This is my favorite Madea movie! I found it's pacing to be seamless whereas I've found the previous ones to have story pacing which was disconnected from one act to the next. Some titles came close to seamless but didn't quite manage it. "Homecoming" nails it the whole way through. This one flows without effort and that includes the surprises as well.
I read a recent article where Mr. Perry indicated he had previously retired from doing Madea but brought this together from a need of laughter and positivity. I hope he reconsiders and does more Madea movies in the future. Since he made the GENIUS decision to include the actor and character of a similar role in the UK, my guess is that he and the Madea crew will find a lot more requests going forward. Maybe Madea can introduce us to a friend or relative from her past that is similar to herself, who could then carry the torch so Madea can enjoy retirement. One can hope.
