A Tyler Perry Movie without Madea

As I was watching television this afternoon, this trailer for Tyler Perry's latest film came on. At first, I didn't even recognize the film being Tyler Perry's as most of his work seemed to revolve around Madea, the elderly woman played by Perry himself that reflects the stereotype of the Mammy. This time though, I think Tyler Perry finally has something good in his hands in making a film that doesn't mock the black stereotypes but portrays the struggle of black women. Using a cast consisting of celebrities such as Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, and Anika Noni Rose, I think Perry devised the same plan that we read in the race article about the overall selling ability of a movie that's predominantly black.
