MADEA GOES TO JAIL (2009)
SYNOPSIS
At long last, Madea returns to the big screen in Tyler
Perry's Madea Goes To Jail. This time America's
favorite irreverent, pistol-packin' grandmomma is
raising hell behind bars and lobbying for her
freedom...Hallelujer!
After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea (TYLER
PERRY) in front of the judge, her reprieve is short-lived
as anger management issues get the best of her and
land her in jail. A gleeful Joe (TYLER PERRY) couldn't be
happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric
family members the Browns (DAVID and TAMELA
MANN) rally behind her, lending their special "country"
brand of support.
Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua
Hardaway (DEREK LUKE) is on the fast track to career
success. But Hardaway lands a case too personal to
handle - defending young prostitute and former drug
addict Candace Washington (KESHIA KNIGHT PULLIAM)
- and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Holmes
(ION OVERMAN) to fill in on his behalf. When Candace
ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman,
protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.
