Touré Refers to Tyler Perry’s Films As “Cinematic Malt Liquor”

CNN’s social commentator Touré harshly criticized Tyler Perry yesterday while on CNN’s Newsroom.

Touré began his criticism with explaining that, “Tyler Perry is one of the worst if not the worst director in Hollywood and ignorant of the craft” and went on to call Perry’s films “Cinematic malt liquor for the masses”.

Touré‘s critique continued with,

“Tyler Perry is definitely serving an audience that is underserved by Hollywood. Especially black southern women do not see themselves at all in Hollywood fare. So, when he’s serving them movies where they appear to be in situations that are naturalistic and recognizable to them and definitely have that Christian message, I absolutely understand why my grandmother, my mother, and my aunts love this stuff, and my family down south, they love this stuff. I just can’t watch it without cringing because I’ve seen good movies and I know these are poorly made films,”
