Tyler Perry’s latest venture has swiftly become another streaming success, just in time for the holiday season. In recent years, the actor and filmmaker best known for his Mabel “Madea” Simmons character has offered up some noteworthy dramatic entries, including the World War II movie The Six Triple Eight and TV series Beauty in Black. Now, Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy is a certified hit.
The drama follows a designer who is stranded in Colorado during the holidays after making a devastating discovery, and is set on a new path to love and fulfillment. Finding Joy was also written by Perry and stars Shannon Thornton, Tosin Morohunfola, Brittany S. Hall, Inayah, Aaron O’Connell, Eric Stanton Betts, and Jeffery Thomas Johnson.
Finding Joy premiered on Amazon Prime Video on November 5, and a week later, it is the No. 1 title overall on the streaming platform in the United States, according to Flixpatrol. It comes in just above the holiday classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey. At No. 3 is Wicked (available to rent/purchase rather than stream), No. 4 is fellow holiday movie Red One, and No. 5 is Hedda.
When TV shows are factored in, Finding Joy is also ahead of two of the streamer’s biggest returning series, Maxton Hall – The World Between Us and Hazbin Hotel, which was the No. 1 Amazon show in the world upon the premiere of season 2. Though it may be a typical holiday dramedy, Perry’s name and writing chops are clearly enough to attract a dedicated audience, no matter the project.
Finding Joy isn’t garnering the best reviews (nor enough to get a Rotten Tomatoes score yet), with a 4.5 out of 10 on IMDb. But like the middling entry of The Six Triple Eight, which has a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences seem to be willing to meet Finding Joy on its own terms. While the previous movie did its job in highlighting a true story, Finding Joy delivers the heartwarming and funny beats of a light holiday feature.
Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy ultimately emerged as one of the best movies to watch on Amazon this past weekend (November 8-9), despite its flaws. Meanwhile, Perry has several more writing and directorial projects coming up, including a threequel to the comedy franchise Why Did I Get Married? The prolific filmmaker will likely continue to be a crowd-pleasing artist who attracts huge audiences if not critical acclaim.
