Tyler Perry had an interview with Thando Thabethe

Tyler explained how he never follows the rules when making his films. A Madea Homecoming follows her great-grandson’s graduation celebration from college. In true Madea fashion, all hell breaks loose as the family meets in her house for this celebration.

A Madea Homecoming might be a comedy, but it tackles serious issues like Race, the LGBTQ, and the subject of Marijuana.
