Tropes used in For Colored Girls include:
- Adaptation Expansion
- All-Star Cast: The film version has, among others, Whoopi Goldberg, Janet Jackson and Anika Noni Rose.
- Group Hug: At the end of the movie.
- Not Screened for Critics: Averted with the film version; critics have seen it, and the response is quite negative.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: Beautiful opera music to the violent rape scene.
