A single mother living in inner city Chicago, Brenda has been struggling for years to make ends meet and keep her three kids off the street. But when she's laid off with no warning, she starts losing hope for the first time – until a letter arrives announcing the death of a father she's never met. Desperate for any kind of help, Brenda takes her family to Georgia for the funeral. But nothing could have prepared her for the Browns, her father's fun-loving, crass Southern clan. In a small-town world full of long afternoons and country fairs, Brenda struggles to get to know the family she never knew existed…and finds a brand new romance that just might change her life.
I happen to be a big fan of Tyler Perry movies. Madea is one of my favorite movie characters of all time. Even though she was only in this movie for a couple of minutes, Tyler Perry introduced Leroy Brown who was just as entertaining as Madea has been in past movies. Perry has always done a phenomenal job of capturing relationship and family emotions and this movie was no different. Its a quality character drama with some really big laughs.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who has enjoyed Tyler Perry's previous movies. Its not as good as the Madea movies, but is only one notch below.
