Is he saying “Low Brow” folks don’t deserve editing and a comprehensive story? Interesting that The Family That Preys was great, but had white folks on the cast. The same white folks that gave him 0% on rotten tomatoes.

I saw that on Rotten Tomatoes. Wow. So that's what his "friends " think of him huh. SMH. I haven't watched the latest film yet, although I had it on my "watchlist" for weeks now. Just was in no hurry to see it. Felt like it would be another predictable flick of his. I have predicted the storyline of all his films, even down to the scripts/lines of the characters!

[@DumblondMo]

No one is immune to criticism when it comes to creative work. Him trying to paint all people who don’t like his movies with such a broad stroke is intellectually dishonest. Loni Love saying that Tyler Perry should work with other writers should be taken into consideration by him instead of him taking that as an insult. Collaborative work with other perspectives has the potential to make a decent script a great one.

Half of his Madea movies are didactic sermons and the other half is old boomer humor. He wouldnt be getting these critiques if he helped fund good, layered and boundary pushing Black projects like he said he would years ago (the first time he got dragged for not having a writers room).

Why are people so willing to give Tyler Perry a pass for putting out subpar work just because he hires Black actors and he’s rich? Hiring Black actors does not mean you can’t also make quality work. People need to stop acting like TP is above criticism just because he’s successful. Shonda Rhimes is a successful Black writer with her own production company and employs plenty of Black actors and directors. Difference is Shonda cares about her craft. She’s hired Debbie Allen to direct a lot of her shows. She’s hired a lot of Black actors. Even Columbus Short said Shonda gave him several chances to get his drug problem under control and only fired him when she had no choice.

Tyler totally missed the point but apparently, he doesn't care about his work being award worthy or iconic. When I think of iconic it's movies like Jasons Lyric, Pride, Black Panther, boyz in the hood, etc. Nothing Tyler perry.

[@catmouse2882]

All hood movies😬... not really iconic if only Blk people know about them...but at least Boyz in the Hood and Black Panther were critical acclaimed and nominated for Oscars.❤

[@deboraha4908]

His movies are entertainment…that’s all.

[@DawnNa_22]

He could’ve kept the “high brow” comment, but his dismissiveness doesn’t surprise me. I honestly think the movies most would agree were of good quality were when he was Lionsgate. I’ve noticed that the quality dropped when he was no longer held to the standards of the larger entities he was in partnership with. Ultimately, we all know what to expect with his movies and we have the choice to watch it or not. Whether we like it or not, everyone doesn’t create for the beauty of creation. Some solely create for profit. Tyler is doing what makes financial sense to him, he’s not concerned about art anymore. It is what it is.

I'm old enough to remember how much Spike Lee was dragged for some of his movies, Spike is a legend and his movies are revered. Art is subjective, and his films speak to some and not others.Divorce in the Black was good, not great. I will always support him good or bad because of what he does for and means to our community.

[@l.singleton5981]

I agree with you 100%. I will continue to support Tyler Perry. I am also old enough to remember what Spike Lee endured. To this day I believe Spike should have received an award for Malcolm X

[@DianeJohnson-l5n]

I remember watching Diary of a Mad Black Woman and thinking THAT WAS A GREAT MOVIE! Now…I haven’t really seen anything else better than that

[@Lita_213]

He's said in the past that he tried using other Black writers, and his fans didn't like it... I don't know who these fans were, but I couldn't tell the difference. Even with Sistas, there's another writer, but the writing is still lackluster and so are the story lines. He has an ever growing number of characters on all of his shows which is great for the actors, but he rarely takes the time to complete their story lines, so scenes become muddled and contradictory. "Quality over Quantity" should be plastered in every room in his houses and studios as a daily reminder because I'm getting to the point that I won't be able to support him "just because" for much longer.

I don't get what the issue people have with Typler Perry shows. The ones I watch are very good because I love the suspense in the shows. Sistas is very good! You all dont have to watch what you dont like.

[@user-ux3zj3di4l]

I think Tyler just really likes being a B-list TV show and movie maker. Maybe that's his thing. He takes offense to constructive criticism. Oprah tried to tell him also but he didn't want to hear it. Give Black women a break Tyler because your stories aren't a one size fits all.

[@marithagray4392]

Everything you've said is spot on no lies detected

[@FirstnameLastname-nq3oj]

Tyler went from being homeless to being incredibly successful. As someone who loves writing myself, he uses his art to entertain people. If you like his movies great. If not, don’t watch. I grew up watching the original plays with my family and we thought they were great. Writers are allowed to evolve in their art.

[@ralphangel561]

People that say don't watch fail to realize that if enough people stop watching, you have no audience. Tyler has exploited black people for too long to keep doing the material over and over. It's ridiculous

[@simplyme1705]

@@ralphangel561 but I think that's the thing that he understands. If enough people stop watching, yes, but at this time there ARE enough people watching and they have been watching for years, which is why he's had such a long run. I'm sure as his core supporters change (whether it be their desires or if it's just a new bunch of people that are being introduced to his work), he will cater to them. I'd imagine that he probably knows enough of what his numbers are looking like to move accordingly.

[@kishamorris1707]

Smh. We can have opinions, can choose whether we watch, but we don't get to tell him how to run his business or what we think his legacy can and should be. Most of those with these opinions don't have 1/4 of the success he has. Even those considered to have quality projects. Everything is not for everyone.

[@latilove4809]

Tyler Perry has the only studio that’s created to tell black stories. Damn can we get astronauts in space, black game of thrones, superheroes, quirky romance movies?! So many different movies he can create and STILL do the movies he loves to create! He needs to stop being so offended and listen to the people who are putting money in his pocket! Do you know how many doors that can open for black unemployed actors and writers to showcase their talents! It’s like he’s sticking a middle finger to people who just wants to see him do better smh

I enjoy Tyler's work, ambition, and philanthropy. However, I believe with any profession there's room for growth. Seeing that he has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, it is time for him to make movies and plays that can be enjoyed by all races.

Tyler knows his audience and his formula seems to be working out very well for everyone involved. Chasing validation from the elites isn't guaranteed to work out. There are many black movie producers who produce award worthy work, but have yet to find the financial success of Tyler; success that allows him to pay it forward in big meaningful ways. Plus, if every other race can advance in life with mediocre artistry why can't we allow Tyler to as well? This notion that we always have to be the best is not only extremely stressful, but it's also proving to not be very profitable.
