Tyler Perry revives his signature character, the tough and vindictive — but oddly nurturing — Mabel “Madea” Simmons. In his latest film, which marks the 11th appearance of the long-running character, Madea and her family head to the backwoods of Georgia for a family reunion. The trip turns into a nightmare, however, when the get-together turns into a funeral, and an opportunity for old family secrets to be brought into the open. Perry writes and directs, and A Meadea Family Funeral also features the talents of Cassi Davis, Patrice Lovely, Ciera Payton, KJ Smith, David Otunga, and Rome Flynn.
