Lionsgate is having a lot of fun promoting Tyler Perry's upcoming film, 'Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family,' with spoofs on several Oscar nominated films.
Having done a lampoon on 'The Godfather,' and 'Black Swan,' which is up for this year's Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Madea now takes on another two more Oscar nominated films, 'The King's Speech' and 'True Grit.'
Madea, everyone's favorite wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners grandma, jumps into action when her niece, Shirley, receives distressing news about her health. All Shirley wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family. But Tammy, Kimberly and Byron are too distracted by their own problems: Tammy can't manage her unruly children or her broken marriage; Kimberly is gripped with anger and takes it out on her husband; and Byron, after spending two years in jail, is under pressure to deal drugs again. It's up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter...and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.
Written and directed by Perry, 'Big Family' stars Shad "Bow Wow" Moss, Loretta Devine, Cassi Davis, Lauren London, David Mann, Tamela Brown Mann, Isaiah Mustafa, Rodney Perry, Shannon Kane, Natalie Desselle Reid, Teyana Taylor, and Perry (as Madea and her brother Joe)
The film will be in theaters April 22, 2011.
