I love this movie so much
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
I mean there really wasn't much to expect here. If your a fan of boo 1, then you probably will like this, but if your looking for a good story, you might want to skip this oneMadea is one of the best parts of the movie(per usual) and there were a few good laughs here and there, but I found myself board since most of the jokes were about obesity and farts. All in all, you should watch this if you enjoy Madea, but remember not to expect a lot from Tyler Perry.
The only reason I watched this movie was because I thought it set the record for longest Midnight Screenings by Brad Jones. Turns out I was wrong and it was actually the original that set the record. This Midnight Screenings was still over an hour long. To pour salt on my wound, I ate out there at the theater even though I already had! Dang, that food's expensive. I'm digressing, so let's get back to this movie.I had hard horror stories about the Tyler Perry movies. There just seemed to be an endless amount of them and I guess I'm glad I saw at least one of these dumb things. My first impression of Tyler Perry in a film was actually "Gone Baby Gone". What do you know, he was a good actor in that movie! This movie features him taking on the roles of various family members in drag reminded me of Eddie Murphy only not funny. You know, like Eddie Murphy now. Anyway, the film centers around his daughter going to a midnight Halloween party and seemingly confronted by supernatural creatures. The end reveals it was just a prank by her father. There's one scene where Madea puts her hand through the Grim Reaper's face and touches its real scythe. If this was all a prank, how did that happen? It was nothing but these same people making these dumb jokes over and over. It just seemed to go on forever with how pointless and unfunny everything was. *
Welcome to the most lazy and offensive $25 million production in recent memory. Where else can you find a rejoiced elderly pedophile with a sewer drain for a mouth, and a monolithic 10 plus minute static blocked shot-reserve-shot improv session in every scene. This film is truly at odds with its audience. Flaunting its privilege with needlessly racy innuendos and genuinely vomit-worthy rape praise. The central conflict revolves around a recently of-age daughter trying to attend a frat party on a secluded lake.Tiffany has just turned 18, and she's hungry for wasted college guys. Her plans last year were foiled by her pesky little ID, but today she scuttles to a stop in front of the frat house in her brand new Mini. Flaunting her driver's license and school uniform, she immediately has caricature males contorting their horny faces.With separated parents, Tiffany has diverse avenues to get what she wants. Her father still thinks petting zoos are applicable birthday fanfare, whereas her mother does not even bat an eye at twilight tent hookups. Both are irresponsibly dense, and impossibly unbelievable. The comedy sketch mentality never stops, but it is also never funny.The narrative only exists to shovel cheap twists into your expressionless face. Every decision has been made contrary to logic, and the result is a film that is brutally contrived and anti- humorous. Any surviving laughs are instantaneously slaughtered by some form of crude and medieval sexual deviance. A truly poisonous direction for the family-centric series, a deceptive turn that deserves no forgiveness.
So as far as sequels go, this is a very typical one. I went to see Boo 2 because though Tyler Perry movies are not really my thing, I actually enjoined the first Boo, so I took the chance that I would enjoy the second one.I totally did, too. It's not as good as the original. As much as I found the original funny, it also had an attempt to show family values in it that was not lost on me. This time around their attempt (If there was one cause I did not see it) was literally taken out to make more room for laughs. In a lot of ways it made the film like the second episode of one of Perry's shows (Which I like more than his movies), as it seems nobody learned the lesson from the first Madea Halloween.Case in point, like the original, Boo 2 is about Joe trying to discipline his entitled daughter, Tiffany. Once again she defies her overbearing father's wishes in order to go to a party at midnight in the woods at a camp where a bunch of people got murdered. Now I understand the natural urge for a teenager not to want to listen to her dad, but when your aunt is someone like Madea, you would think you would think twice about this woman coming to track you down, especially after what happen in the last movie. Like the last film, Boo 2 focuses on Madea and her friends running into terror and danger while trying to get to Tiffany. The film likes to Parody current themes in horror like with influences of Korean horror and it also pokes a nod to old school Horror with the film taking place at a camp and the underage teens being hunted by a man with a mask and a chainsaw.Overall, I much prefer the more light hearted Tyler Perry movies. Sometimes his stuff can be too over dramatic for me, but I seem to like it when he goes for straight up Sitcom style on us and that's Boo 2!It's crazy and filled with laughs and no matter where it fails compare to the first one, we are there to laugh and that's what makes this sequel enjoyable.http://cinemagardens.com/?p=1756
