To Tyler Perry, From a Colored Girl.
1 December 2010
PLEASE STOP DIRECTING!!

I had a feeling I was done for when I saw the corny, student film style opening credits (For Colored Girls, For Colored Girls, For Colored Girls...) Uck!!

Peel away your ego Tyler Perry!!!!! Hint: someone else directed Precious, that's why it went as far as it did!!

You should have let someone like Baz Luhrmann direct "For Colored Girls..." I've seen and read this play and I've always loved it! The film could have been so much better!

The other actresses were SO great that you should have hired unknown actresses that were actually strong actresses to play Janet Jackson's role, Thandie Newton's role, and Whoopi Goldberg's role.

Janet Jackson was PUSHED. I didn't believe her. Janet needed to train her voice, she was in her throat when she confronts her husband with her fake tears. It look like you guys were adding tear drops at every take. FAIL!

Im a HUGE Whoopi fan but i didn't like her either. Viola Davis would have been stronger.

Perry I wish you would stop directing. You have money now, produce! And, find good directors to take over the projects you're interested in.

Perry waste good actor's talent. I want to see Kerry Washington, Kimberly Elise and Phylicia Rashad get Oscar nods, but because of you it's probably not going to happen. If a good director worked on this production they would all be nominated, they're amazing!!!

I've seen and read the play, "For Colored Girls..." it's fantastic!!! If Tyler Perry wanted to keep the poetry as he did he should have made it a musical like the stage production or let someone like Baz Luhrmann direct it. A more talented director wouldn't have actresses breaking into poems in the middle of a scene, just because. He needed to find a more artsy and less disturbing way of adding the poetry.

Thandie newton should NOT be cast in "urban" films. She has not perfected the accent or the behaviour and it's disturbing! She takes away from the beauty of those characters. She's a spoof of what that character should be.

It's OK to hire more unknown actresses!!! If their talented, like Tessa Thompson, your productions would be so much better!! We don't need you throwing Janet Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg in our face. We don't care. THEY CAN'T ACT!!

Tyler Perry sensationalized bad situations instead of appropriately directing a tragedy.

Disappointed!
