Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Catch Me If You Can, start here.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 54 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

For years, mild-mannered Wall Street banker George Needleman has meandered through life oblivious to his family's dysfunction and his company's malfeasance, but he's forced to wake up when he learns that he's been framed in a mob-backed Ponzi scheme. Placed under federal protection, George and his family are shipped down South to Madea's house, where the no-nonsense matriarch whips them all into shape using her special brand of tough love.
