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

Nothing that happens seems the least bit believable, and everything is brash and loud. All that's missing is the laugh track. Mar 10, 2006 | Rating: 3/5

Perry's vaudevillian shamelessness and indifference to committee-approved taste are energizing and frequently jaw-dropping. Mar 7, 2006

At times it feels as if Perry made three separate films, dumped them in a blender and hit the puree button. Mar 3, 2006 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Let's not sell Tyler Perry short. As the vinegar-witted Madea, he's a drag performer of testy charm, but in his overlit patchwork way he's also making the most primal women's pictures since Joan Crawford flexed her shoulder pads. Mar 1, 2006 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Though Perry's films are hard to defend on aesthetic grounds -- the crazy shifts in tone from operatic melodrama to broad comedy could cause seizures -- it's equally hard to begrudge the underserved audiences who embrace them so passionately. Feb 28, 2006 | Rating: C

Tyler Perry means well, but there is no denying that all of this would work far better on daytime television. Nov 14, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The dysfunctional script and operatically excessive direction ... land someplace closer to outsider art than bad moviedom. Jan 24, 2012 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

All the while Madea's wit, which is refreshing on the stage, feels spurious and often misfires. Jun 21, 2008 | Rating: 1/5

If there's one thing that Reunion doesn't lack, it's good intentions. Unfortunately, good intentions don't automatically guarantee a good movie. Mar 1, 2007 | Full Review…

Although his work isn't high art and is occasionally problematic, he's telling stories that aren't often told. And for that, this black woman can't be too mad at him. Nov 1, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
