DVD Reviews of Madea Goes to Jail (The Tyler Perry Collection)

DVD Review: Not good
Summary: 1 Stars

This was not the movie as I was to believe. It was a play on dvd. I felt like that should have been in the description and I never saw that anywhere.

Summary: 5 Stars

Very inspiring. Love the part about the break up and looking out for you and knowing who is in your corner or not. Great lessons to learn or be learned, plus it's funny, beautiful men to oggle over and beautiful songs to get you through it. LOVE IT!

DVD Review: Bawdy, loud, simplistic and politically incorrect. . .but I loved it. . ..
Summary: 4 Stars

"Madea Goes to Jail" is yet another bawdy, simplistic and politically incorrect live musical play in Tyler Perry's long-runnning comedy franchise. As Mr. Perry plays her, Madea is a big, busty, pistol-packing and hot-tempered southern grandmother/matriarch who stands six-foot five and packs a solid wallop. Like so much soap opera, Madea's stories center around the travails of work-a-day folks: sex, incarceration, adultery, drugs, violence and the meaning of family, church and God in the Black community (this DVD has at least one surprise: Brian Hurst's portrayal of the lone[and rare] White character blends right in and appears by far to be the most talented of the cast's male singers). All of this may be a bit over the top, but Madea is undeniably funny and she's always entertaining. Yes, sometimes the overamplified singing (replete with excessive vocal gymnastics) is just too much--no one seems to have heard of the less-is-more concept. But judging from the size of the arenas Mr. Perry plays, that may be what his vast--and surprisingly diverse--audience demands. And who are we to insult anyone else's taste? Anyone looking for heavy realism and accurate, true-to-life downers need look elsewhere. That is obviously not Mr. Perry's calling. If his message of preachy uplift turns someone's life around for the better, then who are we to complain? Those who pontificate about Perry's tendency to traffic in stereotypes would do well to remember that these were not created out of thin air: stereotypes spring from REALITY!
No one would ever mistake the "Madea" musical-comedies for "Phantom of the Opera" and the audience knows (or at least should have some clue as to) what its in for. Aside from the works of the late great August Wilson (to whom Mr. Perry certainly CANNOT be compared), there has been precious little in mainstream theater that has reflected Mr. Perry's demographic.
I tend to like Mr. Perry precisely because he has no pretensions about creating "high art." His Madea is never afraid or hesitant to let it all hang out, warts and all. She knows how to have a good time. Likewise, the playwright knows his audience, he's exceedingly generous and he never falters on delivering what he does best.

DVD Review: Meda goes to Jail
Summary: 1 Stars

This is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. totally Stupid.Tyler Perry is a good actor too but this did him no justice.

DVD Review: Madea; Tyler Perry creation;
Summary: 4 Stars

Tyler Perry has the ability to make viewers believe that he and Madea are two different people. Madea tries to make a difference in peoples' lives and in the end, she does succeed. Although the story is good; I prefer seeing a movie and not a play on film.
The theme, or message, was enjoyable and well done.
