Brace yourselves, folks.
Another Tyler Perry movie is on its way to the theaters. Seems like the dude brings at least two feature films to the theaters each year, which would be an amazing feat... if they weren't the same exact fcuking movie.
A bitter, disenchanted single BLACK woman who finds redemption in the arms of an understanding good BLACK man. Mind you, the male lead in I Can Do Bad All By Myself may be Latino/HispanicAfro-Cuban - I guess Tyler wanted to 'shake things up'.
It's getting pretty tired... SERIOUSLY. This dude doesn't not know anything about Black women. He says that he loves them and maybe, he really does, but he doesn't know about our complexity, nor does he care to find out. He makes money; his @$$ is parked on Oprah's couch as often as Jennifer Aniston, so life is good and his films are just 'good enough'.
Yes, I know that he co-produced Precious, which is getting some early Oscar buzz, but dude didn't write it nor did he direct it. Dude is simply not interested in improving in any avenue of his so-called talent - the money is pouring in... all is good.
Maybe he should crack open a book about film history or something - maybe he would realize that he should skip the tired retreads and just make a full-blown Madea movie. Just look at the Marx Brothers - their best films were Duck Soup and Horse Feathers, because the boring, 'straight' storyline was removed. Perry says that being in the Madea drag is grueling to go through - well, so are your fcuking movies, Tyler!!
Seriously, dude, it's time to step things up because the idea of you being the first and last word in current contemporary Black film would be a depressing thought, indeed.
