sometimes, and that's confusing since Perry has done so many films by now. Also, what I found extremely strange was some dubbing. It's like they thought they couldn't say damn or s**t sometimes, because they would (badly) dub the characters. Their mouths would obviously be saying the real word, but it would come out darn or crap, they do know those words are allowed in a PG-13 movie right?? And it's only sometimes, i don't know it's really weird. Kind of reminded me of when you see a movie edited for TV. Overall, this movie is just a dull unfunny sequel that could've been funny if they would've tried. 2/10.

Welcome to the most lazy and offensive $25 million production in recent memory. Where else can you find a rejoiced elderly pedophile with a sewer drain for a mouth, and a monolithic 10 plus minute static blocked shot-reserve-shot improv session in every scene.

This film is truly at odds with its audience. Flaunting its privilege with needlessly racy innuendos and genuinely vomit-worthy rape praise. The central conflict revolves around a recently of-age daughter trying to attend a frat party on a secluded lake.

Tiffany has just turned 18, and she's hungry for wasted college guys. Her plans last year were foiled by her pesky little ID, but today she scuttles to a stop in front of the frat house in her brand new Mini. Flaunting her driver's license and school uniform, she immediately has caricature males contorting their horny faces.

With separated parents, Tiffany has diverse avenues to get what she wants. Her father still thinks petting zoos are applicable birthday fanfare, whereas her mother does not even bat an eye at twilight tent hookups. Both are irresponsibly dense, and impossibly unbelievable. The comedy sketch mentality never stops, but it is also never funny.

The narrative only exists to shovel cheap twists into your expressionless face. Every decision has been made contrary to logic, and the result is a film that is brutally contrived and anti- humorous. Any surviving laughs are instantaneously slaughtered by some form of crude and medieval sexual deviance. A truly poisonous direction for the family-centric series, a deceptive turn that deserves no forgiveness.

More than half way through and still waiting to laugh. What happened Tyler Perry?

Was the worst Tyler Perry movie ever. I really don't recomend using money to view this film. Tyler Perry is a great actor, and producer. But Boo 2 is not his greatest work.

OK, when are people who think Madea is funny going to wake up and see this is just a bad story, writing, directing and acting all in one movie. I would have preferred to watch 10 hours straight of PBS, just so I can get back whatever brain cells were sucked out while having to sit through this debacle. It was not funny!! The actors were one dimensional. The jokes were either sexist or racist. The plot was stupid. Take my advice, stay away from Perry's movies. He has become one of the bloated, bad directors that Hollywood should be ashamed of and they should be ashamed for ever making these types of movies. With so many good choices in steaming, cable and other movies it is hard to believe people would go to this heap of a movie. By the way, the only reason we went is we got free passes and it was still a rip off!!

Ten films in, it's pretty much assumed by now that the Madea series has shaken off any audiences who don't already want to be on its coattails. Those in the theater with me wanted to be there and damn all those who, like myself, would snap-judge Madea and her posse of octogenarian clowns. Screw those who poo-poo the series for being painfully unfunny, offensively trashy, unendingly annoying, obnoxiously time consuming, woefully amateurish and elementally lacking in the basic necessities of competent storytelling. For even if you think all these things, you still must admit, if nothing else, Tyler Perry's wildly successful, cheaply made, broadly drawn comedy series has legs that just won't quit.

So for a change, I'll dispense with the usual five minute set. I won't complain about how unfunny this particular film is as claiming so can be waived off by someone else managing a slight chuckle. I won't complain about the disjointed, obvious and boooooring narrative which chugs along like Madea's Cadillac on a flat tire. Heck, I won't even talk about how every time a Madea flick comes out, seeing the crowd makes me question human behavior to the extent that I feel like the proverbial next door neighbor saying, "He was so very nice – no idea what could have gone wrong." Instead I'd like to focus all my attention (and vitriol) on Tyler Perry's apparent lack of respect for his audience; a lack of respect that, more than ever feels gross and mean-spirited. Before watching Boo 2, I ascribed to the same school of thought as Demetria Lucas D'Oyley when she wrote for The Root, "He has a lane. He drives in it." The appeal of his characters and his outsized media persona is one of broad stroke buffoonery and simple-world proselytizing but at least he's found his fans and they've found him. Marriage made in heaven with the same level of intensity as Insane Clown Posse and their Juggolos.

Yet by the time the film drops its first plot point, it becomes clear the love is all one-sided. Nearly everything of substance from the first film has been erased; the lessons, the character dynamics, the film's very continuity all heavily favoring a hard reboot where nothing about Boo 1! (2016) actually mattered. The movie then strips out all of the forced religiosity save for a few God d**ns which, for better or worse, made Madea part of a certain audiences' normal media diet.

Lacking a plot at all capable of filling in the one and a half hour run time and all that's left to pad this largely melted s**t sundae is Perry mugging for the camera as one of three insufferable characters. This wouldn't be such a problem for fans accustomed to the constant barrage of b***hing and nagging. But most of what is said are quite literally rewrites of the same tired jokes we've heard in Witness Protection (2012), Big Happy Family (2011) and for that matter, the first Boo! There's even the reoccurring "she's really a dude" gag that's repeated not once, not twice but three bloody times! I'd say it's lazy but given how absurdly repetitive this all is, I was half expecting Sacha Baron Cohen to come popping out of that dress saying, "gotcha!" All this and add to it Perry's obviously censored d**ns, f**ks and s**ts and you got yourself a movie that is daring longtime fans to abandon Perry's media empire built on lazy, terrible stereotypes. And what's left when all that bilious smoke has cleared? A quickie cash grab haphazardly assembled with no interest in delivering the minimum, let alone a worthwhile product. Comparatively this thing is somewhere between Madea Goes to Jail (2009) and one of Tyler Perry's bowel movements after one too many Arby's Beef 'N Cheddars. And that my friends, is about as objectively critical as one can be without screaming at the box office numbers and questioning whether there is a God.

Firstest of all DA haters can just get shook off. #shakeemoff

Tyler Perry is both DA funniest man and woman simultaneously in dis film y'all.

I was luffing so hard i almost choked on mu popcorn yo but also dis movie is also Hakka scurry yo, Dem jump scares had me like "oh snap" but Madea handled DAT stuff, yo go girl and den also you give it up to DA jay man in the sky #blessesed

i hope they make 8 mo sequels because dis was tight. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr.Perry this is the fan base you appeal to, At very least this is what you imagine the mindset of your audience to be.

Your films are modern day minstrel shows and as Madea you personify every negative stereotype that exists in black culture. Nothing about what you do or say is even remotely funny.

I wonder on occasion if through the piles of cash and the turbid veil of Hollywood, If you take the time to look at yourself in the mirror before you inevitably shuck and jive your way through another film.
