Madea’s great-grandniece, Tiffany, introduces her new boyfriend, Zavier, to her family and drops the shocking news to them: that the couple is getting married in two weeks, and everybody is invited to their destination wedding in the Bahamas. Despite her mother, Debrah, appearing to have everything under control, the vacation is hitting some turbulence. Madea isn’t ready to leave the country; Brian doesn’t approve of his daughter’s hasty wedding or her immature fiancee; Tiffany starts to doubt Zavier; and Debrah’s acting out of character. The whole wedding smells suspicious, and all Brian wants to know is whether or not this marriage is really all that it seems.

I don’t know why I do this to myself nor do I understand why Tyler Perry does this to his audience, but I guess whenever in doubt after a few dramas or thrillers he’s gotta throw Netflix a Madea film every once in a while I don’t know if these films still have an audience as they seem to get worse and dumber each one. 

Watching this so now it’s kind of like a psychological study as we watch Tyler Perry play so many multiple roles and all of these characters are either talking to one or dealing with one another in the same scene so it’s pretty much almost a one man show where he’s talking to himself and occasionally adding other cast members to the mix

Also, when it comes to these Madea movies, it seems like he recast and hopes that we remember most of these characters from before, even though their new actors or new looks other than his usual stock characters of Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown’s daughter, Thelma, the next-door, neighbor, auntie Ruth, and then all the characters he plays. Some have been there since the beginning others seem to have joined in the last few films.

As we have Tyler Perry‘s character playing the father of a daughter, who’s ex-wife was a drug addict, then cleaned herself up then they reconciled then she married a new man who is rich and now loves throwing money in his face while spoiling their two children. These characters were played in the earlier films is more of a side story but once we got to boo a Madea Halloween, they pretty much became main characters.

In those films, the problem was the characters just sat around and talked mostly one up in each other with insults and then the action didn’t really happen until the third act and it wasn’t much action and then a moral message and it’s pretty much the same here except in the second half of the film is where we actually get to see some nice scenery 

Though the films promise that most of the characters aren’t very likable, the daughter who is getting married is still as selfish as she has always been and was throughout the boom Madea movies so she has not shown any growth or change and yet we’re supposed to care about her romantic relationship With this young man who comes across is very rude from his very first scene, but then we learned why and we’re supposed to really care about him and it doesn’t work and then we see that his ex-wife supposedly is even more selfish than the daughter trying to make the wedding all about her while there’s chaos in her own life And of course by the end, there’s a moral message

Look if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it. I understand what Tyler Perry is just trying to PLEASE his audience and goes for even though all of his humor here seems tired, and as he said, it truly shows that he doesn’t make movies for audiences or critics he truly seems to make them for himself and if this is what he thinks it’s funny That’s sad.

One can’t take away from his success and all of his triumphs, though as usual, this is a letdown, especially on the heels of one of his better films for him STRAW 

No, just please more like desperation like she’s running out of subjects and is relying on the same old jokes that aren’t even working for his core audience anymore
