But fans were totally shocked to Brendan O'Carroll appearing as the Mrs Brown in the movie.
It turns out Mrs Brown is the great aunt of Tim's friend Davi, and is therefore invited to the celebrations.
"It's a match made in heaven or in hell, depending on who you ask," said Perry.

"I reached out and called Brendan up and we had a conversation and realised this was something special and we had to figure it out. It took about five years but we finally managed to pull it off. This project came along and we decided to do it together," he told the Irish Independent.
Meanwhile, Brendan O'Carroll added: "It is very humbling. When you look at the career that Tyler has had, it's been a meteoric rise, he doesn't stop. But I know how hard he has had to work to get there. So to see that express train coming and be on it and a part of it was amazing."
The newest film in the Madea franchise, the movie also stars Brandon Black as Tim, Isha Blaaker as Davi, Gabrielle Dennis as Laura, Geneva Maccarone as Sylvia, Amani Atkinson as Richard and David Mann as Mr Brown.
