Perry’s performance is a spectacular piece of high-wire burlesque. There’s an extraordinary spontaneity to it.

While expansively anarchic to a fault, the movie’s anger, and its pride, is convincing.

Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip feels like it's trying too hard to earn that hard R rating.

Somehow, the "quality" of Tyler Perry's storytelling feels even worse when a positive, meaningful message is attempted, this time through the prism of Madea-universe regular Joe, a crass, nonsensical conduit for Black History 101...

Despite a more overt message than we're used to from Mr. Perry, Joe’s College Road Trip feels stuck in the same tired rhythms — recycling broad caricature, nonsensical plotting, and humor that rarely rises above offensive.

Can someone tell Tyler Perry that he doesn't have to keep doing this. He has to be doing well, right? Like, he has plenty of money already, doesn't he?

Terrible! Shame on you, TP! The message had potential but the raunchiness and vulgar language overshadowed everything. Im very underwhelmed and appalled by this film! Take it off Netflix immediately!!!!

Not for the usual "Madea"fans. Too raunchy and cringy. Unnecessary sexual scenes.

Brilliant film, reminds me of euro trip era of comedy. Few jokes in here has me crying. It's a fun and playful comedy that most won't even try today. Judging by some of the wet wipes reviews on here, I can see why we don't have any decent comedies these days. They all sound like Joe at the beginning of the film.

TP just isn’t the same anymore. This movie really missed the mark. I was surprised by the unnecessary "corn scenes," excessive cussing, and derogatory language that was included. It felt overdone and took away from the overall experience and message. Beware! 0/10

NGL, I LOVED this film. I found it HILARUOUS and wacky in all the ways I love lolol. Some of it was so over the top in the classic TP universe of film. Underneath the raunch and slapstick is a heartwarming story where we see 3 generations of a family learning and growing together. And we learn more about why Joe is the way he is.Would definitely recommend for those not prone to fake outrage and who havent been trained to dislike TP by default (while making sure to watch ALL his films)

This was one of the most raunchiest movies I’ve ever seen. I love most of Tyler Perry movies however this one is very inappropriate for Netflix. The over use of vulgar words and sex scenes/gestures floored me. I thought it would be a normal funny movie but it is not ! Can’t believe Netflix even allowed it on their channel. My mom who is 80 yrs old loves the Madea movies but also was very disappointed in the filth. Parents BEWARE if you allow your children to watch Netflix alone!
