A force of nature, she is as out of control as a bad storm. Madea is completely over-the-top, saying and doing whatever she pleases. The charm of the Madea films, if that is the right word, is Perry’s in-drag portrayal of the lead character. Based as it is on a play by Perry, there had to have been at least two completed drafts of the work, although there is no evidence of this in the released film, which comes across as rushed and unfinished. The unevenness of A Madea Christmas really stands out. Given that Tyler Perry is the ultimate auteur of the Madea series – not only does he write, direct, produce, and star, but the films are made by his studio – there is something perplexing, though perhaps also a bit endearing, about to how rough and unpolished they are.
