The inner-city melodrama is as sticky as ever, but the downhome Georgia comedy is genuinely funny.
07/11/08
Master of disguise Perry's tangled web of narrative threads range from poignant to positively awful.
06/27/08
On top of everything else, the direction is sloppy, the script is forced, and the whole thing feels like a bad hallmark film.
06/08/08
Enjoyable movie about a nice family that contains some quirky characters
04/04/08
perhaps Perry's time in the limelight may be shorter than he -- or his fans -- think.
04/03/08
Tyler Perry continues his exploration of the sense and sensbility of the African-American community with this fun-loving celebration of the possibility of second chances.
03/30/08
By refusing to really get his hands dirty or to show the truth of the matter, Perry's work appears shallow and uninformed, thus begging the question: Is his work honest?
03/28/08
The filmmaking is often sloppy [and] the plot has some elements that are ridiculous ... but Meet the Browns does have a major plus in Angela Bassett.
03/27/08
Well, it took five tries, but Tyler Perry has finally made a good movie.
03/27/08
The importance of faith, church, kin, staying off drugs, sharing food, repenting from sin, forgiving sinners, appreciating a good black man, rejecting a bad one, and honoring black matriarchy is enumerated with typical, reassuring Perry broadness.
03/26/08
Does take a preachy direction in the final half, it's otherwise a fulfilling experience with all around great performances with some raucous laughs to be had...
03/26/08
After the enjoyable Why Did I Get Married?, Meet the Browns is a woeful setback.
03/26/08
While I could never call Meet the Browns a good movie, I will say it has moments that suggest Perry might yet make one.
03/26/08
Unlike Diary, the drama here is buoyant enough to handle the contrast of its too-silly slapstick.
