First Tyler Perry Movie - It Was....
September 26, 2017
.In-your-face blunt and darkly dramatic, but at the same time, hilarious! Tyler Perry's Madea says what we have all thought, and does what we wish we had done! It's all very black and white, right and wrong, good and bad - no gray - like the old movies from Hollywood. Quite refreshing!
Note: Not a kids movie, but a thinking adult's movie.

not the Madea movie you are looking for
October 24, 2018
I was expecting it to be funny. At first, there were some bits that were humorous and reminded me of other Madea movies but as it went on, it lost it's humorous side and seemed to be more of a drama than a movie. I finally called it quits when the song started playing about 2/3 of the way through.
I think what really bothered me about it was the fact that every major antagonist in the movie was white. Here and there is fine but to have every person who is present to cause some negative scene, to which Madea or the other main characters has to react, be a white person is racist. If the tables were turned, it would be all over the news. Quit trying to instigate racism. Just make a movie with a good story line and have people of all races, genders, and creeds play roles. It's supposed to be for entertainment and not a political statement, right?

This was another funny show and serious all at the same time. Watched this with my Mother she is 84 years old. My Mom loves Madea. We ended up watching 3 different Madea movies tonight and this was one. There are some cussing as always. We are both adults so its nothing we haven't heard. My Mom laughs so hard during these movies that makes it half the fun.

In classic Madea style, there are a handful of funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I also liked what they went for with the side (non-Madea) plot in it's redemptive nature. However; I didn't like its ending and I think it took too much screen time away from the funny section where Madea was actually in jail. I had a good time with this film overall and it was worth a watch on Prime, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it or watch it again.

Madea is funny. However, there is a very serious story behind it which makes forget sometimes that you're watching a comedy. This is actually not bad but a nice contrast to Madea's funny craziness. Good movie.

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail ...
One of the funniest of Madea( Ma----de----a), ever made.
Please, watch it and tell me if you don't laugh , you have a laughing issue.

Not only laugh out loud many times but an underlying story with a morale. Tyler Perry is genius, whenever I need to get in a better mood I'll watch one of his films.

Tyler has one thing that is likeable by anyone and everyone, he is continually giving advice to young kids, to adults and the general public. He injects religious believes that affect those who are watching any of Tyler's movies. It's great the way he depicts the life that is typical of African Americans. He has done a great job. He surrounds himself with singers that you don't find easily. Great singers. Tyler and all his crew, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
