Movie:  A Madea Family Funeral

Our rating: 3/5

Short review: While the formula is one that has worked for Perry for a number of years, it was not quite the curtain call that I was hoping for. But if you’re someone who just cannot get enough of Madea and her antics, then this one will still be a fun watch.

Movie: Isn’t It Romantic (Netflix)

Our rating: 2/5

Short review: Isn’t It Romantic becomes the very thing it is mocking – cliché ridden and predictable.
