A Madea Christmas (Video 2011)

A Madea Christmas: Directed by Tyler Perry. With Michael Burton, Zuri Craig, Chandra Currelley-Young, Ashley Tamar Davis. When a family meets for Christmas at their posh Cape Cod estate, family arguments and secrets cause a stir. It takes a real down-to-earth family – like Aunt Bam and the almighty Madea – to save this holiday.

“I am a Tyler Perry fan and have purchased some of his movies. I was really looking forward to a Christmas movie with Madea but was I ever disappointed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWARNING: This is a play not a movie and it has a fake lifeless feel. The play starts with the characters each standing in the room of a house and singing a Christmas carol. This lousy singing was my first clue that this movie was going to be a bust. No talent there. And it just gets worse. I turned the movie off after 20 minutes. It was going nowhere and the acting was lacklustre and seemed forced. The live audience seemed to see humour in the dialogue; maybe Iu0026#39;m missing something but the movie had me cringing instead of laughing. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat happened Tyler Perry?! This play is not up to your usual calibre. Donu0026#39;t waste our time and money on this one.”
