They go to fancy places, have a wonderful home, and Carlos regularly beats the living shit out of her. Lisa (Rochelle Aytes) and her husband-to-be Carlos (Blair Underwood) have the perfect relationship. But to some of you, mentioning her after pain and suffering is redundant.

There's only pointless pain and suffering. Simply put, 'Madea's Family Reunion' may be the worst of Perry's films, due to the haphazard manner in which stories with drastically different themes co-mingle, on top of mind-numbingly awful characters who make ridiculously stupid decisions, who can act out of pure evil.yet not truly get what's coming to them in the end. I really don't see how anyone can sit down to this film and feel good about anything by the time it's done, after being raked over the coals for two hours of woman beating and "shocking revelations" that make the situation even worse. It's just the way it's discussed and shown, it's borderline sickening. Sure, Perry's films usually have a controversial subject matter in one of the dueling story arcs, in order to show the low down opposite of the religious angles pushed, so I wasn't shocked that these good Christian films would have such barbaric depictions. So, what is so darned controversial about this film? The portrayal of domestic violence, and the way characters react to it.
#MADEA FAMILY REUNION CAST FULL#
Please keep in mind that I was full of wonder and glee when I sat down to 'A Serbian Film' last month. I actually mean that I found myself getting uncomfortable with what I was seeing on screen. In all actuality, it's fairly well paced and put together, even if there are some bizarre stretches, redundant scenes, and questionable editing choices.I could go on for an hour, really. No, that isn't a joke or a snide comment about the quality of the film. Tyler Perry's film adaptation of his 'Madea's Family Reunion' play may very well be one of the most disturbing movies I've seen in some time.
