Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion (2003) Review

Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion (2003)
Average Reviews:

After watching the movie by Tyler Perry, THE DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, I wanted to watch all of the plays that Tyler Perry had written and acted in as well. MADEA'S CLASS REUNION was the very first play that I watched of the collection. Boy was it a good introduction to a wonderful collection of plays.
When I watched this play, I wasn't expecting it to be so good. Not only was there a lot of laughs but there was great gospel singing, acting, and a Christian "tonality" to the play. While the movie THE DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN somewhat exploited this Christian tone, it didn't do it to the degree that any of Perry's stage plays did. Here a prostitute fights for her life with a husband who abuses her (and is a pimp), at a hotel, an elderly lady who cleans the rooms is fired by a manager who isn't Christian but ends up becoming the manager of the hotel. I would tell you more, but you must experience this master work for yourself. I will tell you that Madea is "funny as h***, I ain't lying" (one of her famous lines throughout the Tyler Perry series). 5 stars.

When Madea (Tyler Perry) shows up for her 50th class reunion, you know it's going to be a whopper! Between the belly laughs and thesoulful songs are life lessons. Thanks to Madea's wisdom, the message is clear: Learn to forgive and begin with yourself.

Tim Hawkins: INSANITIZED Review

Tim Hawkins: INSANITIZED

I first saw Tim Hawkins on Bananas Comedy, and I loved his style of clean comedy and funny songs. I don't think I ever saw his second Bananas appearance, but I did see his DVDs (Full Range of Motion, and I'm No Rockstar.) Funny mix of songs and clean Christian comedy. I saw a few clips here and there for this show Insanitized and I laughed hysterically. I watched the DVD and I laughed even more! Again, nice mix of funny songs and some very funny stand-up!
By the way, there's a tiny bit of overlap between DVDs, but here it's pretty much new stuff which is awesome for someone like Tim Hawkins. Keep bringing the funny, but in entirely new ways. A few bits that stand out (this is referencing the Chapter Menu foldout within the DVD: The Government Can (funny but too true song), 3rd Wheel (start-out song on this DVD), Unwashed masses, Bad candy (yep, we've all had bad candy come Halloween time), and a few more tracks later in the show that talks about his kids. A hysterically funny bit is when he talks about stuff being in the Bible, and when he talks about the Precious Moments Bible not illustrating specific moments.
There's a song he does called I'm a Christian. It's a serious song, and it kind of threw me off (not because it was a bad song or anything, I just wasn't expecting it), but it was a lovely, nice song. Then he closes it out with a song called Twinkie. It's a reference to a bit about churches and sermons.
All in all, this was an awesome hour and thirteen minutes of clean Christian comedy. Very recommended for fans of Tim Hawkins, and/or clean comedy.

Tim Hawkins brings down the house at the beautiful Carson Center in Paducah, Kentucky. In the unique style that his fans love, Tim delivers gut-punching standup along with his trademark song parodies and original music. A former All-American baseball player, Tim traded the sports stage for the comedy stage and never looked back. The St. Louis native taught himself to play guitar and tested the waters at area youth events and comedy clubs. Today, this father of 4 plays to packed auditoriums and theaters throughout North America, and his DVDs are sold worldwide.
