Tijuana Jackson: Purpose Over Prison

Purpose Over Prison is a labor of love hatched in the brain of the incredibly creative soul Romany Malco. The movie is funny, and endearing. While watching the crazy antics of the potty mouth TJ in disbelief, we realize that despite his imperfections he is just like the rest of us. He desperately wants to succeed and most importantly needs the love and support of his friends and family. By the end of the movie you want to see this crazy and oddly intelligent well intentioned character succeed. The movie speaks to the human spirit while utilizing unconventional means to get there.

A small indie film that is actually laugh out loud funny and yet poignant at times too. It felt real and a fun escape at the same time. Had a great message but not preachy. Romany Malco was hilarious as TJ, a character you can't help but fall in love with and root for, as was each and everyone of the rest of the cast. The dialog is peppered with great lines and quotes many of which I assume will end up on the front of some t-shirts! In fact there were so many great lines, I will have to watch it again to catch some of the banter I missed while laughing out loud! Watch this movie and then tell all your friends - I predict this is going to be BIG!

Loved TJ and his whole tribe. They made me laugh, made me think and warmed my heart. The kind of movie I want to watch a bunch of times just to catch all of TJ's TRUTHS.

Such a well written and directed film with amazing acting, classic dialogue. It's fun. Romany Malco nailed it.

No BS, this movie was a masterpiece. The movie really dropped gems inside the laughs. The dialogue was pure gold. Romany write, directed, and starred in the film and really knocked it out the park! Well worth the wait. The actors all delivered!
