But why not just write original black material? Surely we don't have to copy
white films to tell universal stories? You don't have to write a black
movie just because you're black. I know a lot of folks in this group disparage
Tyler Perry's work, the Why Did I Get Married? films are an example.
I agree. I don't see why people have to keep remaking stuff that's already been
done. Indeed, when I first heard this was a remake, i thought it was a remake
of that funeral-themed movie where Whoopi Goldberg's husband had just died. But
either way, why not write original works?

Hummmthat's a really interesting POV. I think you have a good point here
also. I do feel that Chris Rock's work is void of the cooning that we see in
a Tylor Perry movie.

Part of the problem is that they force directors into making remakes in
