A lot of folks seem to dislike movies by Tyler Perry. I am one of them sorry to say. If you know the story of  Tyler Perry you will say damn this cat is a very talented and lucky man.

Perry used to sleep in his car. He was dead broke and homeless. But while being homeless he wrote his first plays and the rest is history. He is now a multi-millionaire and one of most powerful cats in Hollywood. Or should I say Atlanta because his studios are in the ATL. Yes he has his own movie and TV studio in the ATL.

As we know a lot of his success is from movies starring Tyler playing Madea. A so called old African American grandmother with a very big mouth.

Tyler Perry playing Madea has helped to make him a very very rich man. But with the success of his Madea movies it has brought out people in the African American community who have a huge problem with Perry’s movies. People like fellow movie maker Spike Lee. Lee has said what many others have said about Perry’s Madea movies.

Lee has said that the role of Madea puts African Americans in a bad light. Just like Amos and Andy back in the day. Lee has a big problem with Tyler Perry movies as do I. I don’t give a damn about how much money he makes. The Madea movies in my opinion are terrible and I will not watch another movie of Perry’s if Madea is the main role.
