Question of the Day – Girlfriends: The Movie?
Question of The Day, Uncategorized
Posted by Bossip Staff
The rumors have been swirling about this possible Girlfriends movie, and we just heard from a source close to Mara Brock Akil, that she is not working on a script for the film as of now, and there is no set production in place…yet. However, our source did not discount the option of a film in the future. There was a heated debate going on over in the CW blogs, and we want to know what Bossip folk think.
Should Girlfriends be turned into a movie? Good or bad idea?

Yes. Yes. Yes. I wanna see Tony Childs again. The last season of Girlfriends sucked w/o her.

Yer girlfiends needs to come back i think another season would be better than a movie though but either would be great!!!

Sure why not? It’s not like we have an over flow of black cinema. It was a great show and it would probably be a fantastic movie!

i think its a good idea for fans but a bad idea if they want to make money. especially if toni wont be there if she’s not the movie wont take off. thats why it got canceled in the first place.

Absolutely. The way the show ended was horrible. I would love to see Joan, Toni, Lynn, and Mya on the big screen (loved William, too — he was hilarious). The response to the Sex and the City proved — to me — that there is an audience for film versions of “women’s shows.” A Girlfriends movie would have a built-in audience, but I do agree that Toni would have to appear in it in order for it to work.

Absolutely not. Girlfriends should return to the TV screen where it left off and bring overly dramatic Tony Childs back.

I will love that because I feel like the show ended wrong. Its sad how Sex in the City women can work it out year after year but the Black version chicks cant. YET, they werent getting paid by HBO! They were getting paid by a company that didnt try to pay the cast any where near what the Sex in the City chicks got. I wish they could have gotten an hour long slot on a cable station because I believe it was the closes TV show we got that showed Black woman that way. It was like “Waiting to Exhale”. I loved it! (Especially Tracee Ellis, whoooa, I miss that a$$!!)

I bet all the simple black females that went to see Sex in the City movie wouldn’t even go see their own. We really need to start supporting our own.
Karen
5/16/09, 10:45:am
Yes to the movie! I would see it just to support that show. I would love to see it come back on air.

IMO the show was just okay. It’s not like the show was THAT successful to begin with. It was on UPN, not even a major network. Naw, I say do us all a favor and let a sleeping dog lie.
Mrs. Rance
5/16/09, 11:00:am
Heck yeah it should. Especially the way the show ended. The movie would be a hit.

whom ever SATAN is that is a racist comment to post on black gossip.com so for the record the GIRLFRIENDS typically ate gormet foods and not chicken and they are three beautiful black women not orangatans! you jerk.

F$$K NO
Positive is what we need
5/16/09, 12:27:pm
I really didnt like the show because of the way it depicted black women, it was like nothing ever worked out for them, relationships, marriage, jobs and so forth.

We rebuke “satan” he is a wanna be BLACK man trying to get stuff started saying he is white. Go get a life you aint fooling no one. We rebuke you in the name of Jesus!!!

5/16/09, 12:43:pm
I would go see it. I’m a guy and I love the show, especially “Toni Childs” and Lynn. Now, if I can find a chick with both of their personalities, I might have to jump off the bridge…I mean over the broom.
Naomi.Is.Fierce
5/16/09, 13:01:pm
yes, i would support it.
Naomi.Is.Fierce
5/16/09, 13:02:pm
and as long as that show aired, they did them wrong in the end. “Friends” fans had closure, why couldn’t Girlfriends’ fans? It makes no sense and for Maya to stand for that was totally wrong.

5/16/09, 13:10:pm
Why not?? It won’t be any worse than what’s already out.

5/16/09, 13:23:pm
YES! OH HELL YES! I was highly *****ed at how the show ended. I need closure!

5/16/09, 13:26:pm
YES!!!!!!!!!GO OUT WITH A BANG. I LOVE THIS SHOW & TO SEE A MOVIE WOULD MAKE MY LIFE!

Michelle
5/16/09, 13:40:pm
Perhaps a straight-to-DVD, 1-2 hour long episode to tie up the loose ends and end the show properly would work, a full length feature length film… Not so much. Girlfriends was a good show, but it barely had a TV audience, I can’t see it doing big box office numbers.
Brianne
5/16/09, 13:45:pm
Yes, a movie would be needed to tie up the loose ends of the show.

Yeah it would be good! I love that damn show and hated how it ended!
MRS. WADE
5/16/09, 14:04:pm
YES YES YES!!! I LOVE GIRLFRIENDS… THAT SHOW WAS LIKE THE URBAN SEX IN THE CITY!
Vonnie
5/16/09, 14:07:pm
YES! YES! YES! The show ended horribly. They should at least bring it back for another season or make a movie to allow the fans to see Joan walk down the isle. That’s what the whole show was about anyway and just when she was about to do it, they canceled the show!

Is this ***** worthy of the big screen? No! Is it worthy of a “STRAIGHT TO BOOTLEG DVD RELEASE?” A resounding YES! The hoodrat **********/ho market has been grossly under-served by Hollywood. It’s time to throw them a bone.
I would rather see "The Game" as a movie

They should bring Toni back and Joan should get married!

Well, I hope they at least get ‘paid’ properly this time. I loved ‘Girlfriends’ and think their chemistry is as special as the Sex in the City crew.

5/16/09, 18:35:pm
i think they should because they didnt have a good last episode. it seemed unfinished.
diii
5/16/09, 18:43:pm
Hell no. The way they left it was like the end. The movie would be stupid, the only thing left to occur is Tony and Joan making amends and who wants to watch an entire movie about that
prettyblackg
5/16/09, 18:58:pm
great for tv, but how will the producers make this interesting enough as a movie, towards the end this sitcom became a bore
mane(A *****' perspective says that FLOTUS CGI no disrespect hypothetically only)

Will, fine-***** Toni be in that thang? I hope so! She was my long legged chocolate favorite, sweet lookin tatas, nice lil booty, yes sir!

well if there is going to be a movie it needs to be now before it becomes irrelevant.
Yes to Girlfriends
5/16/09, 19:55:pm
YES!!!! If a reputable company puts it out, then old fans would rush to the theatre and new viewers would be attracted to the story line. I would love to see the entire cast together especially Toni Childs, even though Joan’s my fave!

5/16/09, 21:46:pm
okay i only have one thing to say for all of yall who believe girlfriends didnt have a steady audience….if they didnt have a steady audience, then why are they syndicated on several different networks? because they had a FANBASE. If a movie appeals to the fan base, i say let em have it. I miss girlfriends and i hated how it ended.. I was a sex and the city fan and i saw it in theaters and i have it on dvd. Why cant girlfriends get the same type of respect?
Darkesthourgl*****
5/16/09, 21:52:pm
Yes to Girlfriends movie if they bring back Toni Childs and good money is spent on the film. I didn’t care for the last couple of seasons but if the movie has that feel of the first few seasons, then yes. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Living Single movie as well.

5/16/09, 22:44:pm
Don’t know about a movie but it would be great if the show was back on TV. Maya is hysterical with her colloquialisms and William is so funny too. Tony was great as a character on tv, but i’d hate it if i had to put up with someone like her in real life.

I think it could work, but; only with all of the original cast members intact.
Also, I think that it would be a great reflection of progress if all of the characters have “made it,” and are not all still trying to find themselves.

5/17/09, 20:28:pm
They need a TV movie showing Joan’s wedding.

5/17/09, 20:58:pm
i think that it would be a great idea they made a movie out of sex and the city. please have toni in the movie i love her and william too:)

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT IF THERE CAN’T BE THE ACTUAL SHOW. BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!
TheGoodGood
5/18/09, 00:46:am
why the ***** not… they’ll make some money from it the show was okay but they NEED good writers.. they were running out of idea’s everyone *****ing eachother recycling the booty.. nasty.
Id’ see it for the fly clothes.. we need HOT boyfriends.. she can cheak on Malik Yoba even though he’s fine we need some Cougar love with some young boys..
I’d go see it
Kay
5/18/09, 09:34:am
Of course, it would be Hot…to see Joan and Ms. Toni at it again!! We need more Positive Black!! men/women on TV, they should have never been taken off the air. I still wath Girl Friends when it comes on other networks.
mzsweetface
5/18/09, 09:40:am
If Sex and the City can get their own movie, why not Girlfriends? BUT it will only be a good idea if Jill Marie comes back. If the cast of Sex and the City could work out their differences to make a movie, so can they.
Hotstuff
5/18/09, 10:25:am
If so, they better bring back Toni Childs… dammit
Your Average Scholar
5/18/09, 11:49:am
Yes, I think a movie should be made for this show! I truly adore that show and think the last episode was all over the place. It just didn’t end with a bang like shows do, and I think there is no show today that can compare. As far as grossing only 500k is that figure valid because a low figure in numbers has to be a result of poor judgement.
toni
5/18/09, 12:10:pm
Yes, PLEASE, a Girlfriend movie with Toni Child. Without her it will not be a good movie. All of the main characters are a compliment to one another. I loved this show and Half and Half would also be a great movie. Bring it on!

I hope this happens. I was sad when the series ended so abruptly. All the people who think that women would not go out to see this movie are crazy!

For the sack of people like me who just fell in love with the story lines, Plots and Characters I know the episodes by heart and could tell you any thing about each role! However I was disappointed when the character Toni Childs left but at the same time I would be more pleased as the #1 Fan to see the Movie with all of them Tod and the new baby. There is more then enough open doors and hurt feelings that can be mended, I would love to see Williams baby and Jabarii as a Teenager Joan Married with her and Toni back friends. After a Major movie with a amazing story line and plot could bring back the TV series.
On that note if they do we need to all do our part and support them no matter what!
Good note Every time I go to buy the dvd its always sold out so we know that there is a large fan base and Marie even is owe us that Please think about it a movie would Awesome ……
