Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

As a fan of Tyler Perry, I must say that his first cinematic take on marital relationships was great and in my opinion, incredibly heartwarming. However, for some insane reason, the man who made the sharp tongued, pistol waving Madea famous decided to surprise us with the atrocious sequel " Why Did I Get Married Too"? For starters, there's too much melodrama for this to be taken seriously. Not to mention the fact that the screwed up, hair brained characters are impossible to watch. First, we have Patty (Janet Jackson) going from being a seemingly loving, happy wife to being a vindictive, psychotic bitch before half of the film is over. Then you have Sheila's mean, prick of an ex husband showing up out of the blue trying to win her back only for her to turn around and take pity on him when she finds out he's terminally ill. Next we have all of the characters suddenly falling into each other's arms at the hospital after crazy Patty screams "FIX IT, FIX IT " !!!!!!!! C'mon ! The melodramatic, Jerry Springer like episodes was absolutely redundant. The controlling, psycho Angela shows up at her husband's job accusing him of having an affair ! Seriously ? Last but not least, Patty, who we realize isn't an expert on relationships as we thought humiliates her soon to be ex husband at work right before he gets killed ! I strongly believe that Perry could've done much better than this. Since WDIGM features the same characters, WDIGM 2 gives viewers the impression that they are wrong for each other where as the first one shows how the characters grew fonder of each other despite hidden secrets and flaws. Aside from the gorgeous view of the Carribbean, I definitely don't suggest watching this film. If you wanna watch a movie on how to ruin your marriage, this movie is for you. If not, see the first one instead.

"Why Did I Get Married Too?" is a good movie. I think it plays pretty well, and the situations are really good. One of the things that makes this movie good is that it's not a copy of the first movie. This movie has a new setting, new situations, and the characters have grown since the first movie. I want to see what's happening with them and how their conflicts are going to be resolved. The drama is not only suspenseful, but it also makes sense. You can understand where all of this came from. It's pretty good to see these same characters who have changed and stretched and how they react to the new situations.While the movie is good, though, I have to say I was very unsatisfied. I don't know why, but I wasn't as invested in this movie as I was in the first movie. There are moments where the movie drags a bit, and that takes you out of the moment some. But my main problem is the ending. I'm not too upset about Gavin dying, although that did come out of nowhere in a somewhat distasteful way. No, my trouble is with the following scene in the hospital. All of the couples are there soothing Pat, when she tells them to stop and turn to each other to fix their relationships.Now, first of all, I do understand what this is supposed to be. The message here is don't stay in the negativity and issues of your relationships, but rather fix the problems so you can spend your time in energy cherishing the other person and the relationship. That's a great and powerful message! What I don't like is how they do it. Like I said, Pat is crying, the characters are soothing her, and she tells them to stop and turn to each other and fix it. And that's exactly what they do! Just like that, they fix their problems! That's pretty weak! The genius of Tyler Perry's work is how well they reflect real life. This scene is more of something out of a fairy tale. If you want to show the other characters fix it, then let's see them fix it. Let's have them sit down and talk things out. Having that being said, I believe Marcus & Angela fixed their relationship. We saw them sit and have a conversation. I can sort of buy the Troy & Angela story because Troy worked things out with Mike, but we never saw him talk to Angela herself after the whole Mike situation. But what about Terry & Dianne? The last scene we saw with them ended so heavily; they never worked things out after that! Yeah, I don't like that.Finally, what was up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's cameo at the end? That was really random and really pointless.True, the movie drags sometimes and the ending is weird, but besides that, I really like this movie. I think it's good, and it would been much better if the scenes didn't drag and the ending was more realistic. I still actually recommend this movie. It's not bad, but it could be better. Take a look at it. BOOYIKA!

To save my life, I don't understand why Tyler Perry is held in such high regard both by audiences and by professional actors. He takes people who have spent their whole careers building portfolios of quality work and convinces them to spout the drivel he writes. Why?! This is proof positive of the dearth of work for Black actors. If they had any other choice, there is no way these people would sign on for this. This movie was so poorly written and the characters so poorly developed that it became a chore to watch. Particularly irritating was Angela who was obnoxious from the beginning to end. She kept making a fool of herself and everybody just laughed her silly behavior off as a character quirk instead of the pathology she really exhibited. I think she and Marcus were supposed to be comic relief. They weren't. And I still don't know what was the problem with Janet Jackson's character. I STILL don't know. The way Gavin's character was treated is both baffling and inexcusable. No way should Tyler Perry should have been allowed to make another movie after this drivel.

I am usually not a fan of Tyler Perry. For one thing, if you've seen one of his movies, you've pretty much seen them all. They often revolve around an aging plot of over the top dysfunctional relationships that somehow work themselves out by the end of the movie. Most of his movies also includes the Madea subplot, which usually is out of synchronization with the rest of the movie.Why Did I Get Married Too shows Perry's potential as a legitimate screenplay writer when he let's go of his overrated Madea act. Married Too feels like it belongs on the big screen, whereas other films produced and directed by Perry feel like plays adapted for the movies. It could be that the whole Madea act, while I must admit is often very funny, is just too over the top and unbelievable for some of the serious material he tries to mix it with. Stevie Wonder could see Madea is just a man in a fat suit! It could also be the more colorful beach scenes that add flavor to this film, whereas most of his other films are set mostly in Atlanta or some other urban area. With those films, you only get mediocre set pieces with generic pictures of the city backdrop thrown in just to let you know where the story takes place. It's rather boring, and the whole thing with Atlanta as the main setting for his films is getting rather old. Just like M. Night Shyamalan and his affinity to write his story lines in and around Philadelphia, it shows a laziness to screenplay writing and providing the viewer with a different experience. We know that you lived in Atlanta at the time of your big break, Tyler. And trust me, I understand if you don't know one thing about other urban areas. However, let me point out that the great screenplay writers go out and do their research on other locations and other details of a storyline in order to be more diverse in what they offer the viewer. Perry will never get past the black community as his base viewership or his core fans if he doesn't change things up. John Singleton, F. Gary Gary and even Spike Lee understand this.Anyway, once again, Perry relies on star power to camouflage his lack of depth as a screenplay writer and director. Married Too has a nice cast that includes Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Malik Yoba, Tasha Smith, Michael Jai White, Cicely Tyson, Lou Gossette Jr., Dwayne Johnson and Tyler Perry minus Madea.The reason I give it such a high rating is because unlike most of Perry's films most of the performances and scenarios weren't over the top and the problems the couples faced here seem reasonable. It's hard to mix comedy and drama in the same film. Perry has tried it in the past, but he's not at all good at it. However, he does a good job in this film. Comedy is kept in check here, while drama takes the front seat. With his other films, the drama elements are often overshadowed by the Madea routine and her shenanigans.This film also stood out because unlike most movies, it doesn't have a sappy, "all bad things turn out good" ending. I love the two main plot twists in the movie. They were totally unexpected.Could this movie have been better? Yes. Do I still recommend it? Yes. Now, if we will get more effort out of Perry in his future movies remains to be seen. Let's hope so. Tyler Perry has an excellent opportunity that other people of color in the film industry don't. Please be more responsible and creative with this opportunity.
