Once again audiences across North America are exposed to the smut that is Tyler Perry's most recent film. As per usual it revolves around some family based issue that the audience is supposed to understand and identify with.
Tyler seems to constantly utilize black stereotypes and black cliché to fuel the humour in his films. Not only is this unoriginal, its completely pathetic. Character like Madea are a prime example of this.
However since he is a minority filmmaker he somehow has the ability to garner respect and support from publicity whores like Oprah Winfrey. Its unfortunate that so many people will be duped into seeing these films based on that alone.
I believe the best way to describe Perry's attempted genre is blaxploitation at its worst. That's saying a lot since most blaxploitation films are far from being masterworks (Foxy Brown, Coffy). Besides launching Pam Griers career, they weren't good for much else. In the end the genre took a downturn after the 70s, so its no surprise talentless writer / directors like Perry seek to take advantage of an underused demographic.
Its films like these that make Perry such a Razzie worthy director. Earning him a spot with other greats like Uwe Boll, Roland Emmerich, Micheal Bay and M. Night Shyamalan
The day these directors were given credibility and respect, film died
