Well Done
I went into "Medea's Family
Reunion" expecting a stupid little comedy, Boy, was I suprised.
This film is a really well done drama and comedy mix. TYLER PERRY
(who also wrote and directed) plays Medea, and old fiesty lady who
is planning a family reunion. We meet some of her family. But the
main focus is on two sisters and their overbearing, gold digging
mother. LYNN WHITFEILD gives an outstanding performance as the
mother who is planning the wedding of her daughter Lisa (a very
lovely ROCHELLE AYTES) to a very rich Carlos (strongly played by
BLAIR UNDER WOOD). The problem here is that Lisa doesn't love him
and is tired of being beaten and slapped around by him. Then there
is the other daughter, Vanessa (LISA ARRINDELL ANDERSON, also doing
a fine job) who is ignored by her mother, has a child. She meets a
bus driver and falls in love, but of course he is too low on the
social ladder for her mother's approval. In the midst of all
this, Medea is ordered by the courts to care for a child who is
heading for trouble. There are times when this film is very
violent and very funny, but somehow they blend very well. There is
a scene near the end where the audience I saw it with cheered and
applauded, and so did I. Tyler Perry,a job well done. SEE YA
