Movie Reviews of Madea Goes to Jail (The Tyler Perry Collection)
Movie Review: The Best Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen all of Tyler Perry's movies and plays, but this is by far the funniest (and best) one. I can only think of a few cons and a whole gang of pros.
Cons: I thought Tyler was a little rough on Chico and I didn't care for the man putting his hands around her neck (during the Behind the Scenes rehearsal). I wonder how she felt about that, but it bothered me quite a bit. The wigs are still horrendous, but I know they save time. Who in the world made Chico's tear tattoos though? I've seen a bunch of tear tattoos growing up and they've always been little, but somebody put tears so big on her face that it looked more like a wet marker. I don't know what was on that lady's bird who sang the song at the end but all that oversinging was driving me insane--she started making this short, yelping noise that sounded like a gun going off and I wanted to pause the DVD and duck down for cover. She made this loud "yiddiddidd" noise and then a bunch of "yay-e-yay-uhs"...it was terrible. That song should've ended before she started impersonating weapons.
Pros: Let's have a moment of appreciation for Mr. Ryan Gentles and Mr. Christian Keyes, because those two men will have you lose your breath more than Destiny's Child. I really hate pick-up lines and I'm deadset against sweating anybody, but THOSE two are the the dudes that you have to stop, look at your homegirl, and go "Did you just see THEM?" Wow! That's all I can say. I thought Ryan was absolutely the finest man ever with dreads...whoa. Ron Andrews playing "Pete the Pimp" was a cutie pie too, but I thought he was older than he really was until I saw Behind the Scenes.
But on to the movie. This movie was incredibly hilarious. Madea going to jail is just scary in general, but I really dug the lessons she tried to express in regards to women who have children but are in jail; the foster care system; officers raping women prisoners; violence in men's prisons; violence in women's prisons; betrayal; cheating; friendship; sexual responsibility; and street life *singing* "You know it's hard out here for a pimp." The movie was excellent all around. I was too ecstatic when Tyler actually SANG several times during this movie and then broke character to talk about playalistics and people who come in and out of your life for their own intentions. I couldn't agree more with the tree analogy.
I'm trying to figure out what I liked more--the behind-the-scenes shot when Ryan growled at the camera or the movie...but that's a tough one.
I'd recommend it to anyone breathing--go see it today! It took me about four hours to get through the movie because I just kept rewinding scenes and falling out laughing again. "Sonny" cracked a joke with Pepsi about "ac'in" and I cracked up and saw that he had the potential to be funny as well and Pepsi was crazy as usual. I really like her singing voice and her comedy, as well as Leo the Lion. My favorite part of the whole movie was the "Old School" scene. I couldn't get enough of that and this movie. And who was on the saxophone? That musician was GETTING IT! Great job, Tyler and all his cast!
