Funny, but all the best scenes were given away in the previews. Madea gets paid to board a family of five after a man, Eugene Levy, is used as the fall guy in a Ponzi scheme. Unfortunately, Levy (American Pie) gets way too goofy, to the point of not being funny anymore. Denise Richards is miscast as Levy’s wife. The most fun was Grandma (Doris Roberts; Everyone Loves Raymond), who had a crush on Madea’s brother Joe (Tyler Perry), but that storyline wasn’t explored as much as I would have liked. The fun is in watching Madea deal with the family and their teenage daughter, as well as watch her reactions to pretty much everything. At least this Madea film is pure comedy and didn’t mix in some overdone drama with the storyline. Only for die-hard Madea fans.
