Madea Halloween Movie Review

Improved Essays
In a month known for horror and costumes, you can count on Boo! A Madea Halloween to get you laughing this October. The movie stays true to the Madea movie series, providing humor through over the top character interactions, most stemming from Madea herself. This time, however, two famous Youtubers have joined the cast, making the movie even more enjoyable.

The movie starts off by introducing Jonathan, the president of a fraternity that’ll be hosting a Halloween party at night, played by Youtube star, Yousef Erakat. Soon after, characters Tiffany, Rain, Leah and Aday are introduced as they are invited to the Halloween party by Jonathan and boys of the fraternity. Aday, played by Youtuber Liza Koshy, is hesitant to join, but is persuaded by Tiffany, played by Diamond White. The dynamic between Aday’s religious and conservative character versus Tiffany’s outgoing personality already brings laughter to the theater.

Then Tiffany’s father Brian, also played by Tyler Perry, arrives and scolds the girls for interacting with the fraternity. Later he forbids Tiffany from going to the party, the conflict of the movie established. However, the movie truly begins when Madea and her elderly entourage— Aunt Bam, Hattie, and Uncle Joe— are

Brian is weak towards Tiffany’s rebellion as he tries to be her friend rather than an authoritative figure. Madea disapproves of this and constantly urges him to towards violent means. The parent and child conflict concludes with Madea’s forceful help as both sides realize their faults. Although the moral of the story is enlightening and emotional, it was hurriedly done towards the end of the movie in preference for more comedic chaos. The conflict between Tiffany and her father was subpar and so was the resolution. It was more so used to segway into the movie’s final humorous

    Bad Jews Play Summary

    In Joshua Harmon’s scathingly funny play “Bad Jews,” opening at the Geffen Playhouse on June 17 (previews begin June 9), two cousins clash ferociously over who has the right to inherit the chai necklace that belonged to their beloved grandfather “Poppy,” which Poppy had preserved during the Holocaust by hiding the chai under his tongue. As the 20-somethings quarrel while sitting shivah for their late grandfather, they represent opposite poles of the modern Jewish experience: Daphna Feygenbaum (Molly Ephraim), born Diana, is an acerbic, self-righteous Vassar senior who has become obsessed with her heritage since visiting Israel and now is determined to study with a vegan female rabbi and to make aliyah. Her equally self-centered and condescending cousin, Liam Haber (Ari Brand), meanwhile, is a profoundly secular student of Asian culture who wants to propose to his non-Jewish girlfriend (Lili Fuller) by…
