Description
This touching family drama and very funny romantic comedy rolled into one, gives the gifted Angela Bassett one of the best roles she's had in years. Adapted by the prolific Tyler Perry, and based on his smash-hit stage play, here is a film that is guaranteed to bring both smiles and tears and a sense of recognition for any and all viewers. Bassett shines in the role of Brenda, a single mother trying to raise three children, from three different men, in the Chicago projects. After the plant where she works with her best friend, Cheryl (Sofia Vergara), closes down, she can no longer afford her rent, electricity or day care. But when a surprise letter arrives telling her that the father she never knew has died, and inviting her to the reading of the will and the funeral in Georgia, she has nowhere else to go, so she and her kids head down south to meet her half-sisters and brothers. Her newfound extended family includes the overemotional Vera (Jenifer Lewis), who is suspicious of Brenda; the wacky Leroy Brown (David Mann, recreating his stage role), who mangles the English language and wears some hysterical outfits, and the steady L.B. (Frankie Faison), who is married to the sweet and caring Sarah (Margaret Avery of The Color Purple) and has become the patriarch now that Pops Brown has died. In the meantime, Brenda's son, Michael, a high school basketball star, is being pursued by Harry (Rick Fox), a talent scout who is also interested in Brenda. Watch the sparks fly along the way. Perry himself returns as Madea, on the run from the law (again), and the laughs never stop. Special features include, deleted scenes, interviews, audio commentary, featurettes and more.
