Plot: Each of the women portray one of the characters represented in the collection of twenty poems/play the film is based on, revealing different issues that impact women in general and women of color in particular.
Cast: Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Janet Jackson (Why Did I Get Married Too?), Thandie Newton (Run, Fatboy, Run), Kerry Washington (The Last King of Scotland), Loretta Devine (Lottery Ticket), Kimberly Elise (Diary of a Mad Black Woman), Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls), Tessa Thompson ("Veronica Mars"), singer Macy Gray (Idlewild), Omari Hardwick (Kick-Ass and "Dark Blue"), and Michael Ealy (Takers and "FlashForward")
Verdict: Tyler Perry's really outdone himself this time, recruiting some of the best African American (and British) women in Hollywood for an in-depth look at not just how African Americans survive, but how women of color cope with every day problems.
Release Date: November 5, 2010
