Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 I noticed it yesterday when I saw Clayton that black people had seemingly taken over the theatre to see that movie. I still don't know who Tyler Perry is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 What the hell!? I saw one ad for Why Did I Get Married? and it was in the papers the day it opened. I (like most white people I assume) really don't get the appeal of Tyler Perry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on Sucker Free Countdown yesterday (I walked in the room while my brother was watching) and he said she isn't, but she'll be in his next movie.

And hey, Rock only sinks to #2. Good for him. It's black people. Black people love whatever piece of shit Tyler Perry puts out. It's like Adam Sandler and white people, I guess. Good for the Rock. It's made 60 million now, shouldn't that officially count as his first definitive big hit? I don't see any other family movies coming to knock it out of its niche until that awful Bee Movie is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Heartbreak Kid has done a complete 180 in advertising. The first trailers showed the scenes with Ben and his wife in the movie, the newest ones show just scenes with Jerry Stiller and Rob Corddry, making it look like a buddy comedy.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 From what I've seen of Tyler Perry's stuff he has no consistency in tone at all. One minute it's him in drag doing broad comedy, then it's a serious drug addict subplot, or a guy being paralyzed. When people criticize his movies for not being funny it's not really a legit complaint since I'm not sure his movies are really 100% comedy by any means.
