Nov 3, 2010 · Roger Ebert criticizes Tyler Perry's adaptation of Ntozake Shange's play, which features seven women with different colors and problems. He finds the film too literal, cluttered and unconventional for cinema, but praises the cast and the soliloquies.
The movie is based on Ntozake Shange's play and collection of poems about women of color and their struggles. Each of the 20 characters portrayed by women in the movie has a name and a poem that explores different issues that impact women in general.
Filmmaker Tyler Perry adapts this landmark work for the big screen; integrating the vivid language of Ntozake Shange's poems into a contemporary narrative that explores what it means to be a woman of color-any color-in this world.
