Another comedy drama from the staples of Tyler Perry as Madea winds up in the middle of mayhem when she spends a haunted Halloween fending off paranormal poltergeists while keeping a watchful eye on a group of desiruptive kids teens.
Mr. Perry is ... an eccentric, inspired performer, and his screen-filling antics as the raucous but righteous Madea - a character who runs through Mr. Perry's stage, film and TV work - is the truly pertinent component here.
"A Madea Halloween" is rare for Perry in that it's one of only two "Madea" films not adapted from a stage play, but it sure feels like one, with several scenes ... feeling like a one-act, one-room play that goes on and on and on.
The fans will probably be pleased, but the most interesting thing about this one is how Perry finesses playing scenes with himself in three different roles.
Boo! is certainly the most watchable Madea movie I've seen in a long time, even though I get the feeling Perry still doesn't know how to direct for the screen.
