Madea Goes to Jail

2009 · 1h 42m · Comedy, Crime, Drama

IMDb 4.6 Metacritic 50 RT 27%

Skip it. The critics have spoken—this Tyler Perry comedy lands in rough shape with a 27% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.6 on IMDb, suggesting the humor doesn't land and the drama feels forced. Unless you're a die-hard Perry fan willing to overlook a rough reception, your evening has better options.

Plot

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, also a childhood friend. When Candace winds up in jail, Madea takes the young woman under her protective wing.
