Madea Goes to Jail **
Tyler Perry's latest addition to the Medea saga includes his patented mix of the outrageous matriarch, her dope-toking spouse Joe, and their dutiful son Brian (all played by Perry himself) along with colorful side characters and a story centered on attractive young people delivering an earnest moral message. There's even an over-the-top scene at a wedding, another staple, and a few topical cameos by figures you'll recognize. It's a winning combination played broadly. Don't expect subtlety; just relax and enjoy the show.
