Get ready for the comedy blockbuster of summer 2025!

This time, the action moves from the living room to white sands and palm trees.

The ensemble cast brings even more laughs, featuring familiar favorites like Tamela Mann, Cassi Davis, and David Mann alongside newcomers Diamond White and Xavier Smalls. As the family unpacks old grudges and hilarious secrets under the tropical sun, Madea proves once again that no beach is safe from her bold advice and bigger-than-life antics.
