The film was directed, produced, and written by Tyler Perry, who also makes an appearance in the film as his signature character Madea. The film is not an adaptation of Perry's play of the same name; the film doesn't use the same storyline as the play, only the title. April , a selfish alcoholic singer, is performing at a nightclub where she works. On the other side of town, Madea and Joe catch Jennifer , Manny , and Bryan breaking into their house. After hearing... the children’s troubles, Madea welcomes them and feeds them. Jennifer tells Madea that they’re living with their grandmother, who they have not seen in four days. They tell Madea that their only other relative is their aunt April. April shares her home with her shady boyfriend, Randy , who’s married with children. The next morning, Madea brings the kids to April's house, but April doesn’t want to be bothered.
