Critics Consensus

Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion is sincere in its positive intentions, but leaves something to be desired as a film.

3/5

Nothing that happens seems the least bit believable, and everything is brash and loud. All that's missing is the laugh track.

Perry's vaudevillian shamelessness and indifference to committee-approved taste are energizing and frequently jaw-dropping.

1.5/4

At times it feels as if Perry made three separate films, dumped them in a blender and hit the puree button.

Simple yet effective, funny yet meaningful.

Tyler Perry means well, but there is no denying that all of this would work far better on daytime television.

5/10

The dysfunctional script and operatically excessive direction ... land someplace closer to outsider art than bad moviedom.

Madea’s Family Reunion teaches us what family means and while madea brings the comedic relief the story is heartfelt and real. partner abuse and family abuse is very real in the real world and was executed in a way only perry can

One critic said nothing that happened in the movie was at least believable and I think everything that happened was absolutely believable. These are stories we see and hear of everyday woven into one hilariously entertaining big one. I've watched the movie at least 16 times over the years and it's still as good as the first.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

This is one of the first 'Madea'- titled films, and boy, does it show. This is a pure soap opera - filled to the brim with soap opera-level acting, soap opera-level drama, and soap opera-level plot devices. It is awful and I would never recommend to anyone. With that being said, I am very glad to have seen it. Oh, and the 'Reunion' that Tyler speaks of (in the title of the film!) finally comes about at 1 hour 10 in. And the wedding was tacky as hell. Finally, is everyone too stupid to notice that the kids walking down the aisle are not the kids of the bride and groom? Earlier, we are introduced to their kids. The woman has one boy and one girl. The man has one boy. When we get to the wedding, the kids walking down the aisle are one boy and two girls. Who in the hell is so stupid as to screw that up?

Madea's Family Reunion demonstrates what a family reunion should be and what people should take from it. This movie shows families being forced, broken, created, built and many more. This movie shows a mother's capability of controlling her daughters life leaving the daughter in a difficult circumstance but afraid to fight for herself. This movie shows a child in foster system well off to the wrong path being transformed from love and lessons.
