First of all, I would like to announce I'm a HUGE Madea fan ever since I watched the first one and have watched all of them.
There were certainly good elements in this Madea but the movie lost my attention at times. Some scenes were way too long - first thing you learn as a screenwriter is not to write a scene that's over 3 minutes, especially not at the beginning, or you may lose your viewers. Some parts of the dialogue were redundant.
Some of the Actors are not actual actors but Youtube sensations. Their acting was not the most convincing. It's hard to be over-the-top character-style (like Tyler Perry does with Madea) but still be believable. It also take talent to be natural and not over-the-top when needed. Acting is an Art and takes lots of training. Some may believe the number of followers is more important to the success of a project than actual talent, I would have to disagree on that one.
This Madea is not one of the Madea's I would watch again. In the end, it could have been better.
I still love Madea and will keep going and being a big fan. And I can't wait for the next one.
PS. Bloopers after credits come up are funny. If you go, make sure you stay until the end.
