Tyler Perry returns as
Madea, a brash but loving African-American grandmother with her own way of doing things in this screen adaptation of his popular stage
comedy drama.
Madea has her work cut out for her when she finds herself dealing with a handful of family crises the same weekend that she's planned a massive family reunion. Her niece
Lisa (
Rochelle Aytes) is engaged to marry a handsome and successful man (
Blair Underwood), but the good news is blunted when she reveals to her friends that he beats her. Another niece,
Vanessa (
Lisa Anderson), has been having romantic problems of her own, and isn't sure she should take another chance on love with a humble but good-hearted bus driver (
Boris Kodjoe).
Madea's older sister dies, with the funeral landing the same weekend as
Lisa's wedding. And on top of all this, a court order forces
Madea to look after
Nikki (
Keke Palmer), a troubled and angry teenager from a broken home.
Madea's Family Reunion also stars
Lynn Whitfield,
Jennifer Lewis,
Cicely Tyson, and
Maya Angelou.
