The movies are named almost the exact same thing, and both are named after completely ridiculous characters. So even if the movies aren't alike, drawing comparisons by the layperson are inevitable.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen an Ernest movie all the way through. Perhaps there are folks out there who would take issue with that and make me aware of the complex social issues that are being addressed while Ernest only plays comic relief?
The only Ernest film I seem is ernest scared stupid. But no Ernest doesn't plays a comic reliefs. Ernest films are goofy comedies aimed for children. The same with kazaam.

I see your point on the tittle but at the same time there are a lot of blank Christmas blank goes to blank films that's a common thing to do in the film industry.

I tried to fix your grammar and spelling above, but gave up when I got to that last part.

I have a movie idea for Tyler. How about "Madea Teaches Grammar?"

Allowed me to re-post because you still didn't read, so let me break it down in simple phrases.

So basically you're ignorant of his films
and just want to keep spewing ignorance.
I mean, you can't say you dislike something
you have never seen
or don't know about
to even dislike......... failed

Also attacking someone because you can't respond doesn't make you look smart in fact it makes you desperate and childish.

Very impressive. You must have watched "Madea uses Google" twice.

You might not like him but you should respect him. He has brought in a lot of money/jobs to this region. He is one of the reasons some movies have been shot here because he brought a new "light" to Atlanta nationally. I wonder why he gets so much hate but people are not this negative when a liquor store/etc opens up.

I've seen most of Tyler Perry's work. His movies are mostly poorly written soap operas filled with cliches. I don't think a single film of his has received good reviews.

His plays have been rather entertaining, and some were simply great chitlin circuit fare, but they've gotten pretty redundant recently.
