Customer Reviews

Everybody has a "Madea" in his/her family!
I'll admit that I'm a Johnny-come-lately to the "Madea" series, finally seeing this compilation at the insistence of my teenaged niece. Creator Tyler Perry and his alter-ego, the opinionated, pistol-packing, chain-smoking (never lit, by the way) "Madea," have starred in several successful stage plays and subsequent theatrical film versions to the delight of fans, mostly African-American, nationwide.

Though the stories feature the tried-and-true clichéd characters (the belligerent teenager, the devoted wife, the straying husband, the vixens, the lotharios, etc.) and situations (infidelity, promiscuity, straying from the church, comedic funerals, obnoxious and overbearing family members), Perry's productions also introduce a bit of spirituality with each story's ending dependent upon DIVINE INTERVENTION making things right. Some of the acting performances are a little over the top, and the musical selections, though sung with gusto and relish by the gifted vocalists, are weak in the lyrics department; however, as a whole, the respective productions are entertaining and inspirational.

Perry has tapped into a market that is unconsciously ignored by Hollywood, and is having great success on both the stage and screen.

This compilation lets the viewer experience and/or revisit those money-making stage shows.

Tyler Perry Collection a must-have for your family!
My family and I have been fans of Tyler Perry since seeing our first Madea video borrowed from a friend several years ago. When I saw this set, I had to have it. He speaks the language of families and has much better subject matter and language in his productions than many my family could see elsewhere. We are making plans to see his latest production "What's Done In The Dark" live, and know it will be worth it. Get this set for your DVD library - you won't regret it!

A perfect trio of faith, family and fun!
As the widow of an African American teen, I have always tried to find positive male role models for my son (in literature, art, movies, etc.)in addition to friends and family, that would help foster his growth into adulthood. Not an easy task, given that I am not only his mother, but white too.

My son and I just happened to go see Madea's Family Reunion in the theater this past weekend. He was so profoundly affected by this movie that we rented another Tyler Perry movie the same weekend.

My son, age 18, said that the positive male role models in these films and their committment to exposing the truth ("There are real men out there who love and respect women. These men don't seek to conquer or control a woman, but be a part of healing and restoration.") was something that other film producers should be doing.
