I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and thought the acting cast did a wonderfully job honoring the original movie. However, my only disappointment was deleting Shug Avery's iconic line to Celie "You sho' is ugly". This has been a staple of black culture as long as I can remember. Also, the absence of Shug Avery's poignant and powerful entrance into her father's church singing "God is trying to tell you something" slightly demised the powerful reconciliation moment. I am glad the director added more levity and joyful scenes in the remake. It's far less sad and sorrowful than the original. Otherwise, it was very good even if my wife dragged me to it.
