The first time I saw a Tyler Perry play was Madea's Family Reunion and from there I was hooked. This DVD captured the pure magic of Tyler and the character Madea is hilarious. Whenever I need a laugh or have my spirits lifted, this is the first thing I place in my DVD player. It's funny, positive, spiritual, uplifting and the cast is great. I would defiantly recommend this product!!!

I am a fan of Tyler Perry's Productions. I already pre-ordered the dvd of the movie "Diary of a Mad Black Woman". Tyler never fails to demonstrate the importance of family and friendship. He brings that important fact back to reality in his productions. I got so much out of this through the laughter that is non-stop. Tyler is a God-fearing talented man.

GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT

This is a wonderful wholesome movie to watch, I love Madea and all her characters in the play especially when she and Mr Browne go at it about being neighbours and the fact that they do not like each others ways and habits. Vicky is also a character to watch where she comes into Madea's yard and finds Mr Browne in there with a yellow shower cap, bunny slippers and a panda coloured towel wrapped around him which she found oddly strange and the response she gave Browne had me rolling around.

I also recommend 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman' by the said Tyler Perry but there are two with the same title, there is the movie and there is the stage play. Wonderful , wonderful. Invest in it and you will not be disappointed, I sure wasn't...

WONDERFUL MR TYLER PERRY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.......

I recieved this DVD in great time. I laughed so hard, yet the message was so powerful. We need more people like Tyler to deal with the truth yet give hope.

This play was also funny and carried the theme that a family that prays together, stays together. The play is so authentic and real. I enjoyed it and thanks again.

Family Reunion is my favorite of Tyler's Perry's stage plays. This story begins with a funeral, a family reunion, and finally a wedding.

It shows the strength of a family when going through both good times and bad times.

This play also has some of Tyler's best comedic lines as Madea.

tyler perry has really out done hisself on his shows, i own all his stage shows out so far and can't wait to be able to buy this one as the movie when it comes out on dvd. if you haven't seen his show you need to get them now

Medea returns in the latest of Tyler Perry's "dramadies", "Medea's Family Reunion". The film is a hilarious combination of slapstick comedy and serious social commentary. Domestic abuse is one of the storylines in the films. Within this storyline, viewers are introduced to some of Medea's kin people who have paid the ultimate price to elevate their social and economic status. In an effort to provide her kids with the plush comforts of life, Medea's niece sacrifices the love of a daughter and the connection to her extended family. The downcast daughter internalizes the mistreatment from her mother and develops a protective shield around her heart that nearly causes her the love of the one man who could truly make a difference in her life. The mistreated and downcast daughter plays opposite of her dearly loved and pampered sister. Having received all of the material things in life that she's ever wanted, the pampered sister is engaged to a wealthy investment banker who insists on control and domination at all times. Both sisters survive their past and present with the advice and direction of Medea whose old school approach to love and family always pulls everyone together.

This comedy/drama is an extremely enjoyable escape. The film is packed with high profile stars including Maya Angelou and Cicley Tyson and graced with some of the most popular (and sexy) African American movie stars at work today. The films culminates at the family reunion where the elders, appalled by the lifestyle and behaviors of the family's youth, dispense the wisdom and guidance that will hopefully put the family back on course. Typical of Perry's works, the films spoofs well known African American films and figures. Didactic and often preachy, the film is quite entertaining and reflects, in jest, many serious issues affecting American culture in general and African Americans in particular. Well worth the viewing. Enjoy!

I saw the movie and felt that Mr. Perry is nothing but a genius!
He portraited black women as beautiful, strong, and sometime misguided but always wonderfully human and full of grace.
Well done!

All I can say is that this movie was amazing I saw it on the release date and the next day on that Saturday! I loved it so much to anyone who hasnt saw it you are missing out because this movie is a thriller filled with nothing but laughter and the love of family. It is guaranteed to bring families together spiritually and physically!!!
