"I Oughta Punch You in the Face!"

OMG I am in love with Madea!

I came home sick today, the hideous flu bug is eating me alive. Thinking a little daytime TV might give me the will to live I turned on "Diary of a Mad Black Woman". Lord Have Mercy, this movie is a riot! Madea is the utterly fab gun totin' grandma played by Tyler Perry, and she is an absolute hoot. Here are a few of her lines:

(To anyone) "I am a diabetical. I got to eat!"
(To Brenda, Helen's husband's new girlfriend) "I ain't scared a no po-po. Call the po-po, hoe! CALL THE PO-PO HOE!"
(Brenda) "If I call the police, they're gonna be here in ten minutes" (Madea) "Okay. Then that leave me nine to beat the mess outta you" (Brenda) "I know taekwondo!" (Madea) "And I know whomp-your-arss!"

If you haven't seen this movie, go immediately to the video store and rent it! Every time Madea is on screen, you'll be dying with laughter.

KT, I was thinking the same thing. I LOVE that movie, but never thought it would be one that mom thought was funny. Madea is hilarious, every seen she is in has you laughing your butt off.

Seriously sisters, I am right there with you. And I promise, I didn't hack into mom's blog and write this. Who are you lady? Get well quickly and watch some Viggo stat. This is something I'd watch on my sick day, not you!

Okay, I'm dying with laughter just reading this. And I HATE these type of movies (hate, hate, hate anything with Martin Lawrence and the likes). Maybe it's going to have to be our next rental since we finally just went out to a movie for the first time in a year. What can I say, we're homebodies.

def. you should watch it! I hate all those kind of movies too (as the bloggers point out) but this one is so funny.
