Madea's Big Happy Family

ComedyDrama106 min

Madea barrels into a family crisis when her niece Shirley (Loretta Devine) gets troubling news about her health and asks for her children to come together. Instead, Shirley’s grown kids are tangled in their own problems: Tammy’s household is in chaos, Kimberly’s marriage is cracking, and Byron is freshly out of jail and facing old pressures. Tyler Perry is Madea, charging through the mess with blunt advice and hard-headed interference, while Cassi Davis’s Aunt Bam adds another loud voice to an already strained reunion.
