Atlanta Screening of Tyler Perry’s ‘For Colored Girls’

Kimberly Elise plays Crystal. She’s a hard working mom of two, living with her boyfriend played by Michael Ealy. When I was a young girl, my mom was married to a guy that fit Micheal Ealy’s character! It made me sad to see the outcome of their relationship and family,grab the tissues for real! Argh!

Janet Jackson plays Joanna, a stoned faced workaholic that has no compassion for others. She’s married to a very handsome guy but she got more than she bargained for with him. Major side eye!

Loretta Devine plays Juanita. She gave the film a breath of fresh air and was funny. She dates Frank and he’s a mess, that keeps coming in and out of her life. It’s hard for her to let him go.

Thandie Newton plays Tangie who got on my last nerves. She uses her body and beauty to lure men and then uses them and disposes of them like garbage. She’s very mean spirited and cares about only her and her needs.

Phylicia Rashad plays Gilda the nosey neighbor and manager of the apartment building where some of the other ladies live. She’s a loving and caring neighbor but can be a bit intrusive at times.

Anika Noni Rose plays Yasmine a beautiful dancer with big dreams. My heart went out to her. She had no idea that the world could be so cruel. She’s the girl that just wants to be a princess and find her prince. Her dreams are shattered for sure after her date from hell! He got what was coming to him!

Whoopi Goldberg plays Alice a very delusional character who’s a religious nut. She’s a hoarder with mental issues as well. She has two daughters that she loves but treats differently.
