Last night I took in a movie with my friend at Atlantic Station. We went to see ‘Shutter Island’ starring Leonardo Dicaprio (which I’ve seen once already because it’s that good). About an hour into the movie I went to the concession stand.

It sounded like a party going on in the hall as about a hundred or so well-dressed industry folk mingled and networked (loudly) amongst themselves. I spotted Tami of Talking With Tami blog walking by and I pulled her to the side to ask what was going on. She told me that Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’ screening had just ended.

A minute later, I saw a nice lady near the concession stand and I asked her how she liked Tyler’s movie. She hesitated to answer at first. Then with a sly smile, she whispered, “I hated it… and I work for Tyler Perry Studios.”

Others shared her same sentiments, saying the movie was “horrible” with “too much going on.” One movie goer called ‘Married Too’ the “worst movie Tyler Perry ever made.”

Luckily for Tyler, his built-in core audience that followed him from his chitlin circuit days will support any garbage he puts out. ‘Married Too’ was directed by Tyler Perry and financed by Tyler and Oprah. I’m sure they’ll make their money back, and more.

Rapper Yung Joc extended his arms for me to run to him. But I was trying to remain incognito (I don’t know how he recognized me).
