Lacey had been secretly married to Conner, a white farmer. She then winds up on a trip with her niece Eileen to spend Christmas with her daughter Lacey.
The movie opens with Medea attempting to work at a department store during Christmas season, but she’s quickly fired for her crass treatment of customers. A MADEA CHRISTMAS includes a subplot about keeping Christ in Christmas, unfortunately the comedy is filled with sexual innuendoes and the aforementioned foul language. Madea (Tyler Perry dressed as a very large woman) has been in a series of reasonably popular “B” movie comedies where she says her mind on everything and salts all she says with mild obscenities. It has lots of mild obscenities instead of hard obscenities, and the sex is in innuendos rather than sickening displays. This kind of comedy is a mild version of BAD GRANDPA and deserves extreme caution.
A former boyfriend has a financial solution to fund a Christmas pageant and help the school, but it comes with an onerous stipulation that the pageant not honor Jesus Christ. When Conner’s parents, who know about the marriage, come to spend Christmas with their son, Madea winds up in the middle of the mess generally encouraging everyone to do the right thing, but spewing obscenities all along the way.Ī subplot is that Lacey is a teacher at a small school in financial trouble. Lacey has not informed her mother of the marriage. Lacey, who’s black, had been secretly married to Conner, a white farmer. She’s quickly fired for her crass treatment of customers. A MADEA CHRISTMAS opens with Medea attempting to work at a department store during Christmas season.
