Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid Mann (Leroy) and Tamela J. Mann (Cora) are in reality, married. Tamela is only two months older than David.
- GoofsL.B states that Brenda is a product of his father's old ways, long before he married the mother of Leroy, Vera and himself. However, this would make Brenda older than the three of them, and it is clearly obvious (and also stated) that Brenda is the youngest of them all.

Featured review
Meet the Browns (2008) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a single mother with three kids that recently lost her job. She gets an unexpected inheritance in the south and decides she may as well see what she received. Her and her children get to know an entire new side of their family and she may find love in the process.
This movie is directed by and stars Tyler Perry (I Can Do Bad All By Myself) and also stars Angela Bassett (Strange Days), David Mann (Madea Goes to Jail), Lance Gross (House of Payne), Rick Fox (He Got Game), Frankie Faison (Coming to America) and Margaret Avery (The Color Purple).
This is an underrated Tyler Perry movie that gets over criticized. The cast is outstanding and the chemistry is solid throughout. The characters are very fun and Mann delivers an entertaining performance. The dialogue is hilarious and there's some good zings. I really enjoyed the storyline being a healthy mix of romance and comedy. There's a dinner scene in here that's legendary. There's also uncertainty and doubt as the story unfolds and I enjoyed the unpredictable nature of the relationships.
Overall this is a worthwhile Tyler Perry picture that I would strongly recommend. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
