Seems no other filmmaker cranks out the content like Tyler Perry who makes a couple major features a year – mostly based around Madea, a sassy Grandma with trouble written all over her – but also brings a message with her madness!
The newest installment is “I Can Do Bad All by Myself ” – here’s the gist:
When “Madea”, America’s favorite pistol-packing grandma, catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April.
Initially wanting nothing to do with the kids, April learns along the way that she can change her old ways and become a better person. But it takes a lot of work and the help of a handsome Mexican immigrant who moves in with April to push her to change.
The previous adventure was Madea Goes to Jail – the DVD release of which was featured on the Behind the Scenes vidcast #49. Tyler Perry is a solo-industry in that he produces, directs, writes AND stars in the Madea films as the title character.
This clip gives a sense of what’s Tyler Perry’s style is all about, ergo: “I’m not gonna put my weapons down for no officer, I’m sorry. All I want you to do is send an ambulance because I’m gonna bust a cap in these fools.”
More clips from I Can Do Bad All By Myself are coming but be sure to explore the Madea Goes to Jail archive for 20+ videos of interviews, behind the scenes and b-roll.
