Tyler Perry's MEET THE BROWNS (2008)
SYNOPSIS
A funny, moving romantic drama about the power
of love and family, Lionsgate’s Tyler Perry's Meet
the Browns marks another winning portrayal of
life by writer/director/actor Tyler Perry (Diary of a
Mad Black Woman, Madea's Family Reunion) and
features a return to the big screen by Madea, the
indomitable, law-breaking, fun-loving grandma.
A single mother living in inner city Chicago, Brenda
has been struggling for years to make ends meet
and keep her three kids off the street. But when
she’s laid off with no warning, she starts losing
hope for the first time – until a letter arrives
announcing the death of a father she’s never met.
Desperate for any kind of help, Brenda takes her
family to Georgia for the funeral. But nothing could
have prepared her for the Browns, her father’s fun-
loving, crass Southern clan. In a small-town world
full of long afternoons and country fairs, Brenda
struggles to get to know the family she never
knew existed…and finds a brand new romance
that just might change her life.
Based on the popular stage production of the
same name, Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns is a
charming story about the joys of family, and the
possibility of second chances. Tyler Perry's Meet
the Browns was written and directed by Tyler, and
produced by Reuben Cannon. --© Lions Gate
