For Colored Girls

Well...I'm sorry to say, but I was not a big fan of Tyler Perry's rendition of For Colored Girls.

The main thing I have to say is that it should remain a play and only a play. That could just be my opinion, but I really felt like Perry's use of the monologues really didn't translate on film. I found the film way too melodramatic and over acted on several accounts.

I understand that this movie is supposed to be a very serious, very dramatic film, but half the time I just wanted to laugh. That makes me feel like a horrible person, but it's the truth. I think that Perry could have done a better job at modernizing the story for contemporary viewers.
