Today, Tyler Perry's film adaptation of the acclaimed, uncompromising 1975 stage hit "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" opens in San Diego and nationwide. In the movie, whose title has been shortened to "For Colored Girls," Michael Ealy, co-star of CBS' "The Good Wife," plays a deeply troubled Army war veteran, Beau Willie, who has severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
