Madea's Family Reunion
Who: Tyler Perry
What: A Madea-planned reunion not only brings together family, young and old, but also some much expected drama.

The 'Perry Secret': Clearly Tyler derives pleasure from have broad, caricature-like humor dotted throughout his comedy dramas. Just like any joke intended to make one gaffaw, the multi-hyphenate director dips into the coarseness of life to get a rise out of his loyal, ever-growing audience. He's not afraid of the awkwardness that clumsy, fantastical humor can usher in--so, go him.
“What's pleasantly surprising me is watching it cross over. Watching the charts rise in the other demographics."
--Tyler Perry
