You have to respect what this man's numbers are at the box office. And if you think his films bring in outrageous numbers just because of the African American community, you better think again. Last time I checked African Americans are still a minority in this country.

OMG...IDK WHERE TO START...THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION IS NONSENSE. FIRST THING FIRST MR. PERRY STARTED OFF W/ NOTHING TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST RECOGINIZED WRITERS IN THE ART OF MAKING MOVIES AND PLAYS. I THINK IT IS JUST SAD TO HAVE SO MANY INDIVIDUALS HATING ON HIS CRAFT. MR. PERRY HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT IF HIS MOVIES ARE HITTING #1 WHEN THEY COME OUT. WHY MUST EVERYTHING BE FOUCUSED TOWARD THE RACE CARD. MR. PERRY'S MOVIES ARE NOT JUST FOCUSED TOWARD JUST ONE RACE..HE SAYS IT HIMSELF ALL OF THE TIME. HE JUST CHOOSES TO HAVE BLACK ACTORS AND ACTRESS TO PLAY THE PARTS WHICH I THINK IS AWESOME THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAN OPEN UP DOORS FOR OTHER AFRICAN AMERICANS. I FEEL WHEN YOU WATCH HIS MOVIES NO MATTER YOUR SKIN COLOR YOU CAN TAKE AWAY A LESSON IN LIFE. SO PLEASE PEOPLE NOT LETS BE SO QUICK TO HATE. GOD HAS A PLAN FOR HIM RATHER YOU ALL LIKE IT OR NOT.

I for one like Tyler Perry's movies and stage plays. He has some stage plays that don't even portray the "Madea" character! but no one ever talks about those ("What's Done in the Dark" happens to be one) and what about the movie Daddy's Little Girls with Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union? some people on this site are commenting/whining about "I WANT MOVIES TO CHALLENGE MY EMOTIONS AND DIG DEEPER" (to paraphrase) well please give me an example of what movie/director that has written, produced, directed and even maybe starred in that has answered the call that "challenges to the emotions of the movie going audience"...go ahead im waiting. The bottom line is that we in the african american, latin, asian, white, or whatever audience must be getting exactly what we want out of a TP movie or play or television show because he is still able to produce those projects and get paid handsomely as he does so all the while breaking box office records. I happen to be a lover of movies, music and all things entertainment but there are some movie genres that I don't like so I dont support them or watch them to be disappointed. If you already know that Tyler Perry doesnt produce movies that you like to watch DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY TO SEE THEM...simple as that. Be blessed and have a great day :)

I have a problem with Tyler centering all his films around the black experience.. I think what happens with that notions is you leave people with no options of reaching out to enjoy really good movies with energy,depth,and substance.. I wish his movies would go a little deeper and challenge my mind and my emotions...I want him to develop a more complex character than Madea .... If you seen one Tyler Perry movie you've seen them all...

When I see Tyler Perry films I have to admit I am often bored and not impressed. I cant take anymore of the Madea character. I think its been done to death. I'm hoping that this 2nd installment of Why did I get Married is grittier and exciting than the 1st. I really enjoyed the 1st one and thats the only one of his films I really like. It's good that he is catering to a specific audience, but I wish he would give us something more in his characters. We can take it. I have to say I am glad Tyler Perry is doing well though, some of his movies just arent my cup of tea.

YOU ARE NAMING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE I CAN NAME ON MY FINGERS. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WHITE ACTORS ARE USUALLY IN MOVIES? THEIR ARE MORE WHITES THAN BLACKS, AND I'M GLAD TYLER IS LETTING AFRICAN AMERICANS BE REALLY SEEN AND HE'S NOT RACIST BECAUSE HE HAS HAD WHITE PEOPLE IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS PLAYS YOU FOUND A WHITE PERSON SO DONT GO THERE WITH THE RACE CARD. HE HAS ALSO HAD WHITE PEOPLE IN HIS MOVIES IN WHY DID I GET MARRIED? THE FIRST ONE THEIR WERE MANY STUDENTS IN JANET JACKSONS CLASS WHO WERE WHITE AND THEIR WERE MORE CAUCATIONS WALKING AROUND THE CAMPUS AND THEIR WERE MORE AT THE STORE THE LADY WHO DISRESPECTED ANGIE BY SAYING "WE DON'T KEEP CASH IN THE STORE" SHE WAS WHITE. YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE WHITE ACTORS ARE NEVER STARS IN HIS MOVIES BUT THEY ARE THERE.

Our insatible appetite for comedy, drama, satire, horror, mystery, sci-fi, and the insanely weird is uncanny. Consequently the need for all types of movies is essential to feed our cravings (as they stay in inertia). Tyler Perry along with a host film makers like S. Spielbergs, S.Lee, C.Eastwood and W.Allen whet our appetites. Demcracy is excellent!

I definitely feel as thought your are jealous of his success. He is a talented and blessed man. If he has a revelation to create something that targets a particular audience then so be it. But I would have you know that more that the African American race watches Tyler Perry shows and movies. I suggest you find another tree to bark up because in the end you and no one else can destroy what GOD has already destined. Have a great miserable life.

Is that what mainstream does. I have seen many, many, many films that do not have one Black cast member in them? Is that o.k.? Could your opinion be a little one-sided? Are you saying that as long as a movie is all white it's ok, but if the movie is all Black, it's a problem?

Re: Why Did I Get Married Too? Trailer Will Have You Screaming

Exploitation? Not at all. Tyler Perry is doing what it takes to entertain "his" audience. Mainstream media entertains "their" audience. What's the difference? None!!

Did you not see The Family that Preys...Excellent movie and guess what...white people play leading roles.

Thank you for that list (which I might point out you can count on your hands the number of leading black actors). Now can you please give me the ratio of 1) Black actors to white actors in major motion films and 2) the ratio of Non-minority actors to white actors in major motion films? So often African Americans are made to feel as if it is wrong to take pride in their culture in a mainstream setting (i.e. a major motion film starring a majority black cast). Assimilation and Equality are 2 completely different things. I wonder if a Bollywood director would get so much flack?

The fact that you dont "get" why the core audience stays loyal and keeps packing them in is the MAIN reason why Mr Perry is such an asset to African American patrons in the movie industry...YOU may not particularly care for his films, but his fans do...what is so puzzling about that?..the numbers speak for themselves...OBVIOUSLY its what we want to see..not due to boredom or just eagerness...how insulting...

Another day another bunch of rants because someone dared critisise Tyler Perry.

Audience reaction is the only thing more predictable than his movies.

I feel you. "A Family That Preys" had Kathy Bates. That was a nice change of pace.

I've never understood why Perry's films have to have all-black casts. Isn't that a little racist in itself? I mean, how about star black people... but, infuse a couple white people?

Re: Why Did I Get Married Too? Trailer Will Have You Screaming

Joseph William Greene — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:16:39 -0000

^^Is black and a filmmaker himself.
I agree with you that there aren't many blacks in the spotlight these days besides your Will Smiths and Hale Berry's. It's good to see those like you accomplishing great things.

But too many black filmakers fall into that death spiral of type casting and greed. Which is obviously going on with Mr. Perry. (Least I THINK that's what Josh was getting at) Though I respect the man as a person, I can't say the same for his films. I just wish he'd get to be known as a great filmmaker, not just a "Black Filmmaker". But he's got a long way to go. He could easily break away and create the next big thing. Never know. But like all of civilization, we evolve, and so should his films.

No more black people in fats suits please. lol I think Eddie Murphy set us back a little.

So I guess you've never seen a Will Smith movie or a Denzel Washington movie? Or a Samuel L. Jackson movie? Or a Wesley Snipes movie? Or a Martin Lawrence movie? Or a Halle Berry movie? Or a Wayans Brothers movie? Or one of Spike Lee's many movies? Yep, there just aren't any other movies with African Americans in leading roles. Thank god for Tyler Perry.

If it's unimportant, then why did you comment?

Yeah I agree!! Quit hating!!! There r finally movies out there about african americans going through life situtations and not just being backup or supporting cast they're leads. So no I am not mad at mad in fact I cheer him on and hope he keeps going because his movies gives more roles to african americans.

What's wrong with catering to a particular audience? All the other movies made cater to a particular audience but are you complaining about the quality and speed that those movies are made. Its entertainment...its entertainment..its entertainment..not brain surgery...relax. There are more important things you could find fault with.
