Her age isn\u2019t specified (I\u2019d say she\u2019s in her mid-70s), but whatever it is she\u2019s that many years young. She has a sneaky-dog irascibility that won\u2019t quit. And Tyler Perry can\u2019t quit her. He had hinted that \u201cA Madea Family Funeral,\u201d in 2019, might be the last Madea outing. But the pandemic changed his mind. I say that with or without it, Perry would have returned to Madea, because she\u2019s more than his greatest hit \u2014 she\u2019s his unleashed id, the character he\u2019s addicted to playing because she expresses so many of his angels and demons.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, she\u2019s also an eternal crowd-pleaser. The first Tyler Perry movie, \u201cDiary of a Mad Black Woman\u201d (which included an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance by Madea), was released 17 years ago today. At the time, he\u2019d already been doing Madea onstage for years. But Madea, as a character, has now attained the status of folklore. I\u2019ve seen and reviewed nearly all of Perry\u2019s films, and if you asked me if I\u2019m a Perry fan, I\u2019d say \u201con and off,\u201d by which I don\u2019t mean that I like some of his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> and dislike others. I mean that in almost all his comedy\/soap-opera mashups, there are moments I love and others that leave me shaking my head with an okay-he-didn\u2019t-just-do-that disbelief. That\u2019s the Tyler Perry mix: the good, the bad, and the ugly, the sincere and the outrageous, the clever and the amateur, the diabolical and the banal, all rolled up in a big goodbye hug of a \u201cLove yourself!\u201d message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Madea Homecoming,\u201d the first Perry film to be released on Netflix, is based on Perry\u2019s 2020 stage work \u201cMadea\u2019s Farewell Play,\u201d so I went in expecting it to be a relatively restrained affair. Actually, it\u2019s the fastest, funniest \u201cMadea\u201d movie in quite some time. Remember when Eddie Murphy played half a dozen family members in \u201cNutty Professor II: The Klumps\u201d? Whenever Perry plays Madea along with at least one of her kin, he shares Murphy\u2019s spirit of cussed, ribald, let-it-rip brashness. But Perry has his own inimitable style of old folks with smart mouths.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cA Madea Homecoming,\u201d Madea, the pious and not-so-secretly anarchic church lady in her gray hair and gaudy flowered dresses, is still, in her old-school way, an outlaw, a pothead matriarch with a shady past who prides herself on living outside the system. She\u2019s got a house full of warrants, the result of ignoring things like fines and judges\u2019 decrees; she\u2019s got stories about what it was like to work the pole: she\u2019s got a tiny gun (and yes, it will go off); she thinks running from the popo keeps her young (and it does). Her brother, the lusty sponging Uncle Joe (also played by Perry), and her equally lusty cousin Aunt Bam (the brilliant Cassi David-Patton) are always teeing off on each other, but they\u2019re really two peas in a hustler\u2019s pod. As all their relatives come together to celebrate the college graduation of Tim (Brandon Black), who\u2019s Madea\u2019s great-grandson, when enough of them have gathered the crusty Joe barks out, \u201cI got a question! Why the hell are all these Negroes in this house \u2014 is this the Amistad?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe is irrepressible, but he\u2019s smarter than he looks. As soon as he learns that Tim and his \u201cfriend,\u201d Davi (Isha Blakker), are dorm roommates, he figures out what\u2019s going on with them. \u201cA Madea Homecoming\u201d is here\u2019s-what-happened-to-the-\u201970s-inner-city comedy that turns into an earnest coming-out story with maybe one or two more secrets than it can bear.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an oddly amusing, ironic whiplash that takes place when you watch a \u201cMadea\u201d movie. The senior citizens onscreen razz each other with the fast and furious burn-this-or-I\u2019ll-burn-you glee of sitcom characters on dirty-minded overdrive. But the younger folks (i.e., everyone under 50) are so caught up in their melodramatic troubles that it\u2019s as if they\u2019re humor-impaired. This time, Perry pulls a fast one on the audience. We think that Tim telling everyone in his family he\u2019s gay is going to cause a ruckus, but most of them, like Joe, already had it figured out. They\u2019ve got no issue with loving Tim for who he is. Tim\u2019s problem is that his partner, Davi, loves somebody else \u2014 and not just anybody else. Someone\u2026close to home. It\u2019s a little surreal, a little icky, and a little nuts.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s a Tyler Perry movie, so you roll with it. You roll with it so that you can watch Perry team up with Brendan O\u2019Carroll, the star of the BBC sitcom \u201cMrs. Brown\u2019s Boys,\u201d who plays Mrs. Brown here \u2014 she\u2019s Davi\u2019s Irish great-aunt, and she\u2019s like a less funny Mrs. Doubtfire who says \u201cFookin&#8217;\u201d just often enough that you\u2019re glad she\u2019s around. You watch it to see everyone dig into Madea\u2019s private stash of candies \u2014 chocolates with a marijuana center \u2014 that turns the movie, however briefly, into a stoner comedy. You watch it for the film\u2019s wry denunciation of Defund the Police and for the flashback to 1955, where Madea re-enacts the story of how her man was stolen by her very best friend, who according to Madea was Rosa Parks. It seems the whole reason she refused to get off that bus was to avoid an ass-whuppin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that\u2019s so silly it\u2019s just plain wrong. But it\u2019s part of the \u201cMadea\u201d package: that you\u2019re going to sit back and relax into a movie that has no pretense beyond looking like it made itself up as it went along. Tyler Perry can be a clunky movie storyteller (and, in his serial TV work, a much better and more interesting one), but in \u201cA Madea Homecoming\u201d he does something that\u2019s harder to bring off than it looks: He keeps these characters popping, as if he were juggling their egos. Madea, Uncle Joe, and Aunt Bam are a little bit Marx Brothers and a little bit gangsta. And Madea, in her fusty way, has become eternal. Perry doesn\u2019t just play her, he channels her. Which may be why he can\u2019t (and shouldn\u2019t) stop.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
