    2 Thumbs Up!

    I loved the movie...I knew mr Perry would do an amazing job, but that cast is what took it to a new level-everyone was phenomenal! I say this is the Waiting to Exhale of 2010, ladies grab your girls and have a really good time together. Not just for colored girls, Oscar Nominations are coming...God bless this Cast & Crew!

    Mr. Perry Is On Top Of His Game

    For Colored Girls is a must see for men and women. Tyler is on top of his game bringing to life an amazing play to the big screen in a big way!
    The cast is excellent! The writing outstanding! It was great to see a cast of strong African American actresses and actors on top of their game. It is clear that Tyler took on this project with the best intentions to make this something to be proud of. Sir you have succeeded!
    This is by no means a "Chick Flick", "Male Bashing Film" or "Black Movie". This is a film that has depth, a heart and intellect all finely woven with clear path on how these women come to be in each others lives.
    This is not a movie for small children, mature teenagers are fine to see this film. Although the subject matter can be difficult, it is definitely a vehicle to use as conversation on what relationships should be like.
    Men take you loved ones to see this film and hold her as you watch this movie.
    There should be Oscar and Golden Globe buzz about this movie.
