Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family (2011)

Plot Summary
Madea, everyone's favorite wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners grandma, jumps into action when her niece, Shirley, receives distressing news about her health. All Shirley wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family. But Tammy, Kimberly and Byron are too distracted by their own problems: Tammy can't manage her unruly children or her broken marriage; Kimberly is gripped with anger and takes it out on her husband; and Byron, after spending two years in jail, is under pressure to deal drugs again. It's up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter...and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.

Water for Elephants (2011)

Synopsis
Based on the acclaimed bestseller, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August -- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.


The Good
With “Water for Elephants,” Christopher Waltz proves there’s no better actor than him at doing bad guys. His August is so demented and compelling, he makes everyone and everything pale by comparison. Lovers of a good and touching animal story, as well as fans of Pattinson will also duly enjoy “Water for Elephants.”


The Bad
“Water for Elephants” had all the right ingredients to become the next big thing: a bestseller, a wonderful story, A-list stars. Perhaps fearing that he’d lose a segment of the audience, Lawrence compromised and made it into a glossy, rather shallow and soulless narrative, from which viewers will probably take very little when they leave the theater.


The Truth
“Water for Elephants” will be a hit with fans of the original book and, of course, a chunk of the huge “Twilight” fanbase. It’s not an extraordinary film, but it does have moments of pure brilliance. It’s a relief to see that Hollywood is still perfectly able to make a movie that, at the very least, aims to be different.
