The End With Tyler Perry Background Funny Tyler Perry
Lionsgate
You may know Tyler Perry best as his gun-toting, Bible-wielding alter-ego Mabel "Madea" Simmons, a fictional character Perry admitted is modeled after his aunt and late mother, Willie Maxine Perry, who passed in December 2009. "My mother is the wisdom of Madea, but my aunt Mayola, that's her wig, that's her voice, that's her gun in the purse," Perry told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2006. "Madea is the PG-rated version of Mayola." Aside from playing the Madea character, Perry is also a successful writer, director, producer, and founder of his own production studio in Atlanta. Not counting OWN television shows like The Haves and the Have Nots, The Paynes, Love Thy Neighbor, and If Loving You Is Wrong, we combed through the filmmaker and playwright's best work to date. Say heller to our top 32.

32. Madea's Tough Love
In 2015, Perry tried his hand at animated comedy with Madea's Tough Love. Though he didn't write or direct the live-action film, his beloved fictional matriarch Madea Simmons takes center stage in a kid-friendly flick about a group of disadvantaged kids who enter a sports competition to keep their local recreation center open. But because the hour-long cartoon is void of Perry's usual family drama, it pulls in last on our list.

30. Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor
Perry film regular Lance Gross starred in this sexy drama, alongside R&B singer Brandy Norwood, Vanessa Williams, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell, who played his love interest, Judith. Everything was good in Judith's world—until she fell for the wrong guy. Again, the 2013 film is yet another derivative of a Perry play—this time The Marriage Counselor—but due to its lack of continuity throughout, it fell short of our top 20.

29. Tyler Perry's I Don't Want To Do Wrong
Perry has a knack for entertaining audiences while delivering hard truths. I Don't Want To Do Wrong excelled at enveloping those teachable moments in humor. However, the ensemble cast didn't quite deliver the one-two punch of comedy that fans were used to from Perry's usual suspects, such as Madea, Uncle Joe, Mr. Brown, and Aunt Bam.

28. Tyler Perry's the Haves and the Have Nots
You may already be a fan of the OWN hit The Haves and the Have Nots, but the TV series actually began as a play. Featuring recurring characters Hattie (Patrice Lovely) and Floyd (Palmer Williams Jr.), the drama centered on the privileged Willis family and the funny family that worked for them.

27. A Madea Family Funeral
Back in March 2019, Perry revealed that he was finally saying farewell to the Madea character. A Madea Family Funeral is the last movie in which fans will see the silver-haired senior. Although, despite the title, fans can breathe a sigh of relief that Perry didn't kill Madea off in the entertaining flick. "I'll be 50 this year and I'm just at a place in my life where this next 50 I want to do things differently," Perry told CNN. "She's also run out of things to say in my point of view. So if there's something else for her to say maybe one day she'll return but for right now, no, I think I'm done."

26. Good Deeds
In Perry's 2012 film Good Deeds, Thandie Newton portrayed a tough-as-nails character Lindsey Wakefield, a struggling single mother working as an office custodian by day. Until, that is, Perry's character Wesley Deeds swoops in to show her the good life. Gabrielle Union also stars in the film as Perry's well-to-do fiancée, Natalie.

25. Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club
Speaking of single mothers, Perry celebrated five of them in this 2014 comedy led by Nia Long and Amy Smart as women who forge a bond despite their differences. Single Moms Club was an uplifting movie, and, at times, even laugh-out-loud funny. Though the premise was a wee bit predictable, Perry's move away from his go-to narratives resulted in a memorable film.

24. Nobody's Fool
Tiffany Haddish continues her hot streak in Perry's November 2018 movie, co-starring Whoopi Goldberg, Tika Sumpter, and Omari Hardwick. With Goldberg and Haddish at the helm, the film had the potential to be a lot funnier. But what we appreciate most is the sisterly bond between Haddish and Sumpter's characters, as the two siblings' differing personalities eventually collide.

23. Tyler Perry's Madea Witness Protection
Ask any Perry fan, and they'd tell you his Madea character is practically synonymous with jail and courtrooms. But in Madea's Witness Protection, the sassy grandma was actually on the right side of the law. In the 2012 film, she opened up her home as a safe haven to a troubled married couple, played by actors Eugene Levy and Denise Richards. The feel-good film didn't rank higher because it's missing the spontaneity and laugh-until-you-cry moments of some of his better works.

21. Tyler Perry's Madea's Neighbors From Hell
Perry has dabbled into everything from marriage woes to family sparring. But in Madea's Neighbors From Hell, Madea takes on her neighbors after she gets a hunch that something wasn't right with the family next door. She stops at nothing to get the bottom of it in what turns out to be one of the most successful plays on Perry's resume.

20. Tyler Perry Presents Peeples
Perry is the co-writer and producer on this 2013 interpretation of the classic Father of the Bride. In it, Kerry Washington and Craig Robinson starred as a soon-to-be-married couple. However, before they could walk down the aisle, Robinson's character needs to meet the parents and ask for Washington's hand in marriage. There was just one thing: her father was a bit...strange. Like, sneaking off to nudist sweat lodges kind of strange. Bu the valuable lesson Peeples taught about preserving family traditions is why it comes in at 20.

19. Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Perry has made audiences laugh at every major holiday, including Christmas and Thanksgiving. Boo 2! was no exception, a sequel presenting characters Madea, Bam, and Hattie on haunted campgrounds. Admittedly, audience squeals are more from laughter and not fear, but it's a treat worth watching with the family on Halloween—only bested by its predecessor.

18. Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas
Madea headed to the countryside in this seasonal charmer, bringing her own wise-cracking dose of Christmas cheer along with her. Tasked with helping a family reunite, the 2013 holiday release was full of hysterics as Madea lobbied as Santa's little helper.

17. Madea's Big Happy Family (The Play)
Miss Shirley (played by Chandra Currelley-Young) enlisted Madea and Aunt Bam to assist with getting her family together. Part of what made this play one of Perry's best was when his character Madea went off-script and the impromptu jam session between the characters began. However, the stage production paled in comparison to the movie adaptation.

16. Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself
This 2009 film was one of the better pairings of Henson and Perry, though the eponymous stage show was miles better. Mary J. Blige, Gladys Knight, Adam Rodriguez, and Brian White also joined the cast. Here, Henson portrayed a nightclub singer burdened by her grief, family, and alcoholism.

15. Tyler Perry's Aunt Bam's Place
Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) finally got her moment to shine in a solo production without her trusted sidekicks Madea and Hattie. All the same, by the end of the play, we missed the pistol-packing grandma and Hattie's crass humor.

14. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?
Sequels very rarely do the original justice, which might be why Why Did I Get Married Too faltered. The four couples return to work through their marital problems we first learned about in the first installment, but the premise wasn't as enticing as it was with the 2007 film. Still, it was hard for us to rank anything starring the legendary Cicely Tyson lower than 15.

13. Tyler Perry's Madea on the Run
Once again, Madea found herself in a high-speed chase with the law. The thrills didn't stop there, though, in Perry's latest live production. It wasn't as exciting as seeing her threaten her cellmates behind bars, but the jokes still landed.

12. Tyler Perry's Madea Gets a Job (Stage Play)
When Madea had to fulfill her community service requirements at a retirement home, the employees and residents got plenty of unsolicited advice by the fast-talking elder. The live music, written and produced by Perry, pushed this one high on our list.

11. Boo! A Madea Halloween
Oddly enough, Perry's style of writing and directing actually worked in the horror genre. Okay, Boo! wasn't exactly A Nightmare on Elm Street levels of scary, but it did check all the boxes: rowdy teens, serial killers, paranormal activity, goblins, and zombies. Madea cursing at a ghost and running for her life was comedy gold.

10. Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family
The reason the 2011 movie (as opposed to the play, #17 on our list), earns the top 10 distinction is because of this one line delivered by singer and actress Teyana Taylor: "Byrooonnnnnn." But there are also some stellar performances by Loretta Devine, Shannon Kane, and Natalie Desselle Reid.

9. Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion (The Play)
Attending any class reunion is an awkward experience, but imagine what it'd be like going arm-in-arm with Madea. The southern mama headed to the Pandora Hotel for her 50-year class reunion, but the guests weren't ready for the laugh-a-minute lessons Madea had to give.

8. Tyler Perry's What's Done in the Dark (The Play)
Who knew a routine checkup could be so comical? Between Mr. Brown (David Mann) not knowing his prostate from his tonsils, to secret affairs in the hospital among the staff, this fan-favorite had fans shedding happy tears from beginning to end.

7. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail
There was a lot to unpack in the 2009 film starring Keshia Knight Pulliam, Derek Luke, and Viola Davis. For starters, there's prostitution, an upcoming wedding, corruption, and prison. And that's just the first half. Madea Goes to Jail doesn't earn high marks because of its robust storyline and characters. The top 10 placement comes courtesy of those knee-slapping, spit-take scenes of Madea in jail.

6. Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Perry's best work always traces back to his stage productions, including Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Helen (Elise) found her strength and support system after her husband left her and filed for divorce. Tyson, per usual, was stellar. But Shemar Moore and Steve Harris gave solid performances as well. Released in 2005, the movie solidified Perry as a praise-worthy director.

5. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns
Another one in the long line of Perry's family dramas, except this one had the added bonus of award-winning actresses Angela Bassett and Sofia Vergara. Meeting the Browns wasn't as groundbreaking as meeting, say, the Fockers, but the acting was far more believable in this 2008 film. The riotous Brown family is also what made the movie a top-five pick.

4. Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys
A Family That Preys went places, both literally and figuratively. Perry's 2008 feature allowed viewers to ride shotgun as Alice (Alfre Woodard) and Charlotte (Kathy Bates) made their Thelma-&-Louise style trek cross-country. But in the midst of their adventure, chaos erupted back home. This top five-er showed Perry when he's at his best: Practicing restraint while delivering a script full of substance, heartbreak, and triumph.

3. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?
Four couples went on a marriage retreat in Perry's 2010 revamp of his play of the same name. It's Perry's most convincing body of work; he didn't gloss over the real-life problems partners face in relationships, but instead tackled them head-on. Plus, the cast of characters were so diverse, every viewer could find someone to relate to.
