Why Did I Get Married Too?

To appreciate why my review is below average you will need to see 'Why did I get married' Basically you have four couples in the original and each have their issues and by the end each issue is resolved one way or the other. So the problem for the sequel is how do you follow up on issues that have already been resolved. The answer is to create new issues or rehash old ones. This is how the sequel goes. So we have four couples each dealing with issues again. Now there's nothing wrong with that if the issues are plausible and played out properly and have credible endings. This is where 'Why did I get married too' goes sadly wrong. Some issues were credible but the endings were not or were not given an ending whilst the most prominent issue, well I'm struggling to understand what it actually was. I had no empathy with the female lead and felt that she should have been charged with crime and I think in real life most of those characters would have nothing to do with her after what she directly caused. Sadly this is a sequel that should never have been and I can only speculate that it failed because a certain actress only signed up for the sequel so she could have the most prominent role and in so giving it to her the movie failed. You will know to whom I refer when you watch this movie. So watch this movie if only to understand why a lot of sequels fail miserably as this one did!

The Mrs (her choice of movies) & I walked out after 20 minutes or so & was allowed into another movie. I am not an actor but my gosh that was some really shallow acting. The setting was nice but very little action, elementary dialogue was rampant & too many close up's of actors faces. I thought the actors had recently memorized their lines & repeated them without any emotion or passion. The movies plot was weak & the photography and cameras set ups were below par. My suggestion #1, do not waste your money.Suggestion #2, Tyler Perry is living off the positive movies of the past & should get back to producing a more thoughtful & deeper movie content.

The original "Married" was not Oscar material, but it was at least a solid 5 or 6 on a 10-point scale. It had some freshness and some unpredictability to it that at least made for some fun entertainment.

The sequel is none of these things.

Quite possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Clichéd to the hilt. Weak, repetitive, IQ-lowering humor bordering on sloppy slapstick. From the slow beginning to the disappointing end, this movie is starved. The plot is begging for more development, the actors are aching for better utilization of their characters, and the script is pleading to be burnt to ashes.

Like Perry's "I Can Do Bad," this movie seems rushed as if very little thought was put into making it. I have no idea how the mess I saw on that screen made it pass the editing booth. There's just no way...unless someone was trying to beat some kind of deadline and concluded that since this movie is guaranteed to win the box office, "who cares about quality? We make it and 'they' will come. Release it." And release this stink bomb of a film they did. What a waste.

I hate to be all negative, so I will try to offer one positive. Like in the first movie, Janet stretches her acting and almost comes off as a decent actor. Kudos to Perry for helping get that out of her I guess.

And with that, I'll turn in as I'm sleepy after watching that sleep-inducing tripe of a film. Maybe in the morning I'll feel less angry about giving away two hours of my time that I will never get back. And don't say you weren't warned...even if you're a Tyler Perry fan, you will find my critique to be true.

Toodles

This movie actually turned out better than I had expected it to be. But then again, of course I didn't really have much of any expectations for a movie such as this to begin with.

"Why Did I Get Married Too?" starts out with the appearance of just another romantic comedy. But then the movie suddenly started to become so much more, as it came to be revealed all the problems and life situations that each and everyone in the different marriages were dealing with and struggling with.

The cast was rather good, and people were well cast for their individual roles. The actors and actresses performed quite well.

There are some pretty good laughs throughout the movie, just as there are moments of thick drama and emotion. So there is a bit of everything to be had in "Why Did I Get Married Too?".

I can warmly recommend that you take the time to watch this movie if you enjoy romantic comedies that have more than the usual superficial layer to them that permeates the romantic comedy genre.

Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows our four couples from the first film getting together for their annual couples trip. This time there will be one new couple and all new problems. Can the group work together to overcome their drama or will the drama overcome them?

This movie is written, stars and is directed by Tyler Perry (Diary of a Mad Black Woman) and also stars Janet Jackson (Poetic Justice), Jill Scott (Baggage Claim), Sharon Leal (Dreamgirls), Malik Yoba (Cool Runnings), Richard T. Jones (Event Horizon) and Tasha Smith (The Whole Ten Yards).

Perry did a great job of bringing back the original cast for this picture. It was great seeing them again and picking up where the first film left off. The cameos were also awesome and I loved seeing Louis Gossett Jr. (Iron Eagle), Cicely Tyson (The Help) and Dwayne Johnson (Black Adam). The storyline was very uneven. The ex husband coming on the trip seemed awkward and forced. It's too bad because the divorce was so well written and executed. The drunk night coming home was super sad and the "move out day" was perfectly depicted. Janet Jackson delivers a tremendous performance. There's a car crash scene that is awesome and the twist ending was great.

Overall, this is a very uneven movie that is definitely worth a watch but not as good as it should have been. I would score this a 5.5-6/10 and strongly recommend it.
