  Following the runaway success of Diary of a Mad Black Woman Perry thrilled fans old and new when he donned his wig glasses and super-size flowered housedresses to star as Madea in the screen adaptation of his play Madea's Family Reunion. Perry reprised two more DIARY characters: Uncle Joe Madea's not-entirely-beloved brother a flatulent curmudgeon with an eye for the ladies; and Brian Joe's level-headed attorney son. Madea's Family Reunion focuses on several related characters each engaged in a life-changing relationship: Madea struggles to forge a real bond with Nikki (Keke Palmer) a rebellious teenage runaway who has been ordered to her care; Lisa (Rochelle Aytes) Madea's niece is questioning her upcoming marriage to Carlos (Blair Underwood) her abusive fianc''; and Vanessa (Lisa Arrindell Anderson) Lisa's half-sister is grappling with her mother's (Lynn Whitfield) life-long animosity towards her while tentatively exploring a relationship with Frankie (Boris Kodjoe) a handsome bus driver. The film's emotional climax arrives at the family reunion when matriarchs Myrtle and May - played respectively by living legends Cicely Tyson and Dr. Maya Angelou -- address the clan's younger generations sounding a clarion call for responsibility renewal and pride.
