A Madea Christmas

Madea gets coaxed into helping a friend pay her daughter a surprise visit in the country for Christmas, but the biggest surprise is what they'll find when they arrive. As the small, rural town prepares for its annual Christmas Carnival, new secrets are revealed and old relationships are tested while Madea dishes her own brand of Christmas Spirit to all.

I had hoped to find the whole Madea thing funny again after it had gotten so stale during the last couple of entries.  And it had a couple of moments but overall, it was just as bad.  The side story was overly dramatic as always.  And how in the hell Larry The Cable Guy is in a Tyler Perry movie is totally beyond me.

I would not really recommend anyone watching this.  I was a huge fan of Madea at the start.  I still found it funny for the first four or five films but it has definitely run its course now and needs to be shelved for a while, if not permanently.
