Brian (Tyler Perry) has to go out of town for Halloween. His daughter Tiffany (Diamond White) feels that she is old enough to stay at home alone while he is gone and asks her friend Aday (Liza Koshy) to stay with her. Brian finds out that she is planning to sneak out and go to the Frat party down the street. He calls in Madea (Tyler Perry) and the crew to babysit and keep the teens in line. Of course, they frighten the old folks with stories of a murder and ghosts inhabiting the house. Madea sees through the ruse and tracks them to the Frat party. From there, it becomes a contest to see who can outsmart who and stay out of trouble amidst all of the Halloween mayhem.

This was not a very good movie. I generally like the Madea films. They are usually family-centric and have a good overall message. This one was a garbled mess. I had a hard time even understanding what Madea's friends were saying. It may have been funny but I couldn't understand them. There was too much focus on pot. Not really funny. And, the costumes that the 17 year-old girls were wearing were so inappropriate. I was fairly disappointed in this film. I laughed a little but it was not nearly as good as I thought it could have been. The acting was actually painful. Of course, most of the crowd was eating it up. Just not me. I would say skip this one and maybe the next one will be back to normal standards.
