Tyler Perry has his formula down! As a movie-goer you will welcome MADEA back with open arms. She is funny, real, and tells it like it 'TIZ! The real story woven into this film is the story of forgiveness, redemption, and acceptance. It also teaches us to recognize the humanity in each other, no matter what mistakes we've made in our past. MADEA offers some very good, common-sense advice to us about taking "personal responsibility" for our actions. You will laugh, cry and cheer for MADEA GOES TO JAIL!
The original still stands on its own, why re-invent the wheel? If the original story-line had been faithfully followed, with today's special effects it WOULD have been a blockbuster! Hollywood laid a big egg on this one.
This Tyler Perry film is the best I have seen this year. The story-line of family and friendship, devotion and betrayal was realistic and very relateable. All of the actors in this ensemble were pitch-perfect! The friendship between the two lead women was heart-warming, and rang true. Many life-lessons to be learned here. Thank you Tyler for this "gift".
