Rich beyond their own dreams, this grouping of disgusting human beings don't quite get the meaning of Christmas. Hooray! Soon after, we're introduced to another trademark family of dysfunction, the Mansells. This may be the defining moment of 'A Madea Christmas' - random music that doesn't fit into anything. In Perry's latest 'opus,' we're greeted with a rendition of O Come, All Ye Faithful before we even meet the characters singing it. Apparently my editor likes to play cruel little jokes, and making me hear more ****ing Christmas music definitely qualifies as cruelty. So.naturally when 'A Madea Christmas' came up for review, my name was attached. It sounds sinister to me, like a cruel indoctrination towards fabrications (you know, tooth fairies, almighty deities, so on.), with horribly un-catchy lyrics, borderline idol worship, and is loaded with utter nonsense for the sake of rhyme scheme. I hate working for four weeks every year with that garbage on a loop. Let's just whittle it down and get to the straight and narrow: I absolutely loathe Christmas music. And while I'm no fan of Perry's plays, there are many things I despise much more in the universe, probably too many to list in a review that aims to be under ten thousand words. I understand that these performances are precursors, gauges for potential films, but I really just don't quite dig them as much as I do their cinematic adaptations, which I'd consider much more polished and professional. They're overlong, excessively gimmicky, full of pandering, and not exactly what I'd call entertaining. While I enjoy Tyler Perry's films, when they're not overly preachy and cliche, so far I'm not a very big fan of his plays. Sometimes, you just have to review something that goes against every fiber of your being.
