Madea's Big Happy Family

Last night we watched Tyler Perry's movie Madea's Big Happy Family.  What I like best about the Madea movies is that they are so funny, but usually have a good theme to them, too.  In this movie, a mother named Shirley finds out she has only a short time to live, and she tries to get all of her grown children together as a family so she can tell them the news.  This proves to be a difficult task, as each of her children have their own issues they are dealing with.  Madea steps in to help Shirley get the family together.

My favorite line in the movie was towards the very beginning.  Shirley is given the bad news from her doctor, and her response to him is this:  "Everyday that God gives us is a gift.  And when He stops giving it to me, I get to be with Him."  Granted this is a movie, but what a lesson to us all in how to react when tests and trials come our way!

It was a great movie, but did have some language.  Here is the movie trailer:
