External critics' reviews
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Let's not sell Tyler Perry short. As the vinegar-witted Madea, he's a drag performer of testy charm, but in his overlit patchwork way he's also making the most primal women's pictures since Joan Crawford flexed her shoulder pads. more
L.A. Weekly Chuck Wilson
Madea's a riot, but what makes this richer, more textured follow-up to "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" so fascinating is the way Perry - a first-time director adapting his own hit play - shifts on a dime from a silly fart joke scene to one of intense, Sirkian melodrama. more
Chicago Tribune Chris Jones
Gussied up for the big time, Perry now is aiming himself squarely at a mainstream, middle-class female audience -- with some sops for their dates. more
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Too long and its tone is disconcertingly uneven, but Perry never betrays or condescends to his characters. more
Village Voice Jim Ridley
Perry's vaudevillian shamelessness and indifference to committee-approved taste are energizing and frequently jaw-dropping. more
Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
Perry's soap opera story lines are awful, with their nobly suffering sistas, gorgeous do-right men, and shamelessly materialistic dream endings. But the movie's message of gospel joy and racial pride couldn't be more sincere, and Perry gives an impeccable comic performance as the title character. more
The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden
Neither good nor so-bad-it's-good, Perry's odd oeuvre has an allure all its own. more
New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Perry makes sure villains get their comeuppance, while heroines get big, frilly weddings - with God, and an imperious Maya Angelou - presiding over it all. more
Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Perry is a playwright, and his dialogue here is usually entertaining. more
The New York Times Anita Gates
Both Ms. Angelou and Ms. Tyson deliver powerful, touching messages. Just as they're sinking in, the film turns into an unabashed chick flick with a painfully gaudy wedding that includes live angels hanging on wires from the ceiling. more
