While discussing the Hollywood lifestyle and filmmaking at Broadway Night Out’s “The Filmmakers View” in New York, director Malcom D. Lee heavily criticized Tyler Perry’s work, http:\/\/blogs.bet.com\/<\/a>is reporting. When the event’s host, Raqiyah Mays, asked Lee, who is the cousin of famed director Spike Lee, what he thinks of Perry, Lee said he is “a very shrewd businessman. This dude has built an empire off of what he does and people support him.”<\/p>\n

However Lee, who is remembered for helming the 1999 movie ‘The Best Man,’ did say he enjoys Perry’s most famous character, Madea. He added that he thinks she’s funny, but “All the other stuff and the morality tales, I could do without. Just bring me more Madea!”<\/p>\n

Lee also said that people shouldn’t look at Perry’s box office numbers to determine how good his movies are. He added that it just means it’s popular, and “it taps into something people respond to. I don’t do what he does.” Lee continued by saying Perry’s “not interested in art, he’s interested in turning out a product…I wish he could get better as the movies go.”<\/p>\n
