Tyler Perry

When Hollywood refused to produce his films his way, Tyler Perry started his own studio in Atlanta and now his movies, including the popular "Madea" series, are drawing huge audiences. Byron Pitts profiles the new and unlikely movie mogul.

i think that Tyler's work is a message is universal because i'm not african american I LOVE HIS WORK! i own all his plays, all his movies and i love everything that he's done.His work just inspires so much hope, so much faith and he reminds people of the importance of god :0)

I have a question for Spike Lee. How can America find funny in the real "Flavor Flav" and not absolutely love Tyler Perrys writtings of the fictional Madea. Spike, I would be more offfended by the sterotypes that Flavor Flav brings to the table. Make no mistake, flav is very funny and I do enjoy him now and then but he is a sterotype that is also being advertised on t.v.  What kind? You tell me. Now excuse me while I watch Flav's Roast.

I believe God gave Tyler Perry this gift to reach and touch people the way he does because Mr. Perry is humble and does not trash others so he can feel good. Spike Lee has alot to learn about being humble.

Hollywood refused to produce his films for good reason... Spike less has a good point but if the masses are willing to accept it than he must be doing something right.

I just watched Madea's Big Happy Family,and I would like to say THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST FUNNIEST MOVIES I HAVE WATCHED IN A LONG TIME!!! I laughed until I cried! It's great how you reach out to young people through comedy. I hope they get the message before it's too late. Keep up the good work!
