Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Released: 2017 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 6%
Critic Review: "The anarchic buffoonery is where the dust shakes off. A long jittery sequence in which the nervous old-timers drive the woods at night, acting both brave and terrified by turns, might even rank up there with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein." — Liam Lacey, Original Cin

prevnextMadea's Witness Protection
Released: 2012 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 20%

prevnextA Madea Christmas
Released: 2013 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 20%

Released: 2016 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 22%
Critic Review: "Mr. Perry is ... an eccentric, inspired performer, and his screen-filling antics as the raucous but righteous Madea, a character who runs through Mr. Perry's stage, film and TV work - is the truly pertinent component here." — Glenn Kenny, New York Times

prevnextMadea Goes to Jail
Released: 2009 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 28%
Critic Review: "Adapting his own play, Perry has pared the plot way back while giving his law-breaking matriarch more room to run free." — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
prevnextMadea's Big Happy Family
Released: 2011 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 37%
Critic Review: "Perry possesses a superb ear for the themes and emotions that connect him to his core audience, and that's on display again here, though the unconverted might grumble that the movie's many riffs and rants feel recycled from previous offerings." — Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times
prevnextI Can Do Bad All by Myself
Released: 2009 / Rotten Tomatoes Score: 63%
Critic Review: "Tyler Perry's latest crackles with electricity, thanks to heaps of boffo acting talent, high-octane musical interludes, and the most easy-to-root-for electrocution scene since Ernest Goes to Jail." — Shaula Clark, Boston Phoenix
