VIDEO FLASH: Cast Members Discuss Working with Tyler Perry on Madea’s Big Happy Family

In anticipation of the November 23 release of Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family on DVD and Blu-ray, Lionsgate has released a video clip in which cast members discuss their experiences on the play and working with the acclaimed performer-director.

The show focuses on Miss Shirley, an aging single mother who has just received a diagnosis of terminal cancer. With the help of Madea (Perry), she assembles her grown children (and their significant others) for one final reunion. The DVD features the stage production which toured the country earlier this year. As previously announced, Perry is at work on a big screen version of his script.
