What do u think about Tyler Perry's Works

i think they r just what we need right now, they are fun, interesting and educative!

love em all!

Im not so sure i agree with you, yeah they are interesting no doubt, but they dont leave lasting impressions, i always feel like there's something missing in his movies, originality maybe, just cant place it sha

His Movies are cool, not only cool really good. Interesting and educative, he tends to potray a good sense of responsibilty tyat should come ith love, what goes around comes around sort of thing. I always pick something from his movie, In this age of sex, violence and fake movies, I always find his movies inspirational and captivating.

What is Original in this world today?

It leaves a lasting impression on me

Especially when i stopped watching it just for the fun of it

~ave only seen "Dairy of a mad Black Woman"matter of fact i wasnt aware there is a whole bunch of series/movies,till i watched this movie,it wud be interesting to watch the other movies!

~Any ideas where i can buy them in the UK anyone? Or mayb download ? it isnt aired on Tv here either ,well not that am aware of anyways!

~Ooh i very much will appreciate any recommendation on which ones to watch too!

there's a fantastic one that came out over Christmas - 'why did I get married?'

haven't watched it either, (didn't show in my city, not enough black folk i guess ) but I heard its really good.

@combrazor Prof why you go say tyler's works are horribly written and directed, have you watch Madea Family Reunion? I think thats kinda cool, What about daddy's little girl? I follow up his work very well and liked it.

did they just introduce Diary of a Black Woman in the UK recently?in the past week, at least three of my friends in England have come asking me about Tyler Perry all of a sudden--[quote][/quote]


~Lol if it aired here,am not aware of it,my sis who lives in the States sent me copy of "Mad black woman"  2/3 years ago,i loved it N i quickly got excited when she told me about other Perry series!  she recommended Madea's Family reunion,N promised she'll mail me some,but that was ages agooo, so i guess its high time i remind her especially after seein this post

~@ debosky thanks mate,i'll add that to my list to watch! ave just seen previews of "Why did i get married,Daddy's little girls N Madea's family reunion!! there r two more out this spring "Madea goes to jail N Meet the Browns"according to the official Tyler Perry website so thats something to look fwd to also!Too bad they wont be in cinema's here

They're ok, but I find some of them to be like Dr. Phil's sessions - "blame the man all the time".

Those that profess the death of originality, surely cannot bring it to life in their works. _{(21st century philosopher, RichyBlack)}

@gamine- we've got different opinions and to me his movies are missing something, i saw madeas family reunion and believe me, the lead actress in that movie was missing something, diary of a mad black woman was okay and im yet to see daddy's little girl, the thing is i get the message he is trying to potray with his movies and yeah i appreciate them, but if u watch closely and pay attention to detail there are a few things missing and u cant really compare those movies to the usual hollywood standard, thats just my point of view sha

@combrazor I agree with you but still with the stage background his trying.

@combrazor Sure Prof I know say you no hate am but the guy movies the way its captures the black communities men he dey surprise me, So prof you na Film Maker?

Ecc 1:9 That which has been is that which shall be;
and that which has been done is that which shall be done;
and there is nothing new under the sun.

RichyBlack, i hope you understand now

You dabble keh wetin dat one mean, I sabi Oyinbo lol, Well its all good atleast answer a Direct Question Prof, You na Film Maker?

At least a few pple agree with my opinion about tylers movies

Wow, he's so successful. All his movies have been hits. He's my new inspiration!
I wouldn't say he's a bad director; I would say his directing style is unique and theatrical.

Yes, but I though that was referring to God, that is there is nothing new to Him.

As far as man, is concerned, there is always something new, e.g., AIDS, the microchip, the atomic bomb, etc.

Well, it may depend on how new is defined.

Exactly

Tyler Perry movies reminds me of nollywood, a better nollywood, I have to add. I watched why did I get married last year, and it was hilarious. You guys will enjoy it, unless there are more sadists on nairaland . I enjoy his movies .

he dey try

i like tyler perry and his movies. all his movies are funny even when its meant to be sad.

"I can do Bad By Maself"

Don't need anybody's help for real!


"Meet the Browns" was absolutely hilarious!


I love all his plays and movies. Infact gave like 10 volumes to "special" friends and family members-- all 7-8 plays and movies in a pack last Xmas2007. They loved it!

I LOVE TYLER PERRY!--His voice, his face his height--name it! Can he dance or what?

He is charming to talk to--watched him on Oprah.

Yeah Mr Tyler is really cute
Madea is even finer than alot of women ive seen

I wonder where i can get the rest of his movies in Naija
they dont seem to be anywhere

just saw Daddys lil gals

love love love

I saw the latest movie, "'why did I get married?" on DVD last week. It was good! I dislike 80/20 rules that i had been through my previous marriage.   

I love Tyler Perry and all his movies and theaters. I just missed back 2004 when he came to Kennedy Center in DC and invited us, deaf choir from my church as VIP backstage where we performed our gospel song in sign language.

After theater show ended, he knew how to sign "i love you" showing us deaf choir. _{(i was told by my church deaf choir/active member)}

Because I just joined my church new member in 2005. Anyway, we deaf choir do meet several black gospel singers/celebrities yearly either my church or guest church with deaf ministry served.

I do not care what people say, I think Tyler Perry has emerged as one of the best African American filmmaker and scriptwriter. Besides, he has created more jobs for Black actors and actresses.

The same black actors/actresses that lack range in movies. Those are the kinds he can make movies for, the ones that rely on idiotic black movies that play on their stereotypes. See one of his movies and you've seen them all. Same ol' recycled garbage

None od the RESPECTED black actors/actresses of Hollywood would be caught dead in his movies. They are beyond that tripe

Yes you are right to some extent. But his movies target a certain audience. I love them for the humour. There is no difference in what is going on generally in the movie industry--black or white. All are trite and the same old recycled garbage. When last did you see a good movie in the past 10 years. Very few I bet. The general atmosphere.

So he is not alone in the "lack of motivation" thingy.

I love when people bad mouth Tyler.  It motivates me to pay to see his movies several times in the theatres and buy his dvds.  As long as he projects something positive and I can relate to, he has my money. I want him to become disgustingly rich, where he has the resources to delve into other things.

I absolutely loved "Why."  It was the most enjoyable movie I had seen all year.  I rarely support commercial theatre, but I will go and pay to see a Tyler production. 

Someone was right, I would say that about 90% of the movies shown commerically is hyped junk.  Yet that doesn't stop folks from paying to see the junk.  Tyler appeals to a particular audience.

P.S.  Meet the Browns will open March 21, 2008. 
Tyler primary supporters are AA christian black women.  As long as he keeps us happy, he will be okay. 

I paid to see why 6 times.  I did not sit throught the movie six times, but I plunked down my money. When the haters were raking him over the coals, I was opening my wallet.  Let your haters be your motivators.

I believe many folks are simply angry that they could never receive that kind of support and success, and it eats them up alive. He gives the folks what they want, and he is rewarded handsomely. If you project isn't getting the same kind of atention, then obviously the folks don't want what you got.

Go Tyler.
