Boo! A Madea Halloween

As expected this movie was based on various stereotypes of the black community. After all Tyler Perry's entire career is based on the exploitation of racial stereotypes. While I don't condone that I have to say that the movie was funnier than expected. It definitely had its moments.

As far as I can tell most people watched this movie mainly because one of the protagonists is a famous Youtube personality (Yousef Erakat). I personally am not too fond of his Youtube videos but his acting performance was solid. Gotta give it to him.

Final verdict: Not quite re-watchable but it's a solid comedy.

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"

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.

Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016)

1/2 (out of 4)

Brian (Tyler Perry) can't control or even say no to his 17-year-old daughter Tiffany (Diamond White) so he asks Madea (Perry) to sit with her while he goes out of town. Daddy is worried she will sneak off to a frat party, which she does and of course Madea must follow her.

You have to respect Tyler for what he has accomplished in his career. I will admit that this here was my first Madea movie and I will admit that I hated it. In fact, it was one of the worst comedies that I've ever seen. At the same time, I can respect the fact that this film as well as other Madea movies are quite popular and Tyler at least gives his fans what they want.

With that said, this is without question one of the worst comedies in recent memory. From what I've read this was filmed in six-days, which is rather remarkable for a film made today. What's so bad about this movie is that the screenplay is just so uneven and so unfunny. I mean, the final sequence is basically a bunch of young adults being terrified with rape. Yeah, real funny.

The entire movie was one failed laugh after another and all of it can go back to the screenplay. There are scenes that just drag on for no apparent reason and then there are scenes where the "joke" just gets dragged out to the point where you wish you'd hear someone yell cut. I honestly laughed at maybe two things here and everything else was just so forced and juvenile.

Again, I can respect that this series has its fans but I honestly can't see why. I'm not going to judge the entire series off of one movie but this didn't really make me want to check out others.
