Tyler Perry's A Madea Homecoming

A Madea film set at a family gathering. Madea's great-grandson is graduating from university. The family gathers at the house for the celebration: siblings, cousins, old friends and an argument that never stops in the kitchen. Secrets spill as soon as the party begins. An affair, a hidden relationship and a child nobody knew about all come out the same evening. Meanwhile guests arrive from Ireland. The family of the graduate's friend has come with their grandmother, and two grandmothers face each other; the biggest laughs come from their conversations. Madea's function is what it always is: a grandmother who shouts, swears and cares for no rule, saying what nobody else in the family can. Tyler Perry wrote and directed and plays more than one part; he takes several members of the same family, Madea included. Cassi Davis and David Mann are in the cast. It was released on a streaming service and was a return to the series after a long gap. A familiar choice for anyone who likes the Madea films and family comedy. For a viewer who does not know the series, the humour is built on shouting and the narrative scatters between scenes.
