What is it? Madea (writer/director Tyler Perry in full-bosom drag) practices tough love on miscreant kids, putting them in the hands of their aunt (Taraji P. Henson), a nightclub singer struggling to get her own life together.

Why didn't Lionsgate show it to the press? It's been several years since Perry has shown his work in advance.

Why we'd see it: Perry's work is hugely popular, and "Bad" looks to have his trademark blend of raunch and moral uplift — with musical numbers, too (Mary J. Blige and Gladys Knight are in the cast).

Why we wouldn't: Seems to some of us that Perry keeps remaking the same movie.
