This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I only liked the Madea parts. The other parts, I didnt like them. I didn't like when that dude hit that woman and I didn't like when that dude was humiliating that girl. If the movie would have been all about Madea, it would have been way better.

I just wanted to watch this one day. I liked some of Tyler Perry's projects with Madea (nah, just the Madea Christmas Play) and decided to see this. And oh this sucksur. This tried to make a cliched "help people from the underground out of trouble." Alright, first the dude married to the evil lady is the only good actor. He put emotion into this meaningless project. Let me explain why.Madea. Why is this character even here? I'll admit, I laughed at times, but she was completely unnecessary. This wasn't supposed to be Madea's story, it was supposed to be the poor girl's. It made another subplot to make her go to jail, but it had no payoff.The payoff was for them to go to jail. What? Why did they have to go to jail? So useless in many ways. The girl didn't have to go to jail and Madea had no time to bond with her in prison.Super cliched, mediocre to bad comedy, terrible acting mostly, no reason to be in jail and it's the main title but takes up the minority of the time.

Unless you want to watch a movie about prostitution don't watch this movie. This movie has the slowest moving plot that seems to revolve more around a district attorney trying to help out a childhood friend turned prostitute than it with Madea going to jail! This movie is a waste of time

Joshua Hardaway seemingly has it all. That way of thinking changes when he runs into somebody that meant very dear to him, Candace, His girlfriend Linda gets fed up and tries to ruin Candace. Meanwhile, Madea runs out of chances and is sent to jail. Honestly? I didn't think this movie was all that. I'm a Madea fan, but this movie is a bit overpraised for my liking. It piles on the melodrama and I wasn't as emotionally involved as I should have been. It's a typical Perry story, but it does have some good things in it. I like Tyler because he can laugh at the raunchy things, while maintaining his beliefs. He can let loose and have fun. His passion is evident and I really like him. Josh and Candace's story is sweet and heartwarming. I also enjoyed Linda's character. (Ion Overman) for a while. I didn't think she was "truly" evil. I just thought she was like a lot of people. She doesn't understand what it means to be less fortunate. I really disliked how they went OTT with her and made her do despicable things. It didn't ring true for me. It felt like they were trying to add more melodrama for the sake of it. I was disappointed that Perry resorted to such clichés. Madea being in jail is amusing, but not as funny as you may think. I don't mind this movie. It's just not one of my favorites. If you wanna see some great work from Perry, check out "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" , "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" , "Good Deeds" "Family That Preys" , among others. 5.5/10
