Faq
Q
Why does Cora call her father "Mr Brown"?
A
It's not adequately brought out in the movie (it IS talked about in the play and in Madea's Class Reunion (2003)) that Cora [Tamela J. Mann] had lived for 52 years knowing the man next door simply as "Mr Brown" before she suddenly learns that Mr Brown is her father. Old habits are hard to break.
Q
A Note Regarding Spoilers
A
The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.
Q
Is this movie based on a book?
A
No. Meet the Browns is based on a play of the same name, written in 2004 by the film's director Tyler Perry. Meet the Browns is the third movie in the Madea series, in which Perry stars as southern matriarch Mabel "Madea" Simmons (among other characters). It was preceded by Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) and Madea's Family Reunion (2006) and is followed by Madea Goes to Jail (2009) and I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009). A sixth movie, Madea's Class Reunion, is supposedly in the works.
