Tijuana Jackson (Romany Malco) said in the show: "Seek purpose, and let success find you," and this clearly has a message and a purpose. I also find the 'fly-on-the-wall' filming style fit this kind of story perfectly as it makes it feel more realistic and relatable to many people.

"When I get up out this cage, I'm going to be like stripper glitter... I'm rubbing off on everybody." ~Tijuana Jackson

This film made my so-called sophisticated, professional self embarrassed to laugh, and yet I laughed often and loudly. Over and over again, I laughed at the wet and dry humor throughout this film that would often catch me off guard through the simplest of dialogue. Regardless, at the center of the silliest comments was often thought-provoking truth, and heart, along with a willingness to improve a life, and I figure not much can ever be wrong with that.

On a separate note, the quotes I can pull from this film would certifiably be an instant classic to anyone who doesn't take life too seriously.

Despite conventional flaws; "Tijuana Jackson: Purpose Over Prison" still manages to prove to audiences that it has its heart in the right place.

In this mockumentary, an ex convict on parole is set on becoming a world renowned motivational speaker.

The one thing that stood out for me is that the entire film was shot "mockumentary" style. I expected it to be evident but not this much; nice touch. Romany Malco, who ultimately made this film for his late father, does a decent job at acting, writing, producing, directing and even editing this film. I thought some moments were genuinely funny and smart, while other moments featured things we've all seen in these types of comedies. Overall, it left me feeling good and not like I had wasted 90-minutes of my life. Decent laughs, nice message and good effort on Malco's part.
