Film Review - Not Another Church Movie
May 09, 2024
Madea made her cinematic debut in 2005’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” It was the beginning of something for creator Tyler Perry, who has spent the last 19 years building a media empire on the back of his most popular creation. It’s amazing that there hasn’t been many Madea parodies in circulation, but perhaps broad comedy can’t match Perry’s cartoon character. Writer/co-director Johnny Mack takes a shot at the king with “Not Another Church Movie,” which attempts to give the “Airplane!” treatment to Perry’s oeuvre, going wild and wacky with all the elements of storytelling the filmmaker has been abusing for most of his career. “Not Another Church Movie” is extremely late to the party, and it’s quite the amateurish production, with Mack determined to generate a no-budget pantsing of material that’s already self-aware.
