Madea Goes to Jail Trailers

After a high-speed car chase, Madea winds up behind bars because her quick temper gets the best of her. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Josh Hardaway lands a case that's too personal to handle: that of a young prostitute and former drug addict named Candace. When Candace winds up in jail, Madea takes the young woman under her protective wing.

Granted, you don't expect much from a Madea movie. I expected some fun foolishness. The are a few silly Madea segments but too much of the movie is a poorly written, poorly acted soap opera about a prostitute and the lawyer set on rescuing her. Really bad.

I just wanted to watch this one day. I liked some of Tyler Perry's projects with Madea (nah, just the Madea Christmas Play) and decided to see this. And oh this sucksur. This tried to make a cliched "help people from the underground out of trouble." Alright, first the dude married to the evil lady is the only good actor. He put emotion into this meaningless project. Let me explain why.Madea. Why is this character even here? I'll admit, I laughed at times, but she was completely unnecessary. This wasn't supposed to be Madea's story, it was supposed to be the poor girl's. It made another subplot to make her go to jail, but it had no payoff.The payoff was for them to go to jail. What? Why did they have to go to jail? So useless in many ways. The girl didn't have to go to jail and Madea had no time to bond with her in prison.Super cliched, mediocre to bad comedy, terrible acting mostly, no reason to be in jail and it's the main title but takes up the minority of the time.

Unless you want to watch a movie about prostitution don't watch this movie. This movie has the slowest moving plot that seems to revolve more around a district attorney trying to help out a childhood friend turned prostitute than it with Madea going to jail! This movie is a waste of time

I'm really not sure why this film is getting such a bad rep. on IMDb, but the general public LOVED this one. What a winner! The two different plots in the this film were brilliant! This way, the movie had a little bit of everything. The whole time I was on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't say the two different stories "meshed" well, but there was a great moral to be learned. My favorite thing about this movie, and all of Tyler Perry's films, is the wonderful "feel good" mood they leave you in. His productions can always brighten the day. Enough said, this movie was more than satisfactory. Some people are clearly just too hard to please.
