There’s also a scene involving a car crash, followed by an explosion.
To teach her a lesson, we later see the female student strung up with Christmas lights on the wooden cross in the class room. Violence: While Madea is class-sitting for Lacey, a student steals Madea’s purse when she’s not looking. There are also some good appearances from Chad Michael Murray, Larry the Cable Guy, and even an hysterical cameo from a YouTube celebrity. While the jokes might be a bit stale, her attitude, to me, never gets old, and I found myself laughing at most of her dialog. What was also nice were the performances. A Cross is properly displayed in a classroom, and comments are made about how awful it is that prayer was taken out of schools. The citizens focus on the real story of Jesus and are even shown fighting for it. The town the story takes place in does not celebrate Santa Claus or the commercial holiday. It was nice to see Christianity (with the exception of one scene) being portrayed in a positive manner. The story, while humorous, is also very heart-wrenching in multiple spots and deals with a lot of difficult themes: bullying, racism, and even commercialism. While there are some really hysterical moments, it still has a sense of déjà vu.
In watching “A Madea Christmas,” I couldn’t help feel that I got the same kind of humor (still grossly inappropriate in some areas). But for many, among them top-notch acclaimed critics, the joke has gone old. I’ve seen only two of the seven Madea films, so, to me, the films are still very much fresh. Is Tyler Perry’s Madea film franchise one of them? Well, that depends on who you ask. It’s a story about romance, trees, family, faith, and a good old helping of Madeaĭo film franchises get old? Yes, they do. However, as Eileen predicts, things are not what they seem. Not to mention, her mom and good old Madea’s niece, Eileen is planning a surprise visit, bringing smart-mouthed Madea with her, against Lacey’s wishes. Our story revolves around a young school teacher, Lacey and her struggle to help the town out with their goal of participating in their annual Christmas Jubilee and adjusting to life in the country with her new husband, Connor (whom she had secretly eloped with). It’s almost Christmas time! And everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit in southern Georgia.
