  26. For coloured girls is originally a stage play by ntozake shange. Tyler Perrys movie is based on the play, which was written in the 70s so it is a classic not a remake of a poor movie.

  27. lobatan! so tyler perrys movie is based on the play?? So anyone quoting the movie should take several seats.
