After a high-speed car chase, Madea (Tyler Perry) winds up behind bars because her quick temper gets the best of her.

When Candace winds up in jail, Madea takes the young woman under her protective wing.

FIRED UP (PG-13)

Cast: Nicholas D'Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer

Shawn (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick (Eric Christian Olsen) are top scorers on the Ford High School football team…both on and off the field. When they hatch a scheme to trade their footballs for pom poms and join the school's most beautiful girls at cheer camp, the new team members actually give the girls' historically awful cheer squad a chance at success. And when Shawn falls for the head cheerleader (Sarah Roemer), the boys must learn some new moves and unleash their inner spirit to prove their intentions before the all-important cheer competition finals.
