After a high-speed car chase, Madea (Tyler Perry) winds up behind bars because her quick temper gets the best of her. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Josh Hardaway (Derek Luke) lands a case that's too personal to handle: that of a young prostitute and former drug addict named Candace (Keshia Knight Pulliam). When Candace winds up in jail, Madea takes the young woman under her protective wing.

One of my favorites from Tyler Perry! You get your typical life lessons with a lot of laughs. There is Also some very good acting and singing in this one. Everyone would laugh at this movie.

Some funny moments, but it seemed like Madea was in it less often than I expected and it was very much focused toward a Christian aspect. I felt like I was being preached at rather than being entertained.

<FONT FACE="Maiandra GD " SIZE="-1"> Pointless.... Disturbing.... It's so bad, my face hurts from laughing while crying. Wonder how this can be classed as a film?
