Turns out there is real proof that America is in crisis. Is it the unemployment numbers reaching double digits? The plunging stock market? Increased home foreclosures? No, it's the fact that Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail was #1 at the box office for the second straight week.
And no, I haven't seen Madea Goes to Jail. But I'm still confident that it's crap. Why? Because it's been done before, and I already saw it back in the 80's. It's called Ernest Goes to Jail. And that was a festering turd of a movie.
And you know what? This is not the first time a film of this caliber made it this far. This is actually the third movie I've noticed in this disturbing trend. Remember my post on Beverly Hills Chihuahua? That was the first offense. The next time I noticed it, it was for Paul Blart, Mall Cop. I was so horrified at this development that I couldn't bring myself to blog about it. But now with Madea, our bad movie alert level has just been raised from yellow to orange, and I feel it's my civic duty to make this plea:
PLEASE, go see something else. ANYTHING ELSE. If you haven't seen it yet (or even if you already have), go see Slumdog Millionaire. Amazing movie. There's a reason it's getting so much press. Spend your money on that one.

You actually SAW Ernest goes to jail??? I am not sure what that says about you.
And HOLD UP. Don't - DO NOT - mess with my Kevin James. He is funny. I haven't actually SEEN Paul Blart, HOWEVER, I KNOW it is not in the same category as ERNEST or MEDEA.
HOW.DARE.YOU.
KEVIN JAMES IS ACTUALLY FUNNY.
why you gots to hate on a sistah?
Its ok they come out with these "dumb" movies, but only 1, please! I mean, if they started coming out with 8 other paul blart movies, then we have to be worried. Example, not just ernest goes to jail, but he went to camp, saved christmas, was scared stupid, was in the army, went to africa, was a slam dunk and a treehouse hostage. Thats scary
