'Meet the Browns' is a Woeful Setbacknew
Tyler Perry's primitive film style is no less arrogant than Michael Mann's slickness, but the addition of earnestness and gospel-gangster homilies makes the lack of technique especially offensive. The appalling thing about Meet the Browns is that Perry writes and directs as if his audience had never seen a movie.
