This past weekend my parents treated my siblings and I to see the newly released Tyler Perry film MADEA GOES TO JAIL, this highly anticipated film sent us to theaters at 12noon to purchase tickets for the 8pm screening. When my family and I arrived there were no seats left, the entire house was packed with the exception of the first row. As my mom, dad, two brothers, their girlfriends, my youngest sister and cousin took our seats we were the last guest to make the theater jammed pack... Finally the movie can begin. I love the fact that Tyler Perry has followed in the foot steps of Spike Lee by using the same actors in his project. Most of the cast was reoccurring had it been on one of his hit television shows, or his stage plays or another film we had seen most of the actors before. The movie was split into two story lines and while the story line of Madea going to jail was funny, it was certainly less entertaining than the love sequence... It was great to see Derek Luke yet again doing a phenomenal job in another film, and Keisha Knight Pulliams performance was simply short of perfection it saddens me to see that Keisha made her claim to fame as Rudy Huxtable and now she cant break out of it... Overall I would give the film an 8, and still I recommend that we all go out and support it and not wait for it to come on bootleg lol...
