For Colored Girls, An Honest Review
For Colored Girls, An Honest Review
For Colored Girls, An Honest ReviewThe actresses who star in the new film For Colored Girls have been saying on the press tour that the film is not only for colored girls. I find it insane that women have to stand up and say that a film that stars some of Americas finest African American actresses is not just for one part of the population based on the title and the fact that the film is populated entirely by African Americans.

It is almost like saying that The Expendables is just for over Fifty-year-old white men based on who stars in the film.
But we all know that is not the scenario because no one really thinks that The Expendables is just for blokes, just like For Colored Girls is not just for African American women.
But, I had my doubts about the film as soon as I heard that Tyler Perry was taking over as writer and director from Nzingha Stewart who had been moving the project along. I am sure she is glad the film got produced, but she probably would have preffered to direct it herself.
The girls try their best a bit to much at times with sound performances from Loretta Devine and Thandie Newton. But a film that is about so many complex issues like abuse, abortion, rape, HIV has to be able to hold up. You have to be able to make the tough stuff believable so people will buy it, and this whole movie is a long slog that stops dead in its tracks every time the women break into the beautiful poetry of Ntozake Shange.
On a final note, I would say that when For Colored Girls does not do well not because of the women's audience or the African American audience. This film doomed to failure because it is just not a very good film.
