I never watch anything he does, but only because nothing seems worth watching. Is anything he does good?

There is so many things right with Tyler Perry. The problem is, there are soooooooo many things wrong.

He got like $90 Million from Turner for a deal (the reason his shows are advertised so heavily). He has his own studio in Atlanta where his movies are filmed. Own production company, he's a one man movie. But the problem is the content. As a black person, there just are no quality commercial films/shows marketed to a black audience that are not comedies. The thought being, a drama targeting a mostly black audience just won't attract a general audience. Which is largely true. But anyway, Tyler Perry has to resources to make higher brow movies than that, but he really doesn't. Madea is an admittedly funny character, but it's really a caricature. Most of his films play heavily on stereotypes, are catered towards women, and almost always have a Christian themed revelation. Like I saw his latest movie, it sucked. He needs to show growth as a filmmaker, more than just automatic bank Madea movies. |

I saw something advertising "Tyler Perry's Dancing With The Stars" the other day. Pretty funny knock on how many things he has going. I've watched House of Payne once or twice and laughed because it was so stupid, but eh.

Yeah, Jay is right. He has a monopoly on his audience, basically. There aren't many other comedies dealing with religious and racial issues from a moralistic standpoint. He's really unfunny though.

He annoys me by how much money he makes. There's one show of his that mildly watch if I'm really bored but never like anything
