Holly on Hollywood
“Boo 2”
by Holly McClure
“Boo 2! A Madea Halloween” is the 10th Tyler Perry “Madea” film that revolves around Halloween. When Tiffany (Diamond White), turns 18 she gets a brand-new Mini Cooper from mom and stepdad – over her dad Brian’s (Tyler Perry) objections. First thing she does is go to a local college fraternity’s annual Halloween party at Lake Derrick with her best friends. But Madea (also Perry) knows it’s a bad idea and decides to follow/spy on her along with Joe (also Perry) and friends – in case anything goes wrong….which of course, it does. Taja V. Simpson, Cassi Davis and Patrice Lovely also star.
The PG-13 is for sexual references, some drug content, language and some horror images. At the party young people start disappearing because of a chainsaw-wielding madman and a pair of creepy twins with crazed murderers on the loose at a spooky campground. Madea and friends argue and curse non-stop. Joe loves to talk about weed (smokes a joint) and makes constant crude references to being a pimp that turns creepy kind of when he tries to flirt with his granddaughter’s teenage friend. There are nonstop sexual innuendos/jokes, and lots of post-production dubbing, where it becomes obvious that words like “bullcrap” wasn’t the original word used. Tiffany is mostly unlikable, selfish and bratty – she lies and cares more about hooking up with a frat guy than staying safe. And Madea isn’t as over-the-top as she’s been in previous movies, which is sad because that’s what makes Madea funny. Even devoted fans will be disappointed by “Boo 2”. Although it has a few moments of laughs and positive moral lessons about parent-teen and grandparent relationships, overall, the flat jokes, running gags and thrown together script – isn’t as funny as it should and could have been.
