Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns
2007
What’s life without a Tyler Perry film every few months? And why is his name in every friggin’ title? You don’t see Spike Lee’s name in the title of his films. We know by now it’s from your production company, Tyler. You can chill with that. Anyway, here’s a first look at the film, Meet The Browns, adapted from his stageplay of the same name.
Release Date: March 21, 2008
Director: Tyler Perry
Screenwriter: Tyler Perry
Cast: Tyler Perry, Angela Bassett, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Lance Gross, Chloe Bailey, Mariana Tolbert, Rick Fox, Sofia Vergara, Irma P. Hall
Synopsis: 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.
I’m wondering if Angela Bassett and Rick Fox are love interests in this film? Angela, I can see, but Rick Fox? You’ve got to be kidding me? If Angela signed on, this means that she really believes in the project. She rarely, and I do mean rarely, makes a shitty film, except for that train wreck called A Vampire In Brooklyn. *insert dry heaves here* Maybe she can make Rick look good on screen. I’ve seen his acting in the past and it was majorly stilted.
