Spike Lee may have a problem with Tyler Perry -- the two have been having a public war of words -- but Mr. Perry's longtime studio, Lionsgate, certainly doesn't. It just signed him to another three years. It's not surprising: Mr. Perry has consistently shown Hollywood the magnitude of an underserved black female audience as no other director has, and now studios are struggling to keep up (for example the coming ''Jumping the Broom''). The relationship between Mr. Lee and Mr. Perry is fascinatingly inverse: male-skewing perspective versus female; Northern sensibility versus Southern; jazz-rap orientation versus gospel-R&B. Fortunately it's a big movie tent. But in box office Mr. Perry is winning. As he probably will with ''Madea's Big Happy Family,'' his latest comedy-drama, which had its premiere in the same Good Friday berth that his ''Why Did I Get Married Too?'' enjoyed last year (though not to the same results). ''Family'' offers Mr. Perry's signature ingredients: multiple subplots; a Southern setting; and broad comedy, florid melodrama and inspirational Christianity, tossed together with an almost slapdash elan. Not to mention the voluble Madea Simmons (Mr. Perry in drag), the gun-toting grandmother with a short fuse, dispensing old-school sagacity and no-nonsense tough love. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
