Genre: Drama, Comedy
Tagline: Learn dignity. Demand respect.
Plot: Tyler Perry's wildly popular touring gospel musicals have taken the country by storm, and his character Madea, a pistol-toting grandmother (played by Perry), has become a hilarious voice for, of all things, strong Christian family values. Filmed in New Orleans in 2002, this release features a live theatrical performance of MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION, in which Madea takes in a foster child and uses every ounce of her courage and strength to keep her family together. This release was the inspiration for the Lion's Gate film of the same name, and is a perfect showcase for the lively, witty, and intimate brilliance of Tyler

All in all Madea’s Family Reunion sets itself up well, and holds a lot of promise, but never quite delivers enough. But it’s definitely got the potential.  --James Brundage (FilmCritic.com)
No question about it, this is conservative, simplistic, culture-war proselytizing dressed in prime-time sitcom drag and, as off-putting as I might find a movie that condemns spousal abuse while making humorous spectacles of belt-whipping kids and skillet-bashing bad husbands, or that weirdly casts a man in drag as a symbol of redemptive matriarchal power, I also must admit something else about Madea's Family Reunion...I'm just not on the guest list.  --Geoff Pevere
...is better than its predecessor, but only in the same way that the bomb on Nagasaki was better than the one on Hiroshima.  --Eric D. Snider (eFilmCritic.com)
Perhaps “Madea’s Family Reunion” isn’t meant for that close of an inspection, but I don’t feel it should be given a free ride either just because of good intentions. --Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
The only positive spin I can possibly put on the success of Perry’s cinematic work is that it may give fresh inspiration to struggling African-American filmmakers everywhere–if crap like his can make him a multi-millionaire, just imagine how well someonemight do with a halfway decent movie.  --Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com)

| The Christian and the social crusader win out -- and therefore moviegoers lose. --John P. McCarthy
... the follow-up to Tyler Perry's smash "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," has the flat, textureless look of a budget-cable telefilm, a script that over-articulates its themes and lessons at every turn and direction by a first-timer with no concept of where the camera is supposed to go....It's cheap and looks like it was made in a frenzied weekend without time for second takes. --DANIEL FIENBERG
With Perry's name attached to the production company, director's credit, writer's credit, and first three billing slots, he has no one to blame for this but himself.--Adam J. Hakari
