InA Madea Family Funeral , Madea and co. organize a funeral for Anthony ( Derek Morgan ) , a family paterfamilias who died in a rather compromise position . Though the story may sound tragic , the movie itself is anything but somber and reverent . For example , due to the nature of his demise , Anthony has a physical circumstance that makes it rather difficult to keep the coffin lid exclude .

Rolling Stone :
" [ Tyler Perry ] order it only took a workweek to flash the last chapter . At first you think that ’s amazing . By the end , you ’re amazed it took him so long to create such a slack water , formless , monotonous mickle … Everything spills out in a cacophony of voices essay to yell over each other to diminishing returns in laughs . "
The Hollywood Reporter :
" Considering how well the character has serve him , Perry certainly does n’t return the favour in this graceless episode blend raucous clowning and turgid melodrama to undigestible effect … this movie , like almost all of his others , has a flip - off quality , give the impression it was written and shot over a foresighted weekend . "
Crooked Marquee :
" distinctive of Tyler Perry ’s Madea serial : excruciating and bilk with occasional flecks of bemusement at how misguided it is ; garishly illuminate and inexpensive - looking , like it was shot on a sitcom soundstage ( which it was ) ; woefully overlong and gammon - fistedly plot because writer - director - producer Perry keeps strike salary dirt with these things and has no incentive to improve . "
Blu-ray.com :
" The feature quickly becomes a lawn tennis match between wildly disparate tones , which , for two hour , makes the viewing experience feel like a kidnapping … So much of A Madea ’s Family Funeral feels endless , hostile , and faineant , with Perry using a stencil to complete his book . This is n’t a loving farewell , but a slapdash last chapter ( at least until Perry lead out of money ) , make it easy to bid adieu to the dreadful character and her toxic clan . "
covert It :
" The press notes say this motion picture was take in a week . I believe it . It also seems to have been written in a week . Maybe shorter , who knows ? ! . Perry ’s yield as a scripter has always been something to marvel at . I swear there have been some scripts he ’s written where he set up a pizza pie , jump write , and finished the script by the time the pizza pie delivery guy rope go far at his doorstep . This might have been one of them . I bury this franchise with a 1 out of 10 . "
While those quotes are n’t great , it ’s not all bad pressure forA Madea Family Funeral . Tyler Perry ’s latest received a minute of praise as well , with even some the " Rotten " review finding courteous thing to say .
Rendy Reviews :
" Compared to how the last two Madea movies felt creatively bankrupt ( aka stemmed from a joke by Chris Rock in his own movie ) , A Madea Family Funeral actually feels inspired … As essentially blemished and rubbishy as it is , the film hark back to classic Perry in his root . It kind of had me nostalgic of the days of my childhood where I used to put on the moonshine copies of his plays that my mob had and watch them together . Those were good times . "
The Hollywood Outsider :
" To those who do appreciate the case , A Madea Family Funeral is stacked with heart and snappy backchat . For all of the flack this serial publication induce from some vital lap , I have personally always enjoyed and respected Perry ’s film to varying degrees , with this being no exclusion . In Madea , Perry created a character who talk to an interview that no other filmmaker was speak to , and in routine , created a domain whose interview grew more inclusive as it went on . "
RogerEbert.com :
" Madea ’s last hooray is Perry ’s good movie since his most dramatically successful I Can Do Bad All By Myself …. I hook to express mirth out gimcrack legion time , and I was catch by Vianne ’s big “ what ’s expert for the goose ” style speech at the goal . If A Madea Family Funeral is indeed the final “ Hallelu - YUHRR ” for Madea , it ’s not that shabby an expiration . "
A running topic in almost all of the reviews was incredulity towards Perry ’s title that this is his last Madea movie - and give how well the character has served him over the twelvemonth , critics may be correct to doubt that Madea is really go for good .
