I heard an interesting discussion of the wildly popular "Madea Goes to Jail," the most recent movie in the "Madea" series, on WPFW tonight. I haven't seen any of these movies. Two recent articles in the Washington Post about this movie were mentioned-- First, a generally positive review by Philip Kennicott:

and an excoriation by Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy:

They made me a little curious about this film, which took in one-third of the film receipts last weekend, because, as the host of the WPFW show (Terry Kester) said, film is the literature of now.
Hmmm. Guess I'm not as curious after watching this trailer though:
