This was a sad movie. T.P. should stick to his comedies, etc. Seemed like a "Maya Angelou" documentary, not a T.P. movie. Thumbs down. Sorry Perry, but you can do better.

I thought this was his best work.
I ask my english teacher if he had a book of the play when I was in high school after watching an episode of A different world when one of the characters was saying lines from the play and I was hooked since then. I wonder why this movie wasnt apart of the oscar buzz
