For Colored Girls brings to the screen Ntozake Shange's Obie Award-winning play, a poetic exploration of what is to be of color and a female in this world.
I knew just from the opening credits scene that this movie would be nothing more than background noise while doing chores around the house. I love the character of Madea in Tyler Perry's movies. I watch them and try to get through the crazy over dramatic stories and just enjoy the laughs. Once you take that character and the laughs away, the drama is just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. In this movie, you would think that Tyler Perry had some sort of a meeting with Nicholas Sparks and Woody Allen on how to have way too many characters/stories going on and all of them with massive hardships.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Unless you have a need to be depressed and need inspiration to jump off a bridge.
