Madea remains a distinctive, weirdly compelling character. Maybe someday Perry will make a good comedy for her.

Mr. Perry is ... an eccentric, inspired performer, and his screen-filling antics as the raucous but righteous Madea - a character who runs through Mr. Perry's stage, film and TV work - is the truly pertinent component here.
Glenn Kenny, New York Times

This comedy is unlikely to win over any new fans, but the devoted will find comfort in the familiarity.
Kimber Myers, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
At 103 minutes, this film has way too much dead weight. Scenes are repeated over and over, and some of the acting would not cut it in a school play.
Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com
Rotten
"A Madea Halloween" is rare for Perry in that it's one of only two "Madea" films not adapted from a stage play, but it sure feels like one, with several scenes ... feeling like a one-act, one-room play that goes on and on and on.
