We Rank 9 Tyler Perry Madea Movies From Worst to Best

Tyler Perry’s Madea movies are his bread and butter films. Critics hate these movies, but millions of fans love them, and as long as they pay to see Madea, she will live on. (Well, as long as Perry want’s to play her.)

For those not in the know, Madea is the main character in a series of films and plays where Tyler Perry plays a tough, older black woman that’s something of a “tribute” to his mother and aunt. Apparently, they are two gun-toting, “Hallelu-yer”-shouting forces of nature. While some Madea movies are hilarious and enjoyable, others are nothing more than a mediocre shell of a film.
