Meet the Browns (2009–2012)
8/10
Over The Top But Don't Miss The Message
31 May 2012
This show is a winner for me. Some may not agree with the lack of quality but with all of Tyler Perry's work this show is about family and healing. Tyler Perry conceptualized his plays from his car where he was living. He had a nightmare childhood and I sense that he is healing with every new play or movie and many of us are healing with him. He has gone on to feature several homeless people in his movies and that message of healing is the theme that runs through everything he does. As it pertains to character acting and portrayal a good example in Meet the Browns is that of David (Mr. Brown) and Tamela Mann (daughter Cora) who are a married couple in real life and are both in reality, accomplished gospel singers (Kirk Franklin). David Mann is very different from the character of Mr.Brown. Mr. Brown is way over the top but that ridiculous humorous portrayal zeroes in on today's social issues. Many may not appreciate the delivery and the total ridiculousness of the show but the message is there and I appreciate all of Tyler Perry's work and let the healing continue! This show "cracks me up"!!
