The Color Purple has been on my top 5 list of all time favourite movies since I saw the original when it was first released in 1985. This musical remake is not only tacky but misses sooooo much and it DOES NOT work. I had hoped it would be even better given some of the original cast members where involved included Oprah (who gave an excellent performance as Sofia in the original along with Whoopi as Sissy), but no. It was just miss after miss after miss, and the musical numbers at the oddest of moments did nothing except to kill the story line. This version won't even make it to my top 1000 movies it was that bad and encourage ANYONE who watches it to go back and watch the original and really see what you've missed.
