Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming movie review (2022)
Boo Boo the Idiot is right here to let you know that I can’t blame Perry for taking all that Netflix cash to stroll again his assertion. Because the saying goes, don’t hate the participant, hate the sport. I can, nevertheless, blame the writer-director-producer-star for as soon as once more failing to have interaction with the extra absurd concepts and meaner parts of humor he sprinkles all through his screenplays. There’s all the time a irritating degree of imbalance in Perry’s movies, the place fascinating throwaway jokes and ideas get quick shrift whereas the drained, always repeated tropes are leaned on for what looks like an eternity. And he’s hooked on pushing the 2-hour runtime mark when he ought to get the whole lot completed in a lean 80 minutes.
There may be one factor right here that’s new. Whereas Perry has dabbled on the earth of R-rated cinema earlier than, “A Madea Homecoming” is the primary of the Madea films to earn that score. Or quite, it earns the TV-MA score. Netflix missed an enormous alternative to throw up a warning that stated it was rated TV-MA-DEA, however they do inform us that the score is for language. “Lastly!” I stated, “Madea’s gonna say the F-word!” Certain sufficient, earlier than the opening credit are over, she says “this motherf—er is definitely on hearth!” The MFer in query is recurring character Mr. Brown (David Mann), who mimics Eddie Murphy’s uncle Gus in “Delirious” by setting himself ablaze after squirting quite a few bottles of lighter fluid (and a few gasoline) on the barbecue grill.
Mr. Brown is establishing the barbecue to honor Madea’s great-grandson, Tim (Brandon Black), who’s graduating on the prime of his college class. He’s coming dwelling with Davi (Isha Blaaker), his biracial roommate. We first meet them of their automobile. Davi ominously alludes to an enormous secret Tim wants to inform his household. As quickly as resident troublemaker Uncle Joe (Tyler Perry) sees them sitting on the sofa subsequent to one another, he makes a snide remark about what that secret could be. “Your Uncle Peaches had a roommate for forty years,” he says. In the meantime, our resident sexy previous girl, Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis), flirts with the astonishingly stunning Davi, providing him issues that may solely be stated in a TV-MA rated film. “It received’t do you no good,” says Joe.
