Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns
BLESS THE CHICKENS!!!!
I did that line for my wife. Needless to say if you watch this movie make sure you watch the credits at the end for some hilarious lines including that ones.
What can you say negative about Tyler Perry? This man has one the most successful film characters of all time and the ironic thing about it, she's not featured that much in any of her movies. I'm speaking of course of Madea, played by Tyler Perry himself.
Madea wasn't featured a lot in this movie except for maybe 10 minutes and that was to foreshadow her next movie Madea Goes to Jail. It showed her a little more, but once again Madea wasn't the focus of the movie.
So again what can I say negative about Tyler Perry? Successful? Yes. Movies that mean something? Yes. Overly preachy? No. Follows the play that he made first? No.
Hmm, two nos. Well yes the movie did not follow the play, but you know what, that didn't matter. The movie still showed traditional Tyler Perry wisdom and movies you cried, laughed, wanted to "junk punch (a friend gave me this reference)" a character and all and all want to sit and watch this movie.
The movie shows Brenda Brown (Angela Bassett) trying to survive in Chicago as a single mom with three kids. She finds out she has a family in Georgia after her father whom she never really had contact with passes away. In Georgia with her family she meets up with Mr. Brown (David Mann) and his daughter Cora (Tamela Mann) who they then take to the funeral and in a hilarious dinner scene comes out that she's related to the family.
While this is going on a basketball recruiter (Rich Fox) has not only eyes on her eldest son Michael (Lance Gross) but also on Brenda. Brenda eventually goes back to Chicago and faces more problems, but soon those problems turn all to real. Running back to her family in Georgia she tries to survive the best she can.
Through ups and downs she fights for her family and for single mom's out there this movie gives them hope that even though you're going through hell, you'll always come out on top in the end.
Hilarious moments are always with the Brown family. Also staring Jenifer Lewis, Tyler Perry, and Sofia Vergara this movie is a must watch, especially if like me you're a fan of Tyler Perry and his works.
Rating 4/5 (Some of the songs could've been better...but overall good movie)
