Madea Gets a Job is a 2012 American stage play created, written, produced, and directed by Tyler Perry. It stars Tyler Perry as Madea "Mabel" Simmons and Patrice Lovely as Hattie. The live performance released on DVD on February 5, 2013 was recorded live in Atlanta at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in June 2012.

Plot

Hard times (and the judge) caught up with Madea and she is forced to come out of retirement to go to work. Remember, since she is still on probation, Madea is not a star candidate for employment. A job at a nursing home would make Madea's employer never be the same after one day. The comically outspoken Madea gives counseling and advice to nursing home residents, staff, and family which positively improves their outlook and personal relationships.
