Madea Goes To Jail

Nội dung phim

After a high-speed freeway chase (as seen in Meet the Browns) puts Madea (Tyler Perry) in front of Judge Mablean, her trial is short-lived because the police officers did not mirandize Madea causing the judge to give Madea an anger management course. After the trial, Brian (Tyler Perry) drives Madea, Mr. Brown (David Mann), and Cora (Tamela Mann) back home from the court. At her house, Madea sees lots of people around and in her house that it must be Joe (Tyler Perry) who started. She got angry that she threw all the people out of her house with a machine gun. Meanwhile, assistant district attorney Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke) is on the fast track to career success. But, Hardaway lands a case too personal to handle - defending a young prostitute and drug addict, Candace Washington (Keshia Knight Pulliam), whom he is apparently already acquainted with and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Davis (Ion Overman) to fill in on his behalf. But when Josh takes Candy out to eat and gives her his card in case she needed any help, selfish and heartless Linda fears Josh may be cheating on her, and she doesn't want Josh spending time with Candy, threatening to leave Josh and telling him he shouldn't be helping people like her, in which he should only socialize with upper-class people like himself and Linda.

In the car, Cora, who are driving, told Madea about her anger management resolutions. During the middle of the conversation, the Cadillac CTS cuts ahead of them. After both of them crossed the intersection, Madea instantly smashes her daughter's car into the car ahead, causing it to deviate sharply to the right. After this, one of its passengers (Miiya Tanaka) shot Madea in the head. At Dr. Phil's office, Madea consults with him for anger management course, but did not go well as Madea answers a question with a same question he asks. Back in Madea's house, Madea called Cora for sitting in the beauty salon for over 5 hours. While on the phone, Cora asks for some time with herself, causing Madea to get angrier than before. After another incident strikes at K-mart store when Madea forklifts the Pontiac Solstice that just parked next to the Toyota AE101, she madly got away from the store as the woman called her husband about the incident what Madea had caused. A couple of hours after Madea ruined the woman's car with the forklift, the SWAT team is dispatched to Madea's house and they immediately arrest her. Madea again goes to court with Judge Mathis presiding over her case. After he reviewed Madea's record, he sentenced Madea to jail for 5 to 10 years. Outside the court house, Ellen (Viola Davis) asks Joshua how he knows Candace. He tells Ellen that they were close friends from childhood through college, until one night when he took her to a party. He accidentally ended up leaving Candace behind at the party, where a group of his friends gang raped her, causing Joshua to feel heavily sorry for his mistake. Joshua asks Ellen if she could try to help Candace out. She agrees and gets her a job interview in which the interviewer sexually harassed her and she ends up kicking him in the groin and storming out his office.

At the district attorney's office, Joshua's friend, Chuck (RonReaco Lee), another lawyer, runs into Linda, whom he discovers is falsifying Candace's file to deliberately get her sent to jail, and apparently has been doing this with other defendants as well, including Madea and Candace's friend Donna. Linda tells him to keep his mouth shut or she'll tell the head ADA that Chuck cheated on his bar exam to get his job.

Candace runs away from Josh's apartment and is back on the streets working as a prostitute again until she gets picked up by an undercover cop. When Candace ends up in jail, she discovers Donna (Vanessa Ferlito) and Madea are in jail. While in jail, Madea befriends Candace, protecting her in a "motherly" way, and fights with Big Sal (Robin Coleman) who always bothers Candace. Candace, Madea, and Donna all attend a class taught by Ellen at the jail, mostly to get time off of their sentences.

On Joshua's wedding day, Chuck, who is Joshua's best man at the wedding, tells Joshua that Linda had falsified Candace's file to get her sent to jail and away from Joshua. During the wedding ceremony, Joshua tells the entire congregation with their boss in attendance what Linda did. Josh leaves Linda at the altar while still in his wedding tuxedo. He then rushes to the jail where he kisses Candace and admits that he loves her. Because of the now-revealed news of Linda's tampering with client files, there is a public outcry and a protest movement gains momentum to set Madea and the others free. Candace, Madea, and some other women that Linda prosecuted have their convictions overturned and are released, while it is heavily implied that Linda will go to jail for her crimes. Madea goes home with Mr. Brown, Cora, and Brian along with Candace going home with Joshua.
