TYLER PERRY’S<br />
BOO! A MADEA<br />
HALLOWEEN<br />
LIONSGATE / OCT. 21<br />
n In 2009, director Spike Lee called Tyler Perry’s<br />
character, Madea, “coonery buffoonery.” Perry struck<br />
back: “Spike needs to shut the hell up!” Audiences<br />
have spoken—eight movies and $350 million later,<br />
Medea returns in this horror comedy inspired by a<br />
joke in Chris Rock’s film Top Five. In that 2014 film,<br />
Chris Rock’s character, a famous actor, is upset that<br />
people aren’t at his movie, that they are instead at<br />
something called Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween.<br />
Lionsgate called Perry—”let’s do it.” And here we are.<br />
In this outing, Madea is charged with keeping an eye<br />
on her grandniece Tiffany (singer Diamond White)<br />
and a group of teens set on having a Halloween bash,<br />
but ghosts, ghouls, and goblins get in the way.<br />
