lilianjacentp: i think i have watched all Madea movies.....can't choose the best...Madea goes to jail, Madea's family reunion or.....
MrsNeurosurgeon: watched Madea Goes To Jail(play) last night...always enjoy watching @ChristianKeyes do his thing
runawayyslave: Watched madea goes to jail , and it's all cute and all , but really how many men would feel comfortable to date an ex-prostitute?
banterousharry: @HausOfDJMalik I've seen the play on youtube. It's really sad. I also watched Madea goes to Jail play version and movie. I didn't like it.
