Meet the Browns Ratings & Reviews
Regina Anguay
April 3, 2025
I'd like to finish watching the whole movie,please.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
After taking some steps toward maturity and shades of grey in his last film, Perry takes a step backward, retreating to broad schtick and black-and-white formula.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Moral: guns, basketball = interesting; hospital beds, recovery time = dull, and therefore unnecessary.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The importance of faith, church, kin, staying off drugs, sharing food, repenting from sin, forgiving sinners, appreciating a good black man, rejecting a bad one, and honoring black matriarchy is enumerated with typical, reassuring Perry broadness.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Unlike Diary, the drama here is buoyant enough to handle the contrast of its too-silly slapstick.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Meet the Browns is packed with raucous dinner-table banter and broad double takes; sometimes the gags are funny, but usually they're just trying too hard.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Meet the Browns is lots of fun -- light on the Jesus-ifying and heavy on showcasing some very talented African-American performers whom audiences don't get to see often enough. You'll be glad to have been introduced.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
To appreciate Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns, there's really only one requirement: Loosen up.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
There are a few laughs and some touching moments, but nothing you couldn't get by watching episodes of Good Times and Little House on the Prairie back to back.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Meet the Browns is saddled with the usual quotient of phony snafus and entanglements that are easily untangled.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Eventually something's got to give, and the slapdash feel of Meet the Browns hints that [Perry] might need to give himself a break.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
An adaptation of one of his stage plays, Meet the Browns gives off the distinct feeling that Perry is treading water or at the very least is content to satisfy his audience with the minimum.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Meet the Browns, the latest Tyler Perry film, has a good heart. But it's a mess of a movie.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
It's Tyler Perry's aesthetic in a nutshell: strong, suffering female protagonists, no-good men, clear-cut ethical quandaries, schizophrenic tonal shifts handled as gracefully as bumper-car collisions, and a complete absence of moral ambiguity.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It'd be nice if [Perry] took more time to think about lighting and staging a scene -- but hey, he really doesn't have to.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film demonstrates all too vividly its creator's penchant for soap opera-style melodramatics, absurdly broad comedy and offensively stereotypical characterizations.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns often plays more like Tyler Perry's Greatest Hits as it recycles various elements from the writer-director's earlier works.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
[Perry's] films are hardly realistic, but they aren't exercises in pure escapism either. They offer comic relief and moral correction. And if they feel corny and hokey at times...that is partly because they make everyone who sees them,
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
If everyone is going to be out there seeing a Tyler Perry movie this weekend, I don't mind that they're seeing this one.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Praise Jesus that Tyler Perry found Angela Bassett.
