Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticHow old is Tyler Perry’s spitfire matron Madea? Her age isn’t specified (I’d say she’s in her mid-70s), but whatever it is she’s that many years young. She has a sneaky-dog irascibility that won’t quit. And Tyler Perry can’t quit her.
He had hinted that “A Madea Family Funeral,” in 2019, might be the last Madea outing. But the pandemic changed his mind. I say that with or without it, Perry would have returned to Madea, because she’s more than his greatest hit — she’s his unleashed id, the character he’s addicted to playing because she expresses so many of his angels and demons.Of course, she’s also an eternal crowd-pleaser.
The first Tyler Perry movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” (which included an appearance by Madea), was released 17 years ago today. At the time, he’d already been doing Madea onstage for years. But Madea, as a character, has now attained the status of folklore.
I’ve seen and reviewed nearly all of Perry’s films, and if you asked me if I’m a Perry fan, I’d say “on and off,” by which I don’t mean that I like some of his movies and dislike others. I mean that in almost all his comedy/soap-opera mashups, there are moments I love and others that leave me shaking my head with an okay-he-didn’t-just-do-that disbelief. That’s the Tyler Perry mix: the good, the bad, and the ugly, the sincere and the outrageous, the clever and the amateur, the diabolical and the banal, all rolled up in a big goodbye hug of a “Love yourself!” message.

Eva Longoria, 47, has been a TV staple for nearly 20 years. After making her debut in the soap opera The Young and The Restless in 2001, the actress gained more attention and was cast as the leading role in Desperate Housewives in 2004. While she’s had many dramatic relationships on-screen, the actress has had a few well-publicized romantic partners in real life, and she’s been married three times. In 2016, she wed José Bastón, and the two seem so in love.
