Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns (2008) Movie Review:

Over the past decade, Tyler Perry has become a one man industry unto himself. After spending years as a successful playwright, one of his plays was turned into the major motion picture “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” became a massive overnight that turned Perry into a figure too powerful for many to ignore.
In the years sense, Perry has taken over the directing duties on his films, developing a blend of drama and comedy that proves to be a box-office success every times. Each film has often been better than the last, and they have all charmed and warmed the hearts of audiences with the message that “There’s Nothing Broken That Can’t Be Fixed By Love”. The success of the films has also earned Perry his own TV show, and he is easily considered one of the most powerful influential African-Americans in American right now, right behind Barrack Obama and Oprah Winfrey (who is a huge Perry fan).
After last year’s “Why Did I Get Married?”, Perry’s most serious film yet, Perry once again appears as Madea and Joe, his signature roles in his play and film franchises.
The film features a vastly differed cast, including the Oscar-nominated Angela Bassett and former basketball champion Rick Fox.
With a vast range of emotions that always strike an emotionally honest chord, Angela Bassett proves, as she often does, that she is one of the most underrated, undervalued, under-recognized, and underappreciated actresses working in film today.
The DVD doesn’t contain a vastly huge amount of bonus features, but what’s included is truly worthwhile. Disc One offers several featurettes which each run about seven to ten minutes long. The material is both informative and fun, and likely to please those who have following Perry’s career from it’s infancy, all the way to more casual fans.
One Featurette, entitled “Meet the Manns” is a behind the scenes look at the life of husband-and-wife comedic geniuses David and Tamela Mann. In addition to appearing in the film, they have known each other throughout their lives, been married for years, and been working with Perry for many of them.
Another feature, “Angela and Rick: Meet the Lovebirds”, is a look inside the working relationship and creative processes of Basset and Fox.
The second disc includes a bonus digital copy of the film, for you to watch where and whenever you may please. I may do so if I find my heart needs a little extra warming, and I invite you to do the same as well.
For a truly heartwarming evening of cinema, Perry’s films “Madea’s Family Reunion”, “Daddy’s Little Girls”, and “Meet the Browns”, will be one of the most deeply felt and unique experiences available in modern film
