Madea Goes to Jail Ratings & Reviews
- SelinaOctober 2, 2025Funny and quite emotional
- Michael SurberApril 8, 2025You either like Madea or not but Tyler Perry's series of movies featuring her are always pretty funny. This was one of the better ones in my opinion. Madea as an OG in orange prison garb is just flat out hilarious in my opinion.
