After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea 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 couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members the Browns rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway 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--and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Holmes 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.

Another week, another Tyler Perry movie. This time, Madea goes to jail. It takes almost an hour and a half to get her there (Perry's movies have daytime-television pacing), and, predictably enough, she does not go quietly. The women's prison dramedy I wanted never really happens. But in between court dates, Perry - who wrote, produced, and directed the movie, and bedrags himself as the title's obscene outlaw granny - finds a lot of time for his standard adventures in self-help tedium.
