** Madea herself, before and after she was sent to prison. Along with her usually cranky personality and penchant for violence, she's been in trouble with the law since childhood and wasn't adequately punished until this film. When word got out, several (but not all) people were in support of her being released even though she really didn't deserve it and given her future actions (like how she drove her car ''through a fast food restaurant'' to deal with the rude cashier in ''Film/MadeasBigHappyFamily'') didn't learn anything from it.

* UncertainAudience: The movie tries to be both a comedy and a melodrama at the same time. Unfortunately, the movie can't decide which it wants to be, confusing its audience as a result.

This is very vague. Also, plenty of people know this film for more than one scene.


* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame: Some people only know this as the movie that inspired the notorious [[Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure Oogieloves]]. The creator got the idea from seeing a showing of this movie where people were interacting with the film.

I'm moving this to the main page and calling it Jerkass Has A Point because even the other characters (Ellen and another attorney who was a friend of Linda's) try to convince Josh to stop helping Candy as well.


* StrawmanHasAPoint: Even though Linda's actions throughout the film were totally wrong and illegal and she deserved her ultimate fate, how would ''you'' feel if your fiancé became obsessed with an old friend of his, especially one that became a prostitute? Furthermore, her stance of not having to become a victim of your troubled upbringing should have carried more weight than the film gave it credit for.

* TruthInTelevision: It's not really that surprising for Madea to become a media darling and her conviction overturned even if she technically has committed felonies and deserves to be jailed. The media does have a tendency to sensationalize criminal cases and even the worst offender can come out looking squeaky clean in the eyes of the public.
