Family Reunion: The Movie (2003)
This is comedy of epic skill
This film is attempting to land itself into Tyler Perry territory, but in reality is more like a John Waters film from the 70's. The Director may be insulted by that statement, but I LOVED this movie. It tells the story of a couple with a family at odds. Ringworm Black and his wife Gertrude Best hold an annual family reunion, and the year prior Gerts mother got in a fist fight with Ring's brother and the two families are at war. Now at this point I should tell you that Red Grant not only wrote and directed this gong show, but he stars in it as Ringworm and... wait...wait for it.. Ringworm's brother "Snake", in what is essentially a light skinned man wearing a lot of bronzer. Yep, this movie has a black guy in black-face.
The film spends an hour introducing all the family, a menagerie of shallow characters that resemble the cast of a badly written sketch comedy show, and then tries to get dramatic and have heart.
Which is great considering that the film includes a 5 min scene of a guy with violent diarrhea, a woman beating a man with her walker, a grandfather getting off watching 1-900 ads, 3 KKK members get beat up by a minister, the sexualization of potato salad and a guy named Ringworm.
Viva la Family Reunion "The movie" I can't even handle how great the cover of this movie is.........
