THE NIGHT SHE CAME HOME!

Madea (Tyler Perry) and her friends spend their Halloween helping her nephew prevent his 17-year-old daughter (Diamond White) from getting into trouble.

One of few Madea films not to be based on a play, this comedy was inspired by a Madea joke in a 2014 Chris Rock movie, Top Five. A horror comedy without the first part, sadly; what we do get is a cast of YouTubers and endless banter between Madea and her buddies.

Poorly paced, with the expected moralizing. Best joke: the tagline.

2016-U.S. 103 min. Color. Written and directed by Tyler Perry. Cast: Tyler Perry (Madea/Joe/Brian), Cassi Davis (Betty ”Bam” Murphy), Patrice Lovely (Hattie Mae Love), Diamond White, Yousef Erakat, Lexy Panterra… Tyga. 

Trivia: Co-produced by Perry. Followed by Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017).
