(1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1   2/5 "perhaps Perry's time in the limelight may be shorter than he -- or his fans -- think."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "Perry might be out to create a community spirit in theaters across the country, but, again, that doesn't excuse his thick-fingered mangling of dramatic expression and his questionable taste in racial caricatures. Meet the Browns is a stinker."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 "Praise Jesus that Tyler Perry found Angela Bassett."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "Well, it took five tries, but Tyler Perry has finally made a good movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/5 "Does take a preachy direction in the final half, it's otherwise a fulfilling experience with all around great performances with some raucous laughs to be had..."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2/4 "Atlanta-based playwright-turned-entertainment mogul Tyler Perry's fourth feature may be his most awkwardly plotted, cliché-ridden effort to date."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "This isn't a movie: it's a buffet at which... Perry piles your plate with spoonfuls of absurd melodrama, a taste of gritty urban drama, a heaping of cheap cartoon, and a big side of corn."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "Meet the Browns is packed with raucous dinner-table banter and broad double takes; sometimes the gags are funny, but usually they're just trying too hard."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 5/10 "Tyler Perry continues his exploration of the sense and sensbility of the African-American community with this fun-loving celebration of the possibility of second chances."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "Overall, 'Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns' is not as multi-layered and spiritual uplifting as a the previous films, but it will still appeal to his usual fan base."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1
