You're not the 1st guy to say that they don't approach his depiction of men and I realize I don't like the way he depicts people in general!!! Its like he can't pick up on the nuances of people.<br /><br />@MsShionna: I recently saw the play for the first time and now I can truly understand your comment. The play was VERY intense and seeing all of this raw emotion right before my eyes made it even more powerful. It'd be challenging to try and match that on the big screen. I can't lie, I'm still curious about what a female writer/producer/director team would have brought to this project.The Media Elitisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081427788650708951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991298584244903455.post-1080480421972184752010-11-18T13:55:28.373-05:002010-11-18T13:55:28.373-05:00I think it was a decent effort by TP. The problem ...I think it was a decent effort by TP. The problem for me is that I've seen the play twice and there are elements that don't translate from play to movie. While watching the play, the closeness in proximity to the actresses move you in a way that appeals to your emotions, senses, and imagination in a way that this movie doesn't. Also, speaking of imagination, the play suggests what you see while the movie shows what you should see. In this way, the play is more personal because you aren't given an image of what should be there, but you are guided to one, which is yours. <br /><br />Like I said, decent effort, but I feel it could have been groundbreaking with more creativity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991298584244903455.post-72504412704653943792010-11-12T15:01:14.120-05:002010-11-12T15:01:14.120-05:00In my opinion, Tyler Perry equals drama queen.

I've seen maybe 3 movies by him and in each one the plots are very predictable right down to the plot twists...if that's what you want to call them. I'm not knocking the man's hustle because he knows what sells and panders to that like a vulture on a carcass, but it's a shame that he can not write about a functional family, hell at least a semi functional family environment. It irks me to no end to know that when ever a TP movie comes out the man male character is a straight a-hole (not sure if I can curse on your blog). It's a shame that TP continues to pander to this stereotype of black relationships, while I will not dismiss that fact that these types of relationships exists, it's even more shameful that women, who are the main demographic that he is reaching out to, eat it up like a fat kid with a Hostess cake. I go back to a statement I made on another review of this movie, "Come on Denzel, make us look like a half way decent race and gender."Ray Eaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903283992170057609noreply@blogger.com
