To paraphrase William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” Act 2, Scene 3, and give it a twist, “I have not come here to bury ‘Madea,’ but to praise him-her.”

“A Madea Family Funeral” is the 11th in the feature film comedy series by actor-writer-director-producer Tyler Perry, who again plays the title role. Perry has said this is his final outing as family matriarch, Madea (introduced in “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” 2005).

In the latest, and last, installment, Perry also plays Madea’s brother, Joe; Joe’s son, Brian; and a new character, Joe’s brother, Heathrow, a paraplegic Vietnam War veteran.

In “A Madea Family Funeral,” a family reunion trip to Georgia becomes a test for the family when a death results in secrets being unearthed.

The family plot frames the usual Madea shenanigans, visual spoofs and bad puns and jokes — so bad you might find yourself laughing at them in spite of yourself.

Perry’s dialogue humor is typically silly.

When it’s remarked that several animals must have been killed for a fur that a woman is wearing, the response is that it’s a faux fur. “Yeah, it cost about $4,” is the retort.

Perry’s often raunchy humor is juvenile at best and distasteful at worst. Still, it’s frequently funny.

Madea again has her share of Goldwynisms, or non sequiturs, and word mix-ups.

Madea and her sidekicks, Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) and Hattie (Patrice Lovely), provide the interplay of a female Three Stooges. Perry devises ridiculous situations for his characters and then makes them even more ridiculous.

Memorable in supporting roles are Ciera Payton (Sylvia), Kj Smith (Carol), Quin Walters (Renee), Aeriél Miranda (Gia) Jen Harper (Vianne), Courtney Burrell (A.J.), Rome Flynn (Jessie), David Otunga (Wil).

Perry’s multiple roles in the “Madea” series are akin to Eddie Murphy’s multi-role movies (“Norbit,” 2007; “The Nutty Professor,” 1996; “Vampire in Brooklyn,” 1995, and “Coming to America,” 1988). Perry’s acting is impressive.

“A Madea Family Funeral” is filmed in style, camera setups, editing and lighting similar to that of a television show. That’s not surprising since the situations are similar to TV sitcoms.

Words of wisdom are again dispensed by Madea. As with all good comedy, there’s some truth to it.

“A Madea Family Funeral” is another amusing installment for those who enjoy the outrageous Tyler Perry character. Farewell, Madea. It’s been fun to know you.
