I'm sorry to write this down, there is so much haters around here! people that don't know anything about movies whatsoever.don't write a review after reading the "expert critics" those journal critics are so lame they are full of sorrow, dreams that they didn't accomplish, its sad to see the beautiful work from Tyler Perry, getting so much hate.GREAT MOVIE!!! personal opinion here shouldn't be used as review, there is a lot of kind of movies, people that like horror, thriller, drama, comedy.if you don't like, please don't be a hater!

...when white voters stop assuming the movie is about the Birmingham bombing of 4 black church girls and actually go see the movie themselves.Or if you have an issue with Tyler Perry, then just remember he is the highest grossing filmmaker of 2010 (behind James Cameron). So he must be doing something right.And another thing, if you just don't understand black films or the idea that they are successful black people in society with high paying jobs, then you need to watch more than the Andy Griffin Show and All In The Family.Basically, go see the movie and then review it. Don't make assumptions.Just wanted to put my two cents in.

So I just watched Tyler Perry's adaptation of Ntozake Shange's play whose title is shortened here to For Colored Girls. It's quite a compelling drama about all these African-American women and the repercussions of their various tragedies. Each actress-Loretta Devine, Phylicia Rashad, Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington, Anika Noni Rose, Kimberly Elise, Thandie Newton, Janet Jackson among them-brought their own dramatic talents to the fore which helped when it came time for the poetic monologues to be recited. I do have to admit that some of those passages were distractingly obvious when mixed with the more realistic dialogue but most of them were also very moving. In fact, since this was the first time Perry used material not of his own making, his touch isn't completely recognizable which is a good thing here. So on that note, I highly recommend For Colored Girls.
