Overview

Experience the origins of playwright/actor Tyler Perry's number-one box-office smash in this filmed performance of the original stage hit. Featuring none other than Perry himself in the dual roles of Daddy Charles and Madea, this comic tale of love lost and life reclaimed is sure to warm the soul as it tickles your funny bone. When successful attorney Charles McCarter files for divorce from his wife, Helen, after a lengthy marriage so that he can marry another woman, Helen's hopes of continuing to live the American dream are shattered. Though the devastation of her failed marriage leaves Helen doubtful about her future, a little help from reefer-loving, gun-toting granny Madea Perry goes a long way in raising her spirits and showing her that she has yet to enjoy the best years of her life.

    Great Movie!!

    It's about time we saw BLACK love portrayed with such charm and compassion AND with such beautiful BLACK actors on the big screen! Thumbs up to Tyler Perry and the casting crew - a beautiful blend of great story telling and great acting. The story was very much like the stage play (but I like the ending of the movie better!) Madea was in rare form, but if you can understand the difference in stage acting and acting in front of the camera, you will find a great appreciation for both mediums - the stage play AND the movie. I hope Hollywood has taken note that Black Writers and Black Actors can contribute more in this arena than just movies of crime!

    Great movie. Saw it three times

    If you need uplifting inspiration, this movie is it. The movie critics panned the movie but it was obvious they had no concept of black families or having a grandmother like in the movie. The music is inspiring too and the whole movie reminds us to look to God and he will help us heal and go on. Great movie.
