Based on the popular stage production of the same name, "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns" is a charming story about the joys of family, and the possibility of second chances. "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns" was written and directed by Tyler, and produced by Reuben Cannon.

A single mother living in inner city Chicago, Brenda has been struggling for years to make ends meet and keep her three kids off the street. But when she's laid off with no warning, she starts losing hope for the first time – until a letter arrives announcing the death of a father she's never met. Desperate for any kind of help, Brenda takes her family to Georgia for the funeral. But nothing could have prepared her for the Browns, her father's fun-loving, crass Southern clan. In a small-town world full of long afternoons and country fairs, Brenda struggles to get to know the family she never knew existed…and finds a brand new romance that just might change her life.

Cast includes Tyler Perry, Angela Bassett, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Lance Gross, Chloe Bailey, Mariana Tolbert, Rick Fox, Sofia Vergara, Irma P. Hall

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Never Back Down (in Film)
The Karate Kid joins the Fight Club and kicks butt!

 

Funny Games (in Film)
Naomi Watts might want to fire her agent for attaching her to this infuriating fiasco. Walk-out bad.

 

Wetlands Preserved (in Film)
Wetlands Preserved is a fitting tribute to those intrepid souls who dared to try to carve out an altruistic utopian escape right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of a most materialistic metropolis.

 

College Road Trip (in Film)
More funereal than comical, with a universal message that gets lost in the shuffle.

 

SEMI-PRO (in Film)
Another goofy spoof strictly for the Ferrell faithful who ostensibly never tire of such bottom-feeding fare

 

LIVE AND BECOME (Va, Vis et Deviens) (in Film)
Ethiopian Identity at Issue in Coming-of-Age Flick from Israel

 

A RAISIN IN THE SUN (in Film)
A Raisin in the Sun will premiere on ABC-TV at 8 PM (EST) on Monday, February 25th. (Check local listings)

 

Be Kind Rewind (in Film)
Nothing can save this overambitious enterprise embarked upon by a couple of idiots, full of sound and fury but ultimately signifying nothing.

 

COVER (in Film)
Duplicitous Life on the Down-Low Theme of Murder Mystery

 

American GangsterMichael Clayton DVD review (in Film)
Corporate ethics is at the center of the intricate web woven by this modern morality play.

 

American GangsterDefinitely, Maybe (in Film)
You’re apt to enjoy the unpredictable hijinks along the path to this implausible romp’s carefully-concealed resolution.
