Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral

The tempo of the numerous dramatic scenes is on par with drying paint; characters lack consistency from scene to scene; the dialogue sounds like a first draft that needs major editing; its occasional technical sloppiness; and so forth.

Family Funeral isn't the best outing with Madea, and even that isn't a high bar to clear. But it's as good a farewell as we've come to expect.

A boring, cheeseball mess of a finale.

Too much of this film looks like a 15-minute SNL sketch stretched into a 1hr 49min movie-warts and all. This had the potential of being the best Madea outing ever, instead it's just another middling entry.

It's lights out for Madea as Tyler Perry ends the drag reign of his most beloved comic creation. This is the 11th and final film in the Madea franchise, and it's a slack, formless, monotonous mess. And yet Madea still gets in her licks. Your call.

A Madea Family Funeral gives its title character an unceremonious send-off, as amateurish and schlocky as any of the mean-but-good-hearted old lady's previous forays into the big screen.

Despite some stereotypes, A Madea Family Funeral takes an honest look at the Black experience during mourning.

The film's funniest scene is also it's most disturbing.

Basically, I watched all 11 Madea movies for no reason...

Perry seems eager to put the character behind him, and A Madea Family Funeral reflects that general sense of ennui.
