Synopsis
Madea Goes to Jail (2009) is an American comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, written, directed, and starred in by Tyler Perry. After a high-speed car chase ends badly for everyone involved, the larger-than-life Madea finds herself behind bars — and the prison population was not braced for her.
At the same time, assistant DA Josh Hardaway (Derek Luke) catches a case he can't be objective about: the defendant is Candace, a young sex worker and former drug addict he knew growing up. When Candace ends up in the same facility, Madea takes her under her wing in the only way she knows how — loud, blunt, and more effective than anyone expected.
Based on Perry's stage play, the film assembles Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sofia Vergara into an ensemble that swings between broad slapstick and real emotional weight. Perry's comedy hits hardest when it quiets down. Stream Madea Goes to Jail (2009) online on iFILM.
