Synopsis
In 1974, Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf” made its stage debut. Within two years, the play became a Broadway sensation, won an Obie and Tony Award. Now, thirty six years later, filmmaker Tyler Perry adapts this landmark work for the big screen, integrating the vivid language of Shange’s poems into a contemporary narrative. For Colored Girls weaves together the stories of nine different women as they move in and out of one another’s existences; some are well known to one another, others are as yet strangers. Crises, heartbreaks and crimes will ultimately bring these nine women fully into the same orbit where they will find commonality and understanding.
Stars Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Hill Harper, Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington and Macy Gray.

I enjoyed the film with its little sub-plots around all the characters dealing with difficulties/crises in their lives but I wouldn't have gone to the pictures to watch it. I do have one question - why does Janet Jackson have to always play the very successful but very unhappily married woman - it would be so nice to see her play something else where you actually see her smile and happy because she does have such a beautiful smile!!

OMG! Where do i begin?? A fantastic movie that spans the lives of various strangers (women) whose lives inevitably cross. Brilliant characters, all of which someone (out there)can relate to in real life. The poetry - taken from the book - is threaded throughout the movie. Without giving too much away, the movie brought me to tears - it really is a must see, the type of movie to watch again and again - you will not be wasting your money.

Excellent adaptation of the original play. The performances were excellent and really brought home to me the raw emotion of all the characters, especially the deep sadness and loneliness of the businesswoman as portrayed by Janet Jackson. All the performances were first class. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
