Wordiezett So much average

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ard0014 I have gone back and forth with my feelings of Tyler Perry's movies. I enjoy them for their material and especially for their religious content. Most of his movies/plays do have a rich background that everything will work out and that God has a plan and as a Christian myself I love that this is included. I believe this movie was good. I enjoyed the characters and the situations they each had but I don't believe any of them were ever resolved. It left the viewer confused. Jill and Troy's problems were never discussed, Angela and Marcus never truly solved their trust issues and Terry and Dianne seemed to just let everything go without talking about it. Each of these situations in themselves could have been their own movie. There was so much that wasn't answered, so much that wasn't talked about. The worst was Patricia and Gavin. Both the first and second movie showed them having issues however, not only were they not resolved but they were barely shown in the first place. They were arguing and clearly in a difficult situation but it's still unknown what was wrong even after the end of the second movie. If Tyler Perry would have gone deeper into the issues of the relationships (or at least solved them in an appropriate way) I probably would have given this movie a 10. On a positive note, Tasha Smith is hilarious! She plays her character so well!

ja-191-280465 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.

popcorninhell There are movies that can inspire, make us dreamers, believers, advocates and activists. Movies that can make us feel young and transport us to places where our imaginations can take flight. Then there are travesties, calamities outright catastrophes catapulting our imaginations into absolute train wrecks. In the case of Tyler Perry's "Why Did I get Married Too?" (2010) its an 747 nose diving into a train wreck adjacent to a firework factory with a daycare center.I had a rough outline of what I was going to discuss for my first helping of Perry. I was going to go into a half-serious discussion on the plight of African-American movie makers and the unfair criticisms lobbed at Tyler Perry and his brand of comedy. Perhaps I could have made a few poignant remarks on the positive representation of African-American family life portrayed in his films and the underlying morality that permeates all of Perry's big-screen efforts...but no. This movie deserves no high-minded discussions or watered-down socio-economic pandering. This movie sucks plain and simple.The clunky first act fakes you into a false sense of security. There was nothing particularly loathsome about it; Corny, stilted dialogue awkward staging, bad acting, nothing worth face-palming over. But after the three couples (and the awkward divorced dude) get back home, things get "Days of Our Lives" meets "Jerry Springer" and we, the audience are struck by septic tanks brimming with excrement passing for emotional drama. Literally everything is thrown at you at once: suspicions of infidelity, alcoholism, divorce, unemployment, cancer; the film is an evil twin brother and a murder mystery away from an Agatha Christie novel. In a regular melodrama about family, marriage and divorce its kosher to throw things like dinner plates around when things get heated, but to humiliate someone in front of their co-workers with a pink-haired male stripper popping out of a fake cake, now that's a Tyler Perry movie!Watching the final scene where the character Patricia (Janet Jackson) meets Dwayne the Rock Johnson a year after being an accessory to the death of her husband (via male pink-haired stripper) was the final crotch punch in this assault and battery of a film. The false assumption that she, or anyone in the film was the least bit sympathetic is simply unreal. As a result I am seriously considering this film to join the ranks of the worst I have ever seen.Just how bad is it? Here is a list of things I would rather do than watch this movie ever again. 1. Watch "The Pirates of Penzance" being performed by a school of deaf children. 2. Be the back end of a thirty person human centipede. 3. Walk down Harlem at night with a glow in the dark spandex suit of the Confederate Flag. 4. Spend the day with Larry the Cable Guy. 5. Vote for Rick Santorum. 6. Watch all seven seasons of "The Gilmore Girls". 7. Do all the stunts from Jackass 3 (2010). 8. Go streaking across the stage of "Jeopardy" while yelling "Who is Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn". 9. Hang upside down for the length of the entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (directors cut). 10. Have to listen to "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus and ONLY that song for the rest of my life.You think I'm joking? Just try to get me to watch this celluloid pox on our houses again and you bet I'll be "moving my hips like yeah".http://theyservepopcorninhell.blogspot.com/

secondtake Why Did I Get Married Too (2010)I didn't see the first one, so can only approach this for what it was--an ensemble film that works with the problems of contemporary marriage. Yes, in particular this focuses on black America, but Perry seems to pull out the ways this part of the culture resembles American culture at large. And so there lies the flaw, in a way, of making much of this movie: it inevitably revisits familiar material. Does it do it well, or with freshness, or any edge of originality? Maybe only in the sense that it represents very very well to do African Americans, a segment not typical Hollywood fodder.This isn't a rotten film, as some viewers like to say, but it isn't as well acted, sharply written, exquisitely filmed, or narratively interesting as it could have been by far. And it compares badly with Perry's wonderful "For Colored Girls." You might say this is ambitious--there are nine full blown main characters, each more or less equally dealing with their spouses--but in a way it is overwhelming, and for me at least I had trouble keeping all the story lines straight at first. But these narratives don't ever quite get fleshed out as fully as they need to be, both for their own sake, as small stories, but for the movie as a whole, since none of the content really goes deep. I don't mean it isn't emotional, but it's moving in a surface way.If you do give this a shot, be aware that the second half of the movie is much better. It's less chitchatty, more serious, has better acting (including some really moving, intense stuff) and has the various plots intertwine and get a little edgy. But also be aware that none of this is especially well done. It rides in a style that might really be called prime time television, interesting but not amazing or transforming.
