Meet the Browns

Another Tyler Perry classic.

MEET THE BROWNS is an emotional movie about a single mom (are all Black moms single?) and her stereotypical struggles to raise her three children the right way. She has to go to a funeral in Georgia for her own dad that she hardly knew so that we can meet the crazy Brown family. And are they ever crazy.

This is the part of the movie where we get to meet Leroy Brown, a colorful character not unlike Madea that is part of the Tyler Perry world. He supposedly slept with Madea. He's just as crazy, dresses like a Filipino, and says all the wrong words in the wrong places like our 'ukulele teacher. He was funny as hell.

Rick Fox is in the movie playing a former NBA player who got divorced from his wife. Hmmm... Angela Bassett plays the struggling single mom. Is it me or does Bassett always look like she can kick some deadbeat dad a$$ if she really wanted to?

Apparently, the Brown family was unaware that their daddy had another daughter (Bassett), so when she shows up at their home with her kids, they don't know who the hell she is. Kooky as they are, she (and us, the viewers) realize(s) that your family is there to support you whenever you need them. She also learns that guys are only charming when they want to get in your pants. Just kidding. But not really.

Again, Perry gets us all riled up by showing us some scenes with Bassett and the a$$hole father of one of her kids. That muthaf@cker is cold as ice. Be prepared to yell at the screen. Maybe even throw something. Beautiful was crying throughout the movie. You moms are gonna feel that $hit.

Great movie. I'd put it third or even fourth among his movies. Yeah, we've seen them all. Not at the theaters though. Too dangerous. Might get shot. I give this movie two kids being well-taken care of by their beautiful mama...
