Rated PG-13
Starring Tyler Perry, Larry the Cable Guy, Chad Michael Murray, Tika Sumpter
Written and Directed by Tyler Perry
The Story:
Madea (Perry) has to drive a friends to visit her daughter for Christmas. In the town, they want to hold a Christmas celebration, but money is tight. Of course, in a web of lies, it's only a matter of time until all of the truths are revealed.
It is a similar Tyler Perry formula of hiding secrets from family and revelations at the end.
Wrapped up in a Christmas formula with the inclusion of Madea, you've got the makings of a comedy instead of a drama.
Adding Larry the Cable Guy actually brings more humor to the story and things actually pick up once his character arrives.
Of course, when you follow the formula, you know that a happy ending is destined to happen, but that's okay.
This ending fits well, and is satisfying.
If you've enjoyed the other Madea movies, you should have no problems with this one either.
Final Grade: C/C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: This could be one to revisit next year, or down the road. We'll see.
