Quotes:

Mable 'Madea' Simmons: Joe. Did that thing just push you?
Joe: Sho did. She don't know about us. We Baptist. We tear this place up.
Mable 'Madea' Simmons: Girl, I will set it off up in here. She don't know me. You better be glad you at church. Jesus just saved your life, Hallelu-yer!
Milay Jenay Lori: I'm tired of dealing with black people. Always late. And ig'nant.
Mable 'Madea' Simmons: She don't know me. I'm a straight-up thug. I shot Tupac. Yes, I did. We was arguing over a parking place. I didn't kill him, though. No, that wasn't me.

Madea's Family Reunion-Superb

I recently saw the Madea's Family Reunion movie and loved it. Tyler Perry is a very gifted man and deserves so much more credit than he is actually given. His movies and plays hit home to a lot of families and people and deal with issues that happen in everyday situations. As an African American woman, I am proud to to see a young brother handling his own and doing what obviously comes natural to him. Back in the day every African American family had someone that played the role as a "Madea". Madea keeps the family going and brings everyone together. Tyler Perry, continue to do what God has placed on your heart. I have enjoyed the plays and will continue to join a packed movie theater whenever they hit theaters.
