For Colored Girls...The Movie

The hit Stage play and book For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf is now a movie written and directed by Tyler Perry. When the news was first announced that Tyler Perry was to be in charge of this poetic classic, black women everywhere became enraged; already judging the film before it had began production. First they were upset that a man would tell the stories of women of color,second the man was Tyler Perry; I guess maybe they feared he would cast himself as Madea in one of the roles? I'm only guessing.

Nevertheless, everyone whether glad, sad or mad that Tyler is directing,is sitting on edge waiting to see the movie. Originally slated to open in theaters January 2011, the date has now moved to November 5th of this year.
With an all star cast line up, I'm praying this will be an Oscar Award winning movie.
